Nishimura, Haru

西村ハル

Haru is a high school classmate and friend of Akiyuki's, possessing considerable skill in martial arts. She is the first to encounter Xam'd on the wrecked bus; upon realizing he is not an enemy, she attacks the guard attempting to shoot him. She then pursues Xam'd after he is assaulted by a newly arrived Human form enemy, screaming at him to cease fighting. In doing so, she subconsciously calls him Akiyuki, thereby realizing Xam'd's true identity. However, this fails to stop him, and she is eventually drawn into the battle by Xam'd, who protects her while fighting and ultimately defeating the Human form. When Nakiami arrives to subdue the enraged Xam'd, he asks Haru several questions about Akiyuki and Xam'd, rendering her unconscious before she can pose any questions of her own. Nakiami then takes Akiyuki away, leaving Haru to wonder what has occurred.
