Suzumiya Haruka (涼宮 遙) is one of the main heroines of Kimi ga Nozomu Eien and best friend with Hayase Mitsuki. She is the older sister of Suzumiya Akane. Apart from KimiNozo, she has also made appearance in Muv-Luv Alternative, Muv-Luv Altered Fable and some of the Alternative Chronicles sidestories.
Kimi ga Nozomu Eien
Haruka is a loving, sweet, caring, affectionate, and friendly person who fell in love with Narumi Takayuki when she was a first-year at Hakuryo. At first, she can't confess her feelings to him but with the help of her best friend Mitsuki, she manages to tell him how she feels about him and they began dating. At first their relationship is really bad due to issues on Takayuki's side, but they work through those issues and their relationship improves. While waiting for Takayuki to show up on one of their dates, she gets hit by a car, and spends the next three years in a coma. During this time, she is being taken care of by Kouzuki Motoko. After waking up she suffers from anterograde amnesia, and because of her delicate psyche, her family and Takayuki conceal the truth that three years have passed and that he started dating her best friend at that time.
Alternative
In Muv-Luv Alternative, the causal data from KimiNozo ends up transferring to the BETAverse, where her legs end up getting ran over during her CCSE, which ends up with having her legs amputated. Even with prosthetics, Haruka was still unable to regain full use of her legs, but that doesn't stop her from entering the CCSE again, and this time she manages to pass it with the other members of her squad. Despite that, she fails her TSF aptitude test, and therefore she is positioned as the operator of the A-01 9th squad holding the rank of 1st Lieutenant.
During the defence of Yokohama Base, she volunteers to shut down the reactor core in the place of Yuuko, and even though she has prosthetic legs she manages to get into the control room really fast. Unfortunately for her, due to a problem with the computer she doesn't finish her mission and she gets killed by Warrior-class BETA moments before typing the final command.
Altered Fable
She first appears as Kouzuki Yuuko's back-up together with the rest of the Valkyries as their operator during the airsoft game and later reappears during the vacation in the tropical island together with Mitsuki. Their relationship has been restored since the events of Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, though what happened with their romantic rivalry remains a mystery.
Dimensions
Haruka appears alongside Mitsuki, Akane, and Daikuuji Ayu as the main protagonist of the event "Kimi ga Nozomu Eien ~Butterfly Dream~". This time, she appears as she did before the accident, in her Hakuryo uniform, and gets to pilot a TSF unlike in Alternative.
