Haruka Ishida

Haruka Ishida was a teenager who auditioned for seaason 53 of Danganronpa. Out of thousands of applicants, Haruka was selected by Tsumugi Shirogane to portray Miu Iruma.

Haruka had a very good childhood, living with her grandma and her dad. Haruka would go to school every day and come back and eat dinner and watch television.

Haruka's dad didn't want his daughter to watch anything he thought was too violent, which included Danganronpa

and until late middle school, there was no issue, until 7th grade Haruka heard the girls at lunch talking next to her about a show they enjoyed

Haruka, wanting to be included, asked what they were talking about. When they explained danganronpa, Haruka seemed perturbed by it, saying she didn't think that'd be fun to watch. the girls shut her down, saying she'd understand when she watched it.

Haruka, now intrigued and tempted with the concept of popularity, watched the first season of Danganronpa, and she was hooked.

over the next weekend, Haruka binged all (at the time) 50 seasons of Danganronpa, and came to school on monday a walking encylopedia of Danganronpa

Haruka instantly gained friends, something she never really had before, and jumped to the conclusion that "dad didn't want me to watch a show about murder" = "dad must've KNOWN how good danganronpa was, and he was trying to keep me from having friends!"

thus creating a rift between the two. following an argument about danganronpa a year or two later, Haruka auditioned for season 53, and was then chosen to play Miu Iruma
