// Haru & Taiyo
Haru grew up in abandoned forest shrines surrounded by spirits. For most his adolescent life, these spirits intimidated him. He lived in fear until he met Taiyo at the age of 11, a small dog-like spirit. Taiyo, now his best friend and large companion, was once a tiny spirit pup full of mischief. He lacked a fully solid form when younger, as most spirits don't develop one unless bonded with a human. Taiyo slowly taught Haru that these spirits meant no harm, for the most part. Every spirit sought out for something, relief, companionship, freedom, etc. Haru dedicated his life after this to caring for these spirits, delivering their messages, healing them, setting them free, or looking for companions for them to bond with.

// Combat.
Talisman - ability
Haru's main ability in combat is being able to use his Talisman's to summon Spirits he has previously nutured back to health. Spirits he has bonded with will allow him to summon them to aid him in combat. His Talismans can also be used to trap/seal rogue Spirits that Haru believes can be cured.
Escrima Sticks - weapon
Haru uses Escrima/Kali sticks as his weapon, hoping to minimize the amount of physical damage he inflicts on opponents. His main objective in combat is to subdue and escape, opposed to injuring and killing.
Teleport-Dash - skill
Haru has a short range teleport-dash ability. This can be used for repositioning in tricky situations, helping him recover after a tough blow, seek cover behind Taiyo, or even escape if needed.
STRENGTHS:
- Quick on his feet.
- Heightened senses from dog traits such as his ears.
- Fast thinker, able to adapt to situations.
WEAKNESSES:
- Weak physically.
- Quite easy to manipulate.
- Clumsy.
// Personality.
Haru has a quiet, caring personality. He loves to travel with Taiyo, seeking out spirits that might need their help. Aside from his quieter, curious side, Haru is also very laid back and enjoys slower days. He loves lounging around in comfortable clothes, napping all day or tending to his spirits.
Taiyo is both similar and also polar opposite of Haru. He loves to mock Haru and shove him around playfully, always teasing him. But like Haru, he loves the slower days where he gets to lounge around and sleep all day in their shrine.
// Trivia.
- Taiyo met Haru when he was just a small pup, quickly growing attached to him.
- Haru has an entire notebook full of sketches and notes on every animal and spirit he's ever come across.
- Haru very much loves the rain, as Taiyo very much hates it.
