The unique characteristic of the 5th mode of the harmonic minor scale is the raised 7th degree compared to the natural minor scale, creating a distinctive sound known as the "Phrygian Dominant" scale.
I'm not sure if this is the answer your looking for, but by playing a scale, starting on the sixth degree in a major scale (also called aeolian mode), you will essentially be playing a natural minor scale. Specifically, the relative minor.
Technically, the Ionian mode would be considered the major scale, as it is based off of the tonic note. However, it can be minor too.
The Dorian mode has a raised sixth note compared to the natural minor scale, giving it a brighter sound. The Aeolian mode is the natural minor scale, with a lowered third, sixth, and seventh note, creating a more melancholic feel.
That would be called an A minor "Gypsy Scale" (although the term "Gypsy Scale" is often applied to several different scales found in Gypsy music). It is a synthetic mode created by raising the fourth degree of the natural minor scale. It is quite likely that the seventh degree will be raised at times, also, which turns it into a minor mode of the double harmonic major scale.
The minor scale mode is related to its corresponding major scale because they share the same key signature. The minor scale starts on the sixth note of the major scale, creating a different sound and mood while still using the same notes.
