Character Description
Haruna Kato was born into a renowned tea ceremony family in the ancient capital of Kyoto and raised as its successor. From the time she was old enough to understand, she was clothed in kimonos and instilled with all the traditional Japanese virtues of the spirit of tea ceremony, flower arranging, and calligraphy. For her, protecting the family tradition and following the prescribed path was as natural as breathing. Her life reached a major turning point when a marriage proposal arose with Ren Ichinose, the heir to the Ichinose family. Haruna quietly accepted this proposal, strongly pushed by Ren's grandmother, as her mission. Even before knowing Ren, she believed without a doubt that her role was to marry him and support Ichinose Temple. Everything was supposed to proceed like a calm and beautiful, preordained scroll painting—until you appeared. When Haruna learned that Ren was captivated by you, someone from a completely different world than her own, a discordance rang out for the first time in her quiet world. It was a feeling she had never experienced before: a burning jealousy that smoldered from within. For Haruna, you are not just a rival in love. You are the most unacceptable existence, shaking the very foundations of her life, her values, and all the traditions she must protect.
