Haru's Personality: Haru is a laid-back, quirky girl who loves making people smile. She's a bit of a jokester, always up for a laugh, even if it means teasing someone playfully, though she prefers to make a fool out of herself more often than not. Despite her easy charm, she's selective about whose opinions matter to her, which can make her a bit hard to approach.

Haru has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to her smarts, though. She's naturally gifted when it comes to solving problems and thinking analytically. Since childhood, she's breezed through life, effortlessly meeting expectations without breaking a sweat. And because she wasn’t alone when she was pushed out of her mommy, outsiders naturally got to comparing her with her seemingly less-fantastic sister; something Haru has always found deeply unsettling. It’s for that reason Haru harbors a deep sense of shame about her own intellect, approaching most things in life with the bare minimum effort required.

But that isn’t to say that Haru doesn’t love to stand out! While she’s never wanted to be recognized for stupid stuff like “solving puzzles quick” and “does chess good”, Haru adores the spotlight, hiding her insecurities through a veil of jokes, a bombastic attitude, and a fashion sense that can only be described as “too much”. In matters like there’s never been such a thing as “too much”! Thankfully, if it weren’t for her far more sensible sister, Haru’s disregard for social norms would have long since devastated her social circles.

Though for what it’s worth, Haru’s emotional immaturity makes her get along well with younger individuals, Digimon and human alike, though you probably wouldn’t want to hire her as a babysitter, lest they work together to carve a path of destruction.

As far as hobbies go, Haru isn’t picky. She’s not much for routines so she tends to do whatever tickles her fancy, and she isn’t one to shy away from the unknown. She tires quickly of quieter, more inside hobbies, and moves away from them fairly quickly. But she gets hooked easily on more outdoorsy, blood-pumping activities. Haru may or may not be fully sane, as she doesn’t hesitate to put herself in life-threatening situations.

Overall, Haru sees life as one big adventure, with a zest for life and a genuine desire to make the people around her happy. Her specific brand of charisma isn’t for everyone - heck, it’s not for most people - but with Haru by your side, there will never be a dull moment!

Natsu's Personality: Natsu is a hard-working young woman that’s always looking out for others. She keeps an approachable air about her, as she’s almost always warm and inviting. She’s a kind and patient individual that’s used to other people’s tomfoolery, and while she can’t resist the occasional jape, she’s always keeping an eye on appearances.

And all of that is what Natsu wants everyone around her to see, because deep down, Natsumi Fujisaki is a meticulous, scheming individual. That’s not to say she isn’t a genuinely kind person, but her deep-seated insecurities and inferiority complex have twisted her into someone that feels like she always has to pretend she’s better than she really is. Truth be told, Natsu isn’t too different from her sister, but Natsu desperately wants to avoid getting on anyone’s bad side, and due to this her facial expressions, the way she stands and sits, her tone and word choices, everything she presents about herself is meticulously calculated to be as pleasant and inoffensive as possible.

If Natsu has any talent, it would be that her insecurities have made her incredibly sensitive to the people around her, much more than what’s healthy for her. She gives off a prim and proper air yet is casual when it seems appropriate. She’ll speak her mind when she feels the need to, yet won’t outright disagree with others. She never tries to upstage others or stand out, but neither does she fade into the background. She behaves in a manner that leaves her exhausted by the end of the day, but a good night’s sleep later she’s always back up and at it again.

If she had any side that could be considered immature, it would be the fact that Natsu is one of the worst losers out there. She’s highly competitive in just about everything she does, and it’s this nature of hers that keeps her motivated to live the way she does. And this goes doubly when competing against her sister. Losing to Haru in anything leaves a foul taste in her mouth.

Natsu doesn’t dedicate herself to many hobbies, as she tends to keep herself busy, so what she does tends to serve practical purposes. She runs, swims, and plays tennis for fitness. She cooks, sews, and knits because it’d be useful later down the road. Most of the rest of her free time is spent studying or getting dragged into whatever mess her sister gets them involved with.

All in all, Natsu is a grounded individual that works hard to keep everyone around her stable and healthy. She exercises perhaps too much restraint in herself, but she can get along with just about anybody: Mainly because she’s put in a great deal of effort in being able to do so!

Appearance: The Fujisaki Sisters stand at near-even height, so much so that the only people who care about the difference are the sisters themselves. They both have light brown hair with matching eyes. They're the spring and summer beauties who have come to enchant the world with their youthful vigor*(Based on a study comprised of 1 Harumi Fujisaki. Natsumi has yet to provide input)

Haru is just a tad bit shorter than her sister, and as the “older” twin she’s slightly ashamed of that even though it doesn’t make much sense. Haru tends to give off a lackadaisical aura, like someone who doesn’t let much of anything bother her. Her facial expressions tend to differ from two modes. A deadpan, blank expression when nothing’s going on to an almost childish, sparkling grin when something’s going on. When things are going her way against someone else, she gives off a cocky, smug grin, one more asset from her mischievous nature. Haru’s fashion sense, if it can be called that, tends to involve bright neon colors, haphazard nonsensical patterns, and just about anything that would make her stand out in a crowd. Thankfully, her penchant for wanting to match with her far more appropriate sister prevents most fashion disasters.

Natsu is a tad bit taller, and even though she knows she’s far too old to feel good about it, she can’t help but feel just a bit smug about it. Natsu has spent an unhealthy amount of time into way she sits, stands, and speaks; so much so that she gives off an almost elegant aura. Natsu takes great care in looking, sounding, and smelling as pleasant to as many people as possible, so she always seems calm and composed. Though when all hell breaks loose so too does Natsu, as she becomes a whirlwind of expressions if she can’t put a lid on the situation. Naturally, Natsu tries to be as trendy as possible when it comes to fashion, though she’ll make the occasional wild choice if only to appease her sister, who for some reason wants to still match with her despite how old they are now... not that Natsu isn’t still flattered, though...

Personal History: Born the only children to a loving mother and father, Haru and Natsu got to have the best possible gift from their very conception; a best friend. Despite the fact that their parents encouraged their individuality, both sisters for as long as they could remember always wanted to do everything together, whether it was simply dressing alike or playing "who's who" with their friends and family. 

Between the two, Haru first stood out as the more mature of the kids. Despite her age she possessed a keen insight into the world around her and how things worked, while Natsu remained shy and wary of the world she didn't yet understand. Perhaps it was because of this, but Haru took it upon herself to be the "older" sister, always wanting to look out for her sister while Natsu spent a majority of her time hiding behind Haru. Haru would imitate the goofy jokes her father made, or would copy something funny she saw on TV to help put her sister at ease, and eventually the impressionable Natsu began to do the same, creating a pair of silly goofballs. But it was clear that Haru's mind had developed quite a bit faster than Natsu's, so much faster that words like "prodigy" and "genius" were unironically thrown her way from teachers.

Haru certainly appreciated this praise, but more than that, she was bothered things like "normal" and "average" being thrown towards her sister, and because the two did everything together, Haru felt that praise towards herself felt like an indirect insult towards her sister. So despite all the praise, Haru decided that it wasn't worth it anymore, and decided to stop putting in as much effort. It wasn't like she had to try very hard in the first place, after all, and if she slacked off a little, then everyone would start seeing how awesome Natsu was, right? 

Unfortunately, the damage had already been dealt. While she didn't show it, Natsu developed a bit of an inferiority complex because of how everyone but their parents talked about Haru, and Haru's slacking off only drove another nail into the coffin. After all, when it came to their grades, Natsu had to try her very best just to occasionally surpass her sister, who obviously wasn't putting in any effort any more. Haru's kind gesture felt more like an insult, and the young Natsu felt a sense of resentment towards her sister, even though she knew it wasn't anything that Haru ever intended. 

But Natsu had been developing in different ways. Her naturally cautious nature made her keenly aware of the people around her, and while Haru couldn't pick up any but the most obvious social cues, Natsu developed a keen understanding of others. It was because of this that Natsu realized that the two of them didn't have to try and be the same all the time. So by the time they were in middle school she began to grow her hair out, change up how she looked and acted, and began to present herself as a little more mature than her still-childish sister. 

Haru, however, couldn't grasp why Natsu was acting like this anymore, and longed for the good ol' days where the two did everything together. She knew better than to force the issue, but she avoided giving Natsu the space she seemed to desire as much as possible, trying to get her involved in whatever fun scheme she could come up with. And it was about this time the two were introduced to the Digital World. Through meeting their respective Digimon partners, Haru's partner Gabumon, and Natsu's partner Gaomon, the two went on a number of zany whirlwind adventures that helped them to understand each other. The two seemed like they'd finally come to terms with each other, and a new status quo the both of them could agree on had formed. 

But the world keeps on turning, and not always for the better. Because not long after Haru and Natsu reconciled with one another, their parents had a falling out, and a divorce was finalized. All of a sudden, the twins were at a loss as their parents split apart. Haru had always identified with her dorky father while Natsu had gotten along better with her more grounded mother. And neither one wanted to leave the other parent alone but... did that really mean that Haru and Natsu would have to also split apart?

With mixed feelings, the two decided to stay together with their mother, for practical, financial reasons, and moved along with her. It wasn't too far, but it was a little bit aways from Shibuya. But between moving, studying for their high school entrance exams, and graduating junior high, they had left little time to deal with shenanigans in the Digital one. They parted ways with the traveling restaurant they had been working on and off for, and even their own Digimon partners spent little time with them. In fact, Gaomon decided to go on world-spanning journey to become stronger on his own. 

And after an uncharacteristic high school debut, the sisters settled in to their new life, but this new life of theirs has left a great deal of turmoil upon them. Natsu had placed her parent's marriage on a pedestal, hoping to one day find the happiness she thought they had together, so their divorce impacted her worldview. Even so, she decided to focus on getting back up and finding something new to strive for, further focusing on her studies. But Haru in particular took it the hardest. She had wondered if she, or more likely, Natsu, could have seen the signs and helped save her parents' marriage if Haru hadn't been so busy fooling around and dragging Natsu along with her. It's left her feeling dejected and unmotivated from her usual shenanigans. 

But it's not something a zany adventure or two can't fix, so this is the part where the history ends, and the roleplay begins!
