| “ | Tell me, Lloyd. How many times has Ninjago almost fallen on your watch? How many times have you ninja failed, and let others pay the price. Heh, you're not our protectors. You're just a bunch of little kids playing dress-up. Ninjago is my home too. And with your father by my side, we can return it to glory. Give it the leader it truly deserves. | „ |
| ~ Harumi taunting Lloyd Garmadon. |
Harumi, also known as The Quiet One, is a major antagonist in LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, serving as a major antagonist in The Oni Trilogy. She is the founder and leader, later second-in-command, of the Sons of Garmadon.
Although she at first appears to be a new major character and a potential love interest to Lloyd, she, in fact, wants to resurrect Lord Garmadon without any of his positive characteristics because she believes he is the ruler Ninjago deserves.
She was voiced by Britt McKillip, who also voices Princess Cadence in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Roles
She serves as the main antagonist of Season 8: Sons of Garmadon, and as one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Heavy Metal) of Season 9: Hunted. She is also a posthumous antagonist in Season 10: March of the Oni, Season 11: Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu, and Season 13: Master of the Mountain; as well as as a minor antagonist in Season 12: Prime Empire (albeit as a game avatar).
History
As a child, Harumi lived in Ninjago City with her mother and father and looked up to the Ninja as heroes. However, when the Great Devourer came and destroyed the city, Harumi's parents were killed by the beast, and Harumi became disillusioned with the Ninja for being unable to stop it.
Harumi especially hated Lloyd Garmadon, son of Lord Garmodon, for releasing the Serpentine from their tombs that allowed the Great Devourer to be unleashed in the first place, but came to idolize Lord Garmadon himself for his role in killing the enormous snake and saving Ninjago.
After the trauma of losing her parents, Harumi was temporarily rendered mute, and the rescue team tasked with saving her called her the "Quiet One" because of her catatonic shock. After recovering, Harumi was adopted by the Emperor and Empress of Ninjago, but did not enjoy her new role as princess and carried within her a deep loathing throughout the rest of her childhood and teenage years. She even became more disappointed that Lloyd has purified Lord Garmadon of his evil by defeating the Overlord, and that Garmadon would later sacrifice himself to stop Master Chen and his army.
As time goes by, Harumi began an organization called the Sons of Garmadon, whose goal was to resurrect Garmadon's evil self using the three Oni Masks scattered throughout Ninjago, having become aware that Garmadon was part Oni and would, therefore, be capable of being reborn through a ritual involving them.
Harumi carried this secret with her for an undetermined amount of time, but eventually earned the ire of her caretaker, Hutchins, who warned the Ninja upon their first encounter to stay away from her.
Season 8: Sons of Garmadon
The Ninja first encounter Harumi in Ninjago's Palace, where Lloyd attempts to save her from a presumed attack (which was actually just some fireworks going off). Harumi formally greets each of the Ninja, even earning the praise of Nya, who was initially irritated with her. After an inquiry by Jay, Harumi and the royal family reveal that she was adopted by them after her birth parents had died. Lloyd later accidentally stumbles upon her removing her makeup in her private quarters.
After witnessing her escaping the palace while carrying a satchel, Lloyd mistakes her for a kidnapper, although he eventually realizes his mistake. Harumi and Lloyd then have an intimate conversation, and witness Samurai X saving a group of homeless children from an attack by the Sons of Garmadon, with Lloyd grateful that the Ninja is not the only ones looking out for Ninjago. Harumi claims that she likes to sneak out at night to give food to the less fortunate, but Harumi's caretaker, Mr. Hutchins, appears and takes Harumi and Lloyd back to the palace. The next day, the palace is attacked by the Sons of Garmadon, and Harumi and Lloyd escape the palace with the Mask of Deception. They are then attacked by Ultra Violet, who steals the Mask of Deception before Lloyd and Harumi escape onto the Destiny's Bounty.

Trivia
- Harumi is the first human female to be the main antagonist of a Ninjago season.
- Although the most prominent appearance she uses in the series is her civilian outfit, it never appears in the LEGO sets as a minifigure.
- Harumi is the second major character in Ninjago to have been introduced as a heroic character before their deception is revealed, the first being Krux. However, Harumi is far more important in the season she appears in than Dr. Saunders was, and is the only villain to actually be treated as a major ally to the ninja before her betrayal is unmasked (Dr. Saunders was primarily a traitor for Kai and Nya's parents).
- The names of the three Oni Masks correspond to the three stages of Princess Harumi's plan (Hatred, Deception, and Vengeance).
- Harumi is Britt McKillip's first purely villainous role (although she had played Queen Chrysalis in her Princess Cadence guise before, that Cadence turned out to be an imposter).
- Harumi idolized Garmadon ever since he destroyed the Devourer, but specifically only Lord Garmadon. As seen in Garmadon Rulez!," she considered Sensei Garmadon a shadow of his former self and was disappointed by him "giving up on his dreams."
