[list][*][b][u]Name[/u]:[/b] Kawano Akane
[*][b][u]Age[/u]:[/b] 18
[*][b][u]Appearance[/u]:[/b] [url=https://safebooru.org//samples/3208/sample_d730496dfc2786d9d3ae101d427ab5d5124197c6.jpg?3336140]"Is she streaming right outside the bathroom...?"[/url] Akane stands at about 157 cm/5'2.
[*][b][u]Personality[/u]:[/b] Outgoing and confident, Kawano Akane has a tomboyish disposition with a mild interest in sports and a tendency to dress in more boyish clothing. A straightforward person whose personality is reflective of a common sense approach to reality, even in spite of the fact she is surrounded by the unreal. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why she is an ideal match for the cloudy-minded and unusual girl who happens to also be a giant skeleton. While there is no denying she cares about Shiroyama "Higasha"(could she have tried to pick a real name at least?!), she often finds the girl exceptionally exasperating to deal with. Still, she's never had a single thought of making her leave. Even before they formed a contract. Akane is often at odds with people who appear to display a lack of common sense, in spite of her contracted yokai being precisely one of those sorts of people, and isn't about to hesitate to express her feelings in such situations. The straightman, some would say. Still, Akane isn't without her quirks. She has a secret adoration of adorable things, one that embarrasses her deeply if it's ever pointed out.
[*][b][u]Abilities[/u]:[/b] Her contract with "Higasha"(why is it so bad?!) permits Akane several exceptional abilities even when they are not in Resonant form. Her physical abilities are greatly enhanced, allowing her to deliver powerful blows and move very rapidly. She has o actively turn this off in order to actually engage in normal physical activity. She is more durable then she would appear, though does not receive any specific healing abilities. When in their Resonant form, Higasha becomes a somewhat smaller, spectral version of her skeletal self, acting as an immensely powerful melee attack that follows Akane's movements. She can also fire Higasha's fists off at range to strike more distant targets.
Additionally, a Gashadokuro being "always hungry" translates to being able to eat a lot and never gain weight when contracted. Who knew?
[*][b][u]Skills[/u]:[/b] Akane is an agile and athletically capable girl even without the benefit of her contract. She's also more capable with technology then one might expect, having assisted "Higasha"(why?!) with her streaming setup. She's not sure this was a good idea.
[*][b][u]Equipment[/u]:[/b] Nothing out of the ordinary.
[*][b][u]History[/u]:[/b] Akane's life has been largely seemingly ordinary. She was born to a fairly normal family, the younger of two daughters. Her older sister, Hinako, was a friendly and good-natured person to whom Akane looked up to. As she grew older, she pursued the track club when she entered high school. Nothing particularly strange happened, though on one particular occasion she was forced to sit out due to a twisted ankle, deeply frustrating her on the day her entire family had shown up to watch. That was the last time she would see her elder sister, as well. After that, she seemed to vanish without a trace, and it was only recently that Akane discovered her elder sister had contracted a yokai and been doing some form of mysterious work. It was not long afterwards that she met a certain scantily-clad girl wandering in the cold during winter, and learned she was a gashadokuro.

Soon enough, they had formed their own contract, and Akane pursued a line of work she hoped could lead to finding out more about her disappeared sister. Perhaps she'd even find out just where she was.
