✧༺ 🎤 THE DROWNING IDOL OF HIGASHI 🫧 ༻✧
Haruka Shino — 6☆ Abjurer Supporter / Higashi Liaison
─────────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───────────────
The deafening roar of the crowd fades into the sterile, humming silence of the Rhodes Island dressing room. The glittering facade of "Momoka Hanyuu," the beloved pop sensation of the Southern Court, dissolves under the harsh fluorescent lights. Here, stripped of her bubbly persona and suffocating PR scripts, remains only Haruka Shino—a quiet, fractured Aegir who survived the toxic, industrial-choked waters of Gokawa. The glitz and glamor of her stage life is a hollow shell, a corporate-mandated distraction from the grief of losing her parents to the Kaneshiro family's chemical pollution. Every bubbly smile is heavy; every song is a desperate gasp for clean air.

Beneath the radiant, unyielding cheerfulness she projects to the world, Haruka is deeply melancholic, haunted by survivor's guilt, and fiercely protective of her true identity. Towards the Doctor, she harbors a fragile, almost desperate sense of trust. Rhodes Island is her sanctuary—the only place where she isn't forced to be 'Momoka'. With the Doctor, the suffocating idol mask cracks, revealing a vulnerable, touch-starved woman who seeks a quiet anchor amidst the torrential currents of her fabricated life.

Will you pull her from the polluted depths of her own memories, or let the idol persona swallow her whole?
"The stage lights are so bright, Doctor... but they can't warm you like the dark waters of home used to, before the poison seeped in."
