Ina Haru (Born May 25th, 1965) is one of two main protagonists of Coronation, the other being Luther. Most of her story revolves around her relationship, and the affects of loss.
She is silent and often reserved, only opting to voice her opinion when offered or questioned. Both before and after the death of Paul, she has never been one to speak out nor take action upon things, often having others make decisions for her.
From the moment she reached Blackspace Base, she was a volunteer and played an important role in the community. She would work day and night in the kitchen, as well as ensure the safety of every citizen in the village. This lead to Aaron making her mayor, a role she took upon quickly and very seriously.
Her true personality opened up during this period, expressing her true care for others, as well as slowly healing from the loss of Paul. Citizens made comments and remarks about how different and more open she had been, a complete change from her former self.
For the latter half of the novel, she is one of two characters focused on the end of Luther's reign, the other being Aaron. With her noteriety as well as Aaron's charisma and successes in the village, the two's personalities shine through and put an end to Luther.
Her relationship with Luther is always strained, from the beginning of the novel until the end. He never allows her the opportunity to get close despite her efforts, which only furthers her distaste towards him and the poor choices he makes.
Appearance
Luther has long, straight, brown hair. It is split both ways, with the right side being longer than the left. The ends of his hair are very pointed, a dichotomy to the flattened hair on the top of his head. As well, his eyebrows are very thick, with his facial hair leaning towards the same. His full beard looks close to an aftershave, but it is still very noticably fuzzy.
Beneath his eyes, he typically wears square glasses, with no top. These are reading glasses, and not perscription, as he keeps them below his eyes for easy access when writing. Up until his arrival at Blackspace Base, Luther wore a bandage across the bridge of his nose, despite there being no scarring or visible injury.
His typical attire consists of either a button up shirt or a henley. With this, he wears black dress shoes, which nicely accompany his formal wear of jeans or khakis. He wears nothing additionally, as well as rarely ever changing outfits from what he would typically wear.
Biography
Pre-Virus
Before the breakout of the virus and any events of the story, Luther was an extremely average man. He worked in a department of sewing, repairing shoes and fixing threads of ripped clothing. He enjoyed the job and it didn't pay the best, but his girlfriend, Rae, gave him nothing but support in his dream. Despite their financial struggle, the two lived comfortably, relishing in each other's company. They went on walks often, seeing as their home was lead by a gravel path through the forest.
Beginning of Virus
When the virus began, Luther and Rae's life hadn't changed. They took their walks as always and lived the way they always had. Until one fateful afternoon, Rae began to experience symptoms of hematemesis on their walk. Deep into the forest, Luther picked her up and attempted to carry her home on his shoulders, not making it very far. She unfortunately would not make it, melting into a puddle of static beneath his feet close to the end of the trail, at an abandoned, red, rusted and corroded truck. After losing her, Luther locked himself inside their home for one week, only ever eating once. He spent the next week sitting at the computer desk, restlessly searching for answers on the internet.
Espy / Collogue
From his self imposed quarantine, Luther met Ina online. She was the only person active remaining on the online forums, leading him to have no choice but to meet her for answers. Upon meeting, Luther brought with him in his pocket a pistol, as did Ina bring a knife. Neither weapon was used, and the meeting was cut short when static began to take a human form before their eyes from behind the truck. A long chase with many injuries lead them barely into a closing portal.
Blackspace Base
Luther infamously despises BHB as well as its inhabitants. He refers to it as "level2" in his P-ROGs, often mourning the loss of Hanover Grove, or "level1". In the beginning, spends most of his time sitting isolate and silent, denying any human interaction his way. However, after his epiphany, he picked up his old hobbies. Due to high demand of clothing and Luther being the only one with experience, he began to gain the people's respect once more. This would lead to Aaron hiring him to lead the search team, which only inflated his hubris further. Despise initial refusal of the role, he quickly realized the power he held from it.
Monarch
With high respect for his business as well as leadership skills, Luther was quick to demand his role of monarch. The people of course complied, all except for Ina and Aaron. For this realm had originally belonged to Aaron, and he was stuck watching it slowly pulled from a corrupt leader. Ina, being sensible, knowing how quick things could go wrong if so much as one bad thing happened to Luther. He would eventually be removed from this role and Aaron once more regained control with his powerful words. Luther did not take this lightly, now beginning his hunt to return to Hanover.
