"Early Spring"
Hatsuharu is the namesake ship of the Hatsuharu-class destroyers in Kantai Collection.
She has long purple hair in a ponytail secured with a rope with ornamental shide. She has purple eyes and her eyebrows are in hikimayu. She wears a short one-piece sailor dress with thighhighs and black gloves. She usually holds a folding fan and talks in a very formal, if old-fashioned way (Uses personal pronoun "Warawa", uses "ja" as copula, etc.). She has a floating chevron-shape thing as her headgear. Her gear usually glows a orangeish yellow color.
In her second remodel, her clothes and rigging design are revamped. Her sailor dress is now sleeveless, button-up and features a pattern along the brim and collar. Her tie is replaced with a metal piece holding more shide. Her thighhighs and elbow gloves are shortened and are visually replaced with a pair of heels and wide white gloves. Her rigging is more detailed and replaces the gun drones on flexible arms with a fixed twin gun and a stack of two triple torpedo launchers on more robust arms. The "floating chevron thing" over her head has been redesigned to be simpler as well. Her hair is slightly longer at the front and gained volume on the back. She also holds a new folding fan as well.
