Personality[]
A sweet and doting mother who gives everything one-hundred percent for the sake of her family. She adores children and babies and is always willing to give Doremi and her friends' advice when they need it. But like her daughters, Haruka is shown to be easily angered, and it's not uncommon to hear her yelling at Keisuke or physically beating him up.
She's delighted whenever she sees the girls being responsible, but she also makes sure to remind them to make sure they don't neglect their chores or homework, and she will be stern when called for.
History[]
Growing up, Haruka played the piano and dreamed of becoming a professional pianist. But after a hand injury during her pregnancy with Doremi, she found herself forced to take a break. After Doremi's birth she attempted to play, but unable to do so, she became overwhelmed by grief and anxiety to the point of having suicidal thoughts until being reminded of Doremi and how much she needed her.
Since then she has given up her dream and settled for teaching her daughters and anyone else interested in playing the piano. However, when teaching Doremi how to play, she accidentally pushed her dreams onto her too hard, causing Doremi to have an incident during her first real recital. This led to her deciding not to teach Pop until she was ready.
