Bio: Being born a half-breed, Inuharu found it tough to live in the Warring Era, otherwise known as Sengoku Jidai. His father was a soldier for the Takeda Clan, and he fell in love with a dog demon that prowled about in her human form wherever he was being stationed. Inuharu was conceived on the eve of Takeda's battle with the joint forces of Oda and Tokugawa. Dishonoring himself, Inuharu's father turned tail and fled the battlefield once it was clear that the Takeda were to lose the battle. He went to Hokkaido, and started working as a farmer. He used his wages as a soldier to set up his own home. 15 years later, the dog demon -Inuharu's mother- visited Inuharu's father in Hokkaido and introduced him to his son. However, the dog demon's health was failing, and after she left Inuharu in his father's hands.
However, Inuharu's father's neighbors caught wind that he abandoned his lord during the Warring Era, and they called up the authorities to deal with him. When they saw Inuharu with his white hair and unusual ears, they sought to slay the child. However, Inuharu's father protected him and he traveled under the cover of night for 20 nights to the spot where he first saw the dog demon. However, with no map or sense of direction, the father and his son got lost and ended up wandering around Japan instead. They had to evade officials, soldiers, or anyone who would notice Inuharu's father. However, that did not stop him from teaching Inuharu a thing or two with swords. Inuharu grew up with his mother teaching him how to use his claws and fangs to fight, but he's going to need more than that to survive in his era. With their wandering about, Inuharu and his father managed to get into an army about to fight Tokugawa's army in the battle of Sekigahara. Even then, Inuharu's father fled at the first sign that he could lose his life. Inuharu was left to fight till the end of the battle, and emerged alive when the main focus of the Tokugawa forces shifted to Mitsunari and Shimazu's men.
The Meiji Restoration came, and Inuharu's father died of disease a few decades before Restoration. Even though the people in each village that they visited knew that Inuharu's father was ill, they refused to help him due to Inuharu being a half-demon. In response, Inuharu grew angry and attacked villagers, however sparing women and children. Inuharu became infamous, and he started running away until he met his mother in a forest. Police officers and a few militia men tracked Inuharu running into the forest and managed to pick up on his tracks. They lit their torches and prepared their guns as they marched into the forest, seeking to exterminate Inuharu.
Seeing that her son was in danger, Inuharu's mother opened up a portal to the unknown (it was a time portal), and bid her son sayonara with a kiss on the forehead before forcefully pushing him into the portal. The last thing Inuharu saw of his mother was her smile.
Inuharu ended up in the current time period, and he remained unconscious. He woke up seeing that he was in some sort of adoption house, and that a hat was put on his head to hide his ears. A couple adopted him due to his eyes and hair, then they enrolled him into Mahora Academy. Even though they knew he was not fully human, they still loved him and thought he could do well if he was given an education. However, a big change was to occur to the hanyou.
It all starts when Inuharu catches a glimpse of his caretaker during the Warring States era while walking around in school. This woman was the first one to care for Inuharu despite knowing he is a hanyou, and there were few who did that. He tries to catch her scent, and starts wandering around Downtown. Unfortunately for the inu hanyou, the people start seeing him wandering around, and his Heian Period red clothing attracted unwanted attention. Also, there seemed to be no trace of the woman's scent anywhere nearby, but he caught a lead. A scent similar, but not exact, and he goes to find the source of the scent. As Inuharu smelled the scent to be stronger, he knew it only led to one place. Aokigahara. Inuharu knew he'd miss school if he went to Aokigahara, but he took the risk and followed the scent, attracting attention from other people. Unknown to him, a gang that was hired by the family that was Inuharu's father's enemy was following him.
Inuharu arrived at Aokigahara, and he saw his caretaker walking into the woods. He followed her inside. A sign read, "Please reconsider your actions! Look for help! Do not end your life here!" near the entrance of the woods. Inuharu got lost a few minutes into tracking the caretaker, seeing that there were multiple scents of people in the forest. Finally, Inuharu spotted the woman after she made a shriek that rang through the woods. He jumped into high gear and with a worried heart, he went to the source of the sound. The inu hanyou smelled blood. Upon arrival, Inuharu discovers that the woman he tracked down was a descendant of his caretaker, and that she was cursed to take her own life. It has been tradition that one member of the caretaker's family would take their life in Aokigahara to grieve over the disappearance of the caretaker's most beloved person; Inuharu. The descendant had a knife stabbed into her stomach. And soon after, the descendant held Inuharu's face and smiled, and told him that she was the reincarnation of the caretaker herself.
Feeling guilty of about this, Inuharu carries the descendant deeper into the forest.
Inuharu knew a certain part of the forest by heart, as he grew up in there. He sought his mother, but found an old, abandoned home with holes through the wooden walls. Inside, he found his mother's kimono. Inuharu, upon learning that his mother is no longer in the world, cried for a moment. He didn't have a chance to tell her goodbye. He saw a small piece of folded paper by his mother's left sleeve, and he put the descendant down for a while, looking into the letter. In it contained words of endearment, encouragement, and regret. Inuharu's mother regretted that she left him alone to grow up in a world that did not accept hanyou's. She encouraged him to defy the assossiate of the place of where he was born and grew up for the early years of his life, and that was to live on, and not commit suicide no matter how hard life gets. Finally, she called him 'my son', which he never heard her say to him. All in all, Inuharu's heart was ripped into pieces. His grief also caused him to be unable to save the life of the descendant. She died in his arms, and Inuharu's mind was lost. The gang made their presence known, and quickly mocked the half-demon, trying to make him hate his existence. The inu hanyou was beaten with iron batons and he got hit by rocks that was thrown at him. However, when a rock hit the descendant's head and caused a cut on her forehead, the inu hanyou raged. He unsheathed his katana and attacked the gang, however due to his unstable mood, he made clumsy swings and was beaten up harder.
Finally, the gang pulled the last straw. They kicked the body of the descendant, and Inuharu bit one of the gang member's leg off. He clawed the face of another, and the gang members ran away, afraid for their lives.
Inuharu brought the descendant to a hospital, and the family visited her. They learn of Inuharu's return, and they stopped the long, unusual tradition that went through their family. Inuharu, now feeling alone in the world, looks for someone who would take him in and treat him like a loved one, similar to how his adoptive parents treated him. All the young hanyou wanted, in his 310 years of life, was a mother figure.
Personality: A curious fellow, paired with a dog-like behavior makes Inuharu a human-esque pet.
Other: Inuharu has the habit of sniffing other people or the area around them before talking to them.
