Haruhi Suzumiya (涼宮 ハルヒ, Suzumiya Haruhi) is the title character and heroine of Haruhi Suzumiya, a Japanese light novel series written by Nagaru Tanigawa. Despite the series being named after her, the main protagonist is Kyon, who narrates the story. She possesses unconscious god-like abilities to change, destroy, and reshape reality to her desires. In an interview, Tanigawa stated that the idea for the character came during a sleepless night at the beginning of the 21st century.[1] A beautiful, eccentric and headstrong schoolgirl, Haruhi is depicted as having a great disdain for anything that she views as normal or mundane, and is only interested in supernatural beings or mysterious occurrences.[2] Her displeasure with the school's "normal" after-school clubs leads her to gather up several students (Kyon, Yuki Nagato, Mikuru Asahina, and Itsuki Koizumi) and found her own: the SOS Brigade.[3] Many of the activities of the club and its members, however, become increasingly involved with incidents caused by her abilities.[4]
