'''Harle''' (ツクヨミ, ''Tsukuyomi'') is a minor antagonist with ambiguous motives; while she strays closely towards redemption, circumstances and her own destiny will not allow it. Her speech is written with a French accent and is often interspersed with French words.

==Story==
Harle is the enigmatic seventh [[Dragon]], created in 1006 A.D. during the magnetic storm that temporarily brought down [[Chronopolis]]'s power. The [[Dragon God]], consumed by the [[Time Devourer]], was kept in check by Chronopolis; the power failure allowed it to create a life form that could go undetected and act as an agent in [[El Nido]]. When created, she bore the resemblance of an eighteen year old girl, dressed in vivacious clothing. From her inception, Harle was given an order to retrieve the [[Frozen Flame]] for the Dragon God; to this end, she befriended Lynx and played him for a fool. In 1015 A.D., she accompanied him to [[Lucca]]'s house, where they set fire and abducted Lucca in hopes of disengaging the [[Prometheus Circuit]]. When this effort failed, Harle and Lynx resigned to wait for [[Serge]] to cross the dimensions; in the meantime, Harle took up residence in [[Viper Manor]]'s parlor. In 1020 A.D., she met Serge for the first time, playfully teasing him and angering [[Kid]]. She soon after developed an admiration and romantic affection for Serge, though she hid it behind her flippant advances.


As her name suggests, Harle is a harlequin jester. Harle, in the beginning, appears primarily as a gadfly, taunting and distracting [[Serge]] and his party, and interfering with their plans, intermixed with flirtations directed at [[Serge]]. She wears full costume throughout the game, including a large horned hat and heavy facepaint. Her physical disguise and painted smile convey symbolically to the viewer that she is playing a role. She has some similarities and connections to the character [[Kid]].
After he adopted Lynx's body, she personally helped him exit the [[Temporal Vortex]] and regain his footing in the world, employing several philosophical questions concerning reality to make him ponder the recent turn of events. Harle soon became despondent, as any relationship with Serge would be precluded by her mission to retrieve the Frozen Flame. As time went on, this became too painful for her; after the party's visit to the [[Pearly Gates]], she cried aboard the [[S.S. Invincible]]. Though [[Starky]] pondered why she was sad, she soon left the party to lie in wait to seize the Frozen Flame. When at last Serge reached Chronopolis, she reappeared to hold off Kid from taking the Flame and allow the Dragon God enough time to fuse and claim it. As the Dragon God arrived, she bid Serge farewell and presumably disappeared into the newly reformed monstrosity.


Later, the Time Prophet reveals that she was really the "Dark Moon Dragon" created by the six Dragons under the cover of a storm that knocked out [[FATE]]'s motherboard system 18 years prior. From then on her mission was to spy on [[Lynx]] and find a way to release their seal--meaning that Harle was never aligned with [[Lynx]], and that she serves the [[Time Devourer]], but she was having second thoughts. By the time she found the [[Frozen Flame]] in [[Chronopolis]] she knew what would happen to both her and [[Serge]], so she attempted to guard it from [[Lynx]] and [[Kid]], but failed; her fate after the Dragon God's rebirth is not clearly revealed, although one of the endings reveal that she did not merge with the Dragon God, as the other dragons did.
Harle bears a strong resemblance to Kid in facial and physical features. She also shares the same fortune as given by the [[Fortune Teller]] of [[Termina]]. Many attribute this to the fact that if the Dragon God were to create a human being, the closest set of genetics would be [[Schala]] trapped within the Time Devourer. ''Kid and Harle could thus conceivably come from Schala's genotype.''


It is suspected by some that Harle is a dark reflection of [[Kid]]. They share vital stats, her facial structure seems almost identical to [[Kid]]'s beneath her heavy makeup, and when speaking to the psychic in [[Termina]], both characters receive the same fortune. It is revealed near the end of the game that [[Harle]] shares a link with the [[Time Devourer]], the mutated form of [[Schala]], [[Kid]]'s "mother". The nature of the link between the two characters remain speculatory, but the existence of this link was confirmed by series creator Masato Kato in the Ultimania Guide.

Harle (ツクヨミ, Tsukuyomi) is a mysterious harlequin aiding Lynx in Chrono Cross.

Story

Harle is the enigmatic seventh Dragon, created in 1006 A.D. during the magnetic storm that temporarily brought down Chronopolis's power. The Dragon God, consumed by the Time Devourer, was kept in check by Chronopolis; the power failure allowed it to create a life form that could go undetected and act as an agent in El Nido. When created, she bore the resemblance of an eighteen year old girl, dressed in vivacious clothing. From her inception, Harle was given an order to retrieve the Frozen Flame for the Dragon God; to this end, she befriended Lynx and played him for a fool. In 1015 A.D., she accompanied him to Lucca's house, where they set fire and abducted Lucca in hopes of disengaging the Prometheus Circuit. When this effort failed, Harle and Lynx resigned to wait for Serge to cross the dimensions; in the meantime, Harle took up residence in Viper Manor's parlor. In 1020 A.D., she met Serge for the first time, playfully teasing him and angering Kid. She soon after developed an admiration and romantic affection for Serge, though she hid it behind her flippant advances.

After he adopted Lynx's body, she personally helped him exit the Temporal Vortex and regain his footing in the world, employing several philosophical questions concerning reality to make him ponder the recent turn of events. Harle soon became despondent, as any relationship with Serge would be precluded by her mission to retrieve the Frozen Flame. As time went on, this became too painful for her; after the party's visit to the Pearly Gates, she cried aboard the S.S. Invincible. Though Starky pondered why she was sad, she soon left the party to lie in wait to seize the Frozen Flame. When at last Serge reached Chronopolis, she reappeared to hold off Kid from taking the Flame and allow the Dragon God enough time to fuse and claim it. As the Dragon God arrived, she bid Serge farewell and presumably disappeared into the newly reformed monstrosity.

Harle bears a strong resemblance to Kid in facial and physical features. She also shares the same fortune as given by the Fortune Teller of Termina. Many attribute this to the fact that if the Dragon God were to create a human being, the closest set of genetics would be Schala trapped within the Time Devourer. Kid and Harle could thus conceivably come from Schala's genotype.
