Haruta

Haruta is the commander of the 12th division of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Appearance
Haruta has a crop of short brown hair, blue eyes, and is fairly short. Haruta wears a green and white 16th century style outfit and carries a saber whose handguard resembles the puffy shoulder straps of her shirt.

22 years ago, she wore the same kind of outfit but had blond hair.

Abilities and Powers
As the commander of the 12th division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Haruta has authority over the lower-ranking subordinates. Haruta is presumably very strong: this statement was bolstered when Jinbei remarked that all of the Whitebeard commanders have great strength.

Weapons
Haruta wields a decorated saber with a purple hilt, and appears to prefer a fighting style based on agility and speed, rather than strength, as she was seen jumping around when performing attacks. One demonstration of her level of swordmanship is the fact that she is able to cut through steel.

Shiki's Visit
When Shiki dropped by Whitebeard's ship after escaping from Impel Down two years after Gol D. Roger's execution, Haruta was seen in the background behind Marco.

Marineford Arc
Haruta joined along with the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates during the assault on Marineford in order to save Ace, and was one of the commanders who backed up Luffy when he was attacked by Admiral Kizaru and later helped in the assault of the Plaza. Haruta was seen crying when Admiral Akainu killed Ace and later appeared along side the rest of the Whitebeard division commanders to fight Akainu. This battle was never shown, but Haruta is shown to be unharmed later on. Upon the arrival of Shanks and Sengoku calling the war to a close, Haruta and the rest of Whitebeard's crew left.

Post-War Arc
Haruta, along with the rest of the crew, attended the funeral of Whitebeard and Ace at an undisclosed location somewhere in the Grand Line.
