loved_by_ariesMeister Otome are scarily powerful women.
Seriously, they are. Otome were designed to replace armies, so a single meister otome is easily the equivalent of a nations entire military force in one small package. Some meister otome are more powerful than others. Haruka is one of the more powerful among the Otome, only rivaled by the Columns and a few select others. She seriously is a beast power-wise, so I'm going to copy the power section of her application here for anyone not familiar with the Mai Otome canon can read up on what Otome are.
Haruka is a Meister Otome bearing the Continental Orb Topaz GEM. Otome are women who have had their bodies infused with a special kind of nanomachines that allow the Otome to utilize highly materializing energy.. The nanomachines greatly enhance an Otome's strength, speed and resistance to damage. They also grant the Otome a low level of regeneration and the ability to materialize a robe. Otome were created to be replacements for armies, so the power of a single meister otome is equal to, if not greater, than a nation's military.
The robe and the unique powers granted by it is the real strength of an otome. The increased physicals, resistance and regeneration are always active, but the robe can only be activated if authorized by the otome's master. The robe acts as extremely strong armor, grants the otome flight and increases her speed and strength even more. It also has the ability to expand the ribbon-like pieces of the robes to great lengths, make them somewhat prehensile in that they can wrap around things. While materialized into her robe, the otome can focus her energy into defensive force fields/shields about her and form her element. The element is different for every otome and is her weapon of choice. It's through the use of the element that the otome's strongest attacks come from. The robe also sustains and stabilizes the otome in extreme conditions, even so far as allowing her to fly into space and survive as if she was a small space craft as seen in the My Otome Zwei OVA.
Haruka, as the Meister Otome of the Nation of Aries, has an extreme amount of strength while materialized. She is seen in canon catching a large military ship one-handed while saving a student with her other hand. Then she uses the single hand to throw the ship... into orbit around the planet. Her element is a large mace on an extendable chain with the other end being an axe-like weapon. She has an 'ultimate' attack called Dynamite Crusher where she throws her element with her full strength.
Otome are indeed very powerful, but there are controls on the technology. First of all, the specific type of nanomachines are incompatible with the Y chromosome, which is why otome are all female, and the nanomachines are vulnerable to the prostrate specific antigen (PSA) which renders an otome's body to develop an immunity to the nanomachines, removing her powers as one. Because of this, otome must swear off any sexual relations with men.
An important limitation to otome is the contract. Each GEM is really a pair – one of the otome and one for the otome's master – and it is through these GEM's that a contract between otome and master is formed. This contract links the pair's life force together so if one dies, so does the other. They share the pain of a battle and the otome can only materialize her robe under explicit authorization from the master. In extreme situations, an otome can form an interim contract with another to be able to use her robe if needed and her contracted master isn't present. Haruka's contracted master is Yukino Chrysant, the President of Aries. As Yukino is an appable character and not currently taken, Stacy can act as Haruka's interim master, granting her authorization to materialize her robes. This also means that Stacy can remove that authorization at any time and if Haruka hasn't received authorization before leaving the ship, she will be unable to materialize her robe. And sometimes she will forget to get authorization.
If there are any additional questions regarding Haruka's power level or the otome in general, feel free to ask them here. I don't want anyone to be caught by surprise at how tremendously powerful Haruka is.
