Chapter one: Haruhi Fujioka.
Haruhi Fujioka was actually based off a young girl who her own mother committed suicide after she found out that her own husband, the girl's father, was cheating on her with guys.
The girl was only ten years old at the time and she watched in horror as her mother took her own life.
The girl's father buried himself into his gay relationships often leaving the girl alone at home until he believed that the girl didn't exist….. That he didn't have a daughter….. That the girl was too much like her mother that he only thought she was a ghost of the girl's mother… He often brought those he was having a relationship with to his home warning them that if they see a young girl it is only his ex-wife's ghost but the ghost is harmless.
The men didn't really care as they had the one that they were together with and the poor girl was pretty much left to fend for herself.
The girl learned to take care of herself, even almost drowning once when walking by a beach when she was knocked into the water only to be saved by someone nearby, and often the ones living close by all tried to help her where they could. She often wore baggy clothes that made many believe she was quite poor but in truth she just wasn't being cared for so she didn't have much…. But she did also like to wear her school uniform a lot since it helped her not look so poor. And because of her vision problems she wears glasses that her mother got her before she died.
The ones that helped her where they could would sometimes give her clothes so she can look better than being poor and would give her money to help keep herself fed. They would also pitch in to keep her in school.
Because she was smart she often helped lazy kids with their homework while they pretend to be trying to learn. She was sometimes bullied when kids got jealous of her getting so much attention from the peers. She also didn't have friends but there was a guy who had been held back a year ending up in her class…. He fell in love with the girl becoming very sexually attracted to her especially thanks to her beautiful long hair and asked her out but the girl turned him down…..Shattering his heart as if it was glass…. They then separated and went to their own high schools.
However just before her first year in high school there was an incident…. She was walking home from the super market… when she was attacked by someone who she couldn't see the identity of…. She cried out as her attacker tried to out power her… Until the attacker had had enough of the struggling…. He took the axe he was using as his weapon to try to get the girl to cooperate and chopped her head off… Killing her then just leaving her there.
Those that cared about her held a funeral but her father didn't show up still believing the girl was only his ex-wife's ghost.
Because of the axe chopping off her head her hair was chopped short so she didn't look the same but those that truly knew her could recognize her.
In the anime Haruhi's father definitely has homosexual tendencies but is still trying to be a good parent. Haruhi has money to buy food for her and her father but she has no job so the money must be coming from someone else.
Also she is first seen with her hair chopped short, baggy clothes and glasses. She is still someone who would straight A's in school and not only rejected a boy before her hair became short but she also she doesn't show any friends other than those that lived close by but they are adults.
Not to mention her father gets upset in things like that he was not invited to school things by Haruhi thus becoming a wreck. He probably is scared of his daughter leaving him again and that everything is going to fall apart if he doesn't stay close to her.
She looks out for her dad and she also works on caring for herself.
