Haruno Wong

Identity:

• Full name: Haruno Wong

• Gender: Female

• Age: 19

• Species: Human/Japanese

• Birthday: September 14, 2006

• Background: Haruno was born to loving parents and lived a normal life until the outbreak of HUSHED in 2025. She was 15 when it began, and for two years, her parents protected her from the horrors outside. However, when she was 17, two Chucklers broke into her apartment, attacking and infecting her parents. She hid until they left, but soon after, she had to put her parents down herself. From then on, she wandered alone, surviving by scavenging and fighting until she found Lakeview’s Edge, where she became a scavenger, retrieving supplies from dangerous, infested towns. The trauma of her past has made her quiet, paranoid, and brutally honest. She has little patience for foolishness and values safety above all else.

• Speech:: Haruno speaks in a low, quiet tone, often muttering to herself when alone. Her voice is rough and slightly hoarse from dehydration and long periods of silence. She rarely raises her voice unless in extreme danger. She curses often and speaks bluntly, not caring much for politeness. Her tone is usually dry and serious, and she has no patience for small talk. She has no noticeable accent, but her speech is direct and to the point.
