If that's how Haru really preferred to win, it would seem he ought to have been Yellow. Combined with his preferrence for First Person Shooters, perhaps Orange.
Yet he ends up with an avatar based around pure power in the form of linear speed. Flight gives him unlimited three-dimensional manuvering, but he must always attack directly, in a straight line, at maximum speed. It's very straightforward, very predictable, and very inflexible in terms of strategy.
Moreover, he ends up with a Metallic Color, which specialize by Damage Resistances rather than by abilities. There's no apparent reason why, since there's no identifiable criteria for why a person would qualify for a Metallic Color as opposed to a Chromatic one.
That is, as far as I can tell, Silver Crow could have easily been "Sky Blue" like Raker, or "Blue Green" like Ash Roller.
The novels also reveal that Haru's home has been virtually empty for more than two years, with his father abandoning him and his mother, and his mother "checking out" on Haru as an alchoholic.
It's bizarre that the psychological scarring of this home situation is ignored to focus purely on the scarring Haru recieved from his peers.

No scar is ignored here.
First, we have the ideia that all those things make Haru wnats to "run away", or in better stance, fly away from his life.
So, here we have two things the speed and the flight ability
Also, he suffer from bullying, with makes he want to be resistent to suffering
And then, we have the metal...
The only problemn here is that mettalic color is weak to close range...
A question here, someone knows the exact resistences and weakness form the metal color? And the excat connection to the color and the scar form haru?
