Haine is a very simple girl with a very complex past. Throughout her life she's gone through many trials and tribulations, and thought they all set her back, she finds her way out of any situation and/or has the ability to smile throughout almost anything. She's simple-minded, cheerful, and chipper. She can be extremely dense and isn't the brightest light on the tree, but what she lacks in intelligence she totally makes up for it in being a good person and her steadfastness. Haine is the kind of person who will give up absolutely anything for the people she loves and always puts others first. Haine also puts a very high value on love and considers it to be something precious and special. While she thinks this, love, sex, and things related to them make her extremely embarrassed. Even telling Shizumasa things related to liking him is hard for her and she gets extremely flustered afterwards

Haine is extremely good at working and has a wonderful work ethic. Once she's been given a job, she'll give it her all. She works hard for her friends and is constantly active and doing something for someone, sometimes forgetting about herself in the process. With people, Haine is good at conversing and is street smart; she's a social creature and well-liked except by those jealous of her status or irked by her cheerful disposition. She's incredibly versed in how to make people smile, though her own smiles can sometimes not be as genuine. Haine often hides and shoves aside her sadness and pain to reflect an outward appearance that's happy and cheerful. She doesn't really think that grief and sadness are things that need to be dwelled on, as the future and other matters are vastly more important.

Fighting is something she's incredibly good at, honed by her vigorous dancing classes at an early age, though the technique and force comes from a history of yanki gang activity. When she's fighting, she's incredibly in the zone and focused. She enjoys it when it's for a just cause and is extremely good at it. Once, during a fight, her front two teeth were knocked out; they are now replaced by fake ones that are easily retractable. When these fall out, she is enraged and more willing to be violent and has no real cognition as to what she's doing (unless Shizumasa is involved, then she recognizes him and would never hurt him).

Haine is extremely emotive. She sometimes takes things a little extremely and doesn't rationalize how to keep face and composure in situations. She's really bad at filtering herself and doesn't realize that sometimes she says some really dumb things. She's prone to be pretty cheesy, as per the shoujo manga heroine trope dictates, and she will often try to pump up someone and pep talk them until they feel better again. If someone has a problem, she'll be the first person there to try and help them fix it. Though she loves to help others and listen to them, she doesn't really enjoy discussing anything about herself because of the numerous things that have happened in her past and her ability to push away past instances and bad feelings and internalize them

Because of instances in her past, Haine hates money. She hates that money solves problems, along with status and the amount of money and people willing to back you. This stems from being bought and sold as a child, though it also has to do with her hard-working personality, though all these attributes help to add and enhance the others. She isn't exactly averse to rich people, though, being wealthy herself. She doesn't like the fact that a lot of poorer people have the mentality that they need to bow before rich people and that rich people think they can do whatever they want. This being said, Haine has a very keen sense of justice and enjoys and pushes people to do the right thing. Being a yanki was a way to blow off steam and an exhibit of her falling from grace, and she only ever did any real damage to other gang members, and she also realizes it was wrong to do. She makes up for her wrongdoings, something she strongly believes in people doing, by being extremely pacifistic now, unless she's fighting for a greater good. It's also important to note that even though Haine comes from money herself, she doesn't like to be categorized based on her wealth, though she does appear to own a lot of expensive things and goes to a very expensive school.

Instinctual and rash, Haine is very quick on her feet and hasty, not very good at thinking things through. She's one of those people who does something dumb and realizes it a split second afterwards. When engaged in combat, though, she's very good at thinking on her feet and making the best of her situation just by a natural talent for violence. While imaginative and creative, she's not extremely good with words (her Japanese grades were always Ds) and can sometimes trip up on what she says.

Because she was used as a transaction piece and given up on by her family and the man that had adopted her finally had a real son, Haine became a yanki gang member, fearing she had no place left for her. She now realizes, of course, that while she wouldn't take the experiences back, they were not the smartest decisions and made her even more unworthy of being loved, especially by the man she loved herself. While Haine exudes a certain kind of elegance, her self esteem is awful. She thinks she can never be completely redeemed and is doomed to stay in the darkness forever, never being good enough to be loved by anyone. In later chapters, she is finally broken of this belief, but it's still something that she's held onto for quite some time. She forgave her parents for lying to her and selling her, but she never really recognized that it was their fault and not hers. For quite some time, she had no contact with her real mother and the person she assumed to be her real father just because they ostracized her, not because she didn't want to be with them. She expresses that a dream of hers is to "become someone that her father is proud of". Haine loves her family, but still holds a lot of internal issues with self-loathing relating to instances they put her through. She's a lot more positive now, but her feelings are still there through most of the manga.

Haine was well known in her area as the Hama Cinderella, a vicious gang member. She fought constantly and while she's not in a gang anymore, she's still extremely capable when it comes to a fight. Post-gang, she fought off a hoard of snakes, was the bodyguard of her school's student council, fought numerous returning gang members, and reenlisted for a short period of time. She's extremely capable with her hands and feet in battle, normally using kicks and other gymnastic like moves. It's also shown she's good at sword play, as she beat another member of the student council in a duel once.

Less important abilities include a slew of classes her family made her take when she was younger, though she dropped them all pretty quickly. Her abilities in them will be extremely rusty and at an elementary level. They include ballet, tea ceremony, flower arrangement, the piano, along with possibly others related to traditional Japanese culture and talents.

WARRIOR ➜ PALADIN : Haine is and always has been a fierce fighter. While she has had her falls from grace, her biggest wish is to live in the light and be someone people can be proud of, thus pushing her from a Punisher to a Paladin; a more "good guy" type would be best for her. Because she has the dual want to protect those she loves and fight for her own place in the world, I feel this is best for her.
