Haru Shirazu

Haru Shirazu (不知 ハル, Shirazu Haru) is the younger sister of the late Ghoul Investigator and Quinx Squad Leader Ginshi Shirazu.

She once suffered from a condition known as Rc cell over-secretion disease which causes her to be hospitalized as a result. She is now in a healthy condition as she works with TLF.

Appearance
Due to her Rc cell disease in the past, half of her face grows an Rc tumor which at all times must be supported with rope attached to the ceiling of her room.

Now, Haru returns to her normal-looking appearance as her hair bears the same colour as her late brother.

Personality
Haru often puts a smile on her face. She also showed rather a very doting attitude towards her colleagues in TLF.

Background
During her childhood, Haru's mother abandoned the family and disappeared. It appears that her father eventually committed suicide, leaving her older brother with the responsibility of caring for them both. She eventually developed a tumorous Rc mass and was hospitalized. In order to finance her care, Shirazu volunteered for the Quinx surgery and became a ghoul investigator.

Rose Extermination
Haru is first glimpsed when Shirazu recalls their childhood, back to when she complained about her eyes feeling itchy. He noticed a small bump beneath her right eye, not realizing what it really was. She is then shown in her current condition, hospitalized and surrounded by equipment to support her vital functions with the massive tumor growing out of her right eye. It is then seen as she faintly says "I want to be beautiful," explaining Shirazu's uncomfortable behavior when Nutcracker said the same thing before her death.

Post Extermination
Each of the remaining Quinx squad members promised to pay for Haru's hospitalization in Shirazu's stead.

Epilogue
Haru is seen fully recovered and visiting her brother's grave alongside the rest of the Quinx, who have covered all her treatments. When they are done saying their prayers, they invite her over to The Chateau for lunch, to which she happily accepts.

Dragon Quinx
Haru now works with the Quinx Squad and TLF, in order to continue her late brother's work.

Ginshi Shirazu
The siblings had been very close, especially with their mother abandoning the family and their father's possible suicide. Her illness motivated Shirazu to volunteer for the Quinx Project, allowing himself to be experimented on and sent to hunt ghouls in exchange for money to provide for her care. Right before his death, he mentions that it would be easier to let Haru die, to prevent her from suffering from her tumor any longer.

Kuki Urie
As she now works with the Quinx Squad, it is Urie's duty to be her partner so that the two could work together for the late Shirazu. Urie appears to be very loyal to Urie as she follows every orders he made.

Etymology

 * Haru's surname Shirazu means "Ignorance" (不知).
