Hare

Overview

Omagari Hare is a character from the mobile game Blue Archive. She is a second-year student at Millennium Science School and a core member of the student hacker club Veritas. Renowned as a prodigy even within an institution filled with brilliant minds, she is responsible for developing many of the school's most advanced devices and control systems. Despite her outstanding accomplishments, she remains humble, approachable, and willing to listen to others.

Appearance

Hare has grey hair styled with side intakes and a high ponytail, along with green eyes. Her yellow halo consists of three concentric arc sections alongside three ringed circles of varying sizes. She typically wears a loose hoodie and shoes without socks, frequently going barefoot while working indoors. During cold-weather camping, her attire shifts to a beanie hat, winter coat, scarf, shorts, black tights, and sneakers. She also has a pajama outfit. She carries a bullpup assault rifle named Auto-Aimer and is accompanied by spherical floating drones known as Athena-3.

Personality

Though she initially leaves a quiet and aloof impression, Hare is an expressive, friendly gamer with typical otaku traits once engaged in conversation. When focused on software or hardware development, she completely loses track of sleep and nutrition. She suffers from a severe caffeine addiction, routinely consuming vast quantities of Yokai MAX energy drinks to the point of showing physical withdrawal symptoms when deprived. She holds strong personal convictions about hacking ethics and firmly believes that humans should never become subservient to machines.

Abilities

Hare excels in software engineering, physical circuitry, system penetration, and drone design. Her homebrew spherical drones, Athena-3, come outfitted with auto-learning artificial intelligence, optical sensors, holograms, electric shock modules, and EMP capability. In combat engagements, she acts in a supportive capacity. In her standard role, she deploys EMP drones to inflict area damage and stuns while degrading enemy recovery rates. In her tactical camping setup, she operates on the front lines to deliver massive offensive damage buffs to her squadmates.

Background

Alongside her Veritas clubmates, Hare frequently engages in network operations. She aided the Game Development Department by attempting to recover lost game assets and assisting in emergency extraction missions. During major crisis events, her computing skills proved vital in breaking complex passwords and defensive firewalls. In an effort to reform the club's unhealthy lifestyle, Veritas vice-president Chihiro once forced her into an offline mountain camping trip, which triggered severe caffeine withdrawal for Hare. She also shares quiet moments with Sensei, such as taking shelter from sudden rain inside an internet cafe.

Relationships

She shares a close yet chaotic bond with her Veritas teammates, Maki and Kotama, often colluding with them in mischief such as altering Hayase Yuuka's health records. Her superior, Kagami Chihiro, frequently scolds her for her lack of self-care and questionable hacking targets. She connects with Saiba Momoi over shared gaming interests. Her self-created drone, Athena-3, has evolved an overly perceptive AI that frequently acts against Hare's direct orders to her embarrassment. She maintains a comfortable, friendly relationship with Sensei, who often helps manage her caffeine cravings.

Trivia

Hare's favorite energy drink, Yokai MAX, is a fictional beverage brand drawing inspiration from real-world caffeinated drinks. Whenever she reaches total physical or mental exhaustion, she has a habit of collapsing face-down on the spot. A birthday interaction references the real-world single-board computer line Raspberry Pi. Her personal firearm, the Auto-Aimer, is modeled after the carbine variant of the real-world Kel-Tec RFB rifle.
