There is a hint of red within her straight hair coming from a dye of some sort. It goes well with her red scarf that she wears nearly always. It has become something of a symbol for her that makes her stand out from those with the normal Academy uniform. Akane has a young appearance overall and a rather lithe build. [h3]Height:[/h3] 5'2" [h3]Weight:[/h3] 104 Lbs. [h3]Likes:[/h3] Sweets, Literature, Nature, Animals, Music, Video Games, Light Sports, Being Competitive [h3]Dislikes:[/h3] Being Pressured, The Dark [h3]Party Trick:[/h3] Akane's memory is astonishing. She has the ability to recall images, sounds, and objects after only short exposure periods. [h3]Profession:[/h3] Student Part-time work at Tiny Snowflake Restaurant [h3]Bio/Personality:[/h3] Akane can be rather silent and shy at first, and has trouble keeping conversation going with new people, but once around a group of close friends, she can really open up and become a rather wild person. She is rather cold to those she first meets, but should someone be kind to her, Akane will give her best effort to make friends with them. Due to her constant reading, Akane has become quite the romantic, but her sheepishness has always prevented her from getting close to guys. Akane has always loved to joke, but she is often the type to keep it to herself, smiling while others don't understand why. Akane grew up in a small household outside of Shine city, cared for by her brother in a rather small flat. They had originally come from a rather rich family, but parental disputes led the two of them to leave home when they could take care of themselves. Akane tends not to talk about her past because of this, but she does have a rather large sum of money that she holds in a reserve account, should she or her brother ever need it. Schoolwork has always taken precedence over leisure. Perhaps that is the cause of her introversion. As her brother was working quite often to support them, Akane was without much family time. Akane spent her down time reading or simply taking walks in the park, leading to a rather dull and boring childhood. Akane's friends were limited, which allowed her to move to Shine City with little to no issues or cares in the world. Now, with her brother off working, Akane has her home to herself and little to do. She took her job at the restaurant mainly to allow her and her brother some more money for leisure activities, and the actual human interaction was more of a byproduct. Akane soon moved out, leaving her brother for Shine City Academy, though little has changed. Akane still tends to keep to herself and get rather good grades for her classes and she longs to be a social butterfly like all of her classmates.
