Harika Aburame

is an Academy student from the Aburame clan in Konohagakure.

Personality
She is quite curious and discussed Kawaki's behaviour with her classmate. Like Soul, Harika is a rather simple girl who can happily pat her on the shoulder when her comrade succeeds, and maybe hit her in case of failure. She is easily surprised, and can be aggressive if ignored. Harika becomes happy when someone praises the dish she has prepared. While carefree normally, she has a very assertive and competitive side, easily intimidating the older Kawaki when angered.

Appearance
Harika is a fair-skinned girl who wears a headdress that looks like an aviator's helmet, through which two pigtails of brown hair stick out. She wears brown shorts, black stockings, a pair of plain sandals, and a short brown cloak, under which a blue bag is hidden, swooping over her shoulder. Like all members of the clan, Harika's eyes are covered with eyewear, her wearing what appear to be aviator goggles. She is also one of the tallest in her class.

Abilities
As a member of the Aburame clan, Harika is able to use the clan's techniques and provides her body as housing for the kikaichū. She able to use them for spying and reconnaissance. She is also skilled in cooking, being able to make curry, which Kawaki delighted in.

Kawaki & Himawari Academy Arc
Harika attended the Academy opening ceremony as part of a new class. Her classroom was put under the care of new teacher Hana Kaka. When her new classmates introduced themselves, Harika discussed them with the others, especially Kawaki. She was also present when the reporters interviewed Kae Yukiwari, and afterwards at class practice, where she admired Himawari Uzumaki and Eiki Fūma's shurikenjutsu skills.

She later attended a tea party hosted by Kae, where she noted that Kawaki's behaviour came across more as awkward than scary. After an incident involving Kawaki and cake was revealed to be due to Osuka forcing Neon to put mustard in the cake, Harika approved of Kae's outburst, scolding Osuka for her abuse of Neon. She and other students encouraged her to remain her genuine self, and continued the party, having taiyaki which Kawaki had brought.

During a practical lesson day, she was placed in a team alongside Soul and Kawaki. As he was older, the girls decided he should be team leader. However, Kawaki kept being distracted by his own secret mission to protect Kae, placing their team poorly in the assignments, angering the girls to the point Harika took over as leader. During lunch, she cooked curry and stressed he should make up for it during the afternoon tests. Kawaki's performance during the afternoon was much more committed, placing them highly in the tests, though not enough to place first in general over the lacklustre performance during the morning.

Later, Harika took part of a school play about the Sannin. During a rehearsal, Eiki going off script to try exposing Kawaki as an actual shinobi resulted in much of the set being damaged, after which Harika joined in the efforts to repair it.

During the festival, Harika and her classmates worked hard setting up all the stands and events. She worked alongside Neon in a haunted house exhibit, using her bugs to help with the special effects. During the play, a large explosion went off outside the auditorium. A terrorist threat was revealed, placing hundreds of paper bombs throughout the Academy grounds, warning the teachers to not evacuate the grounds or call for help. As the teachers and ninja on the grounds began safely removing the paper bombs, it was learned of a large network of bombs outside the auditorium. Kawaki rushed to deal with it. A smoke bomb then filled the auditorium. When the attack passed, Hana was injured and rushed to the hospital.
