Kabetake Akane is extremely tall for her age, which makes others uncomfortable, much to her dismay. She has pale, brown eyes and long black hair, both inherited from her mother, while her height comes from her father. Healthily slim and fair-skinned, Akane is know to be very precise about cleaning her face, and it pays off well because she barely has a pimple in sight. Always smiling, even when she is feeling down, and her body is covered in bruises and band-aids from reckless behavior. Both of her ears are heavily pierced.

History:
The first daughter of a single mother, Akane was taught the hardships of life at a young age. Her mother, a single, hard-working woman, was constantly in and out of the house, leaving her two daughters alone with half-cooked meals and an almost empty apartment. As a result, Akane grew up taking care of Beni, her younger sister. The two grew up together (thankfully, they were only a year apart so they rarely fought), alone, and by the time Akane turned fifteen she was finally fed up with her flake a mother. She got plenty of part-jobs, saved money, and finally moved into an even smaller apartment with her sister and a small bag of belongings in tow.
Her high school life was ordinary, she had friends and enemies, even dated a few guys. Nothing out of the ordinary. Until, one day, when she was feeling rather distant and confused while waiting for her sister to come back from shopping, Akane simply took a safety pin and began poking holes in her ears. Beni came home to a bloodied sister, who was smiling wildly while trying on some of her old earrings.
"Look, look! They fit now! Aren't I cool?" She would ask constantly, to which Beni would reply with a brief nod and a worried glance.
To this day, Akane is still working many part time jobs, and is even more busy now that she is apart of the Karate club. Beni, who is now sixteen, has been coming home more and more to an empty home, but she doesn't mind. As long as her sister came home eventually everything was fine.
Personality:
Despite her heavily pierced ears and height, Akane appears to be a sweet, friendly girl, always wearing a wide smile while being surrounded by groups of people. While her nice, expressive face seems to be the pinnacle of teenage cheerfulness, Akane normally feels distant underneath the facade, and at times will feel rather alone and confused for no apparent reason. She has trouble discovering and speaking about her emotions, and often decides to rather listen then speak during conversations because she simply cannot get her point across.
Easily flustered and annoyed, Akane has trouble dealing with compliments and other people bugging her. She will snap at others if she is upset, and might even resort to psychical violence if she is especially agitated. Her stubbornness also stands out more when she is angry, and if she were to be challenged in this state Akane will definitely not stand down. In classes, though she tries to pay attention, she is rather... Stupid. Tests are often failed and she normally tries to copy homework answers from her friends. However, that does not stop her from being very interested in reading. She especially loves ghost stories and Occult books.
Akane is extremely motherly and loves to take care of others, but has trouble doing the same for herself. At times, Akane has forgotten to eat regularly, and is prone is illness and injury because she is so reckless. Extremely athletic, Akane spends most of her time with the Karate club, and can normally be found in the club room, practicing her stances or punches.
Very empathetic, Akane will at times burst into tears for no reason, especially if she is talking to someone who is upset or frustrated. This empathy is much more similar to mood swings, though, as she will at times just cry or become angry just out of no where, but she doesn't exactly... Feel these emotions. They just so happen to appear through her face and body movements, while on the inside she is still very much distant. This has happened when she is alone too, strangely.
Quirks:
Likes:
+ Cooking: While she isn't the best, Akane does enjoy cooking for other people, and has fun experimenting with dishes.
+ Karate: It keeps her fit and healthy, as well as teaches her how to defend herself.
+ Kabetake Beni: Akane adores her little sister, and will do anything for her, no matter what. The two share a very close bond and can often be found on weekends together, shopping or chit-chatting around town. They are only related by their mother, though, as they had two different 'fathers'.
+ Scary Anything: Akane loves to scare herself, and especially does so when reading or watching scary movies.
+ Spicy Things: Curry, candies, peppers, anything spicy is adored.
+ Books: Reading is one of Akane's favorite past times, and when she is feeling lonely or bored a book is never far behind.
Dislikes:
- Sweets: She cant handle sweet things, and absolutely hates having to bake or cook anything sweet as she views it as a hassle.
- Classes (Especially Math): Enough said. School isn't Akane's strong point.
- Being Alone: Akane has a complex of being alone, and becomes very depressed if she is left by herself for too long.
- Bugs: Growing up in such a crappy apartment, she often saw cockroaches and spiders crawling across the floor at night, and this eventually turned into a slight phobia.
- Talking to Others Deeply: Talking about feelings, crying in front of a friend, Akane simply cannot handle this. She has to be strong and protect others, and must not let it become the other way around.
- Kabetake Hirono: Beni and Akane's birth mother, a well known stripper and odd-job worker who is constantly looking out for her daughters, though Akane's doesn't realize it. This flake makes Alane writhe in fury whenever she is mentioned or seen.
