Physical Description: Akira is thin and wiry for a nine-year-old, and a bit tall for her age. Despite this, she slouches as she walks. Her nose has a slight hook, her skin is icy pale, her blue eyebrows apparently set into a permanently indifferent slant. Her eyes are long-lashed and tilted up at the edges, like a cat’s, and she usually keeps them half-closed, giving the impression she is half-asleep. Her waist is worryingly slim, and her arms seem to have little potential for muscle. Her hands have the slender, nail-bitten fingers of a musician, although one is hard-pressed to view them, since they’re usually shoved into the pockets of her jacket. Her lips are chapped and thin. In general, Akira gives off the aura of universal indifference.
Clothing: Akira’s apathetic atmosphere extends to her clothing. She constantly wears a baggy, beat-up, hooded navy jacket made of a soft material (hood up). Underneath she wears a long-sleeved fishnet shirt under a black tank top. Her shorts are charcoal grey, while her sandals are navy, and her calves are wrapped in bandages. Her ears are pierced, usually she wears silver studs, although occasionally she is made to switch them for more formal events. Although her clothing is certainly well-worn (mostly hand-me-downs), upon closer examination it is clean, though far from neat.
Background: Akira was found abandoned at the age of three in a village on the Land of Rice Field’s western border. The village had been taken over by Konoha ninja; her parents nowhere to be found. Perhaps they were killed, perhaps they fled without her – they are nowhere to be found, so she’ll never know. She was found by one Takakuro Chouko, a ninja from the Village Hidden in Sound, who, upon finding the strange, blue-haired child, decided to take it as her own, and turned her back on the life of a ninja forever…she thought.
Chouko bought a rice patty on the outskirts of Otogakure and settled there peacefully, attempting to raise her protégée. Hints of her old life persisted – she still had all of her weapons, which fascinated Akira, and her headband, which she kept locked in a chest. Noisier clues also endured – ninja would also come and argue with Akira’s Keibo, before leaving in a huff. They always left Keibo looking tired and pale, and she never wanted to talk after they left. These were some of Chouko’s old comrades, who were attempting to convince her to rejoin the ranks of shinobi. The profession of a ninja, however, is dangerous and time-consuming, and Chouko worried about the child’s welfare should she be sent away from the village – or killed.
Though she tried hard, Chouko could not escape notice. Even her old enemies came back to haunt her. Recently, they attacked, and though Chouko warded them off easily, they affected Akira most of all. She saw, from her hiding place (her Keibo had prepared for such an eventuality), how skilled her stepmother was, and decided, right there and then, to become a ninja and become “just like Keibo”.
Personality: Akira’s attitude matches her exterior. She adopts a “been-there, done-that” manner, and pretends that not much fazes her. She acts tough, and doesn’t make friends all that easily. In fact, she annoys most people with her know-it-all attitude, which of course makes her act even tougher to conceal how hurt she is. She is much more comfortable around books – they teach you something, and don’t complain.
Akira is fascinated with weapons of all shapes and sizes – their balance, their lines, how to care for them. In fact, it seems to be the only thing she never gets bored with. She can occasionally be found in the Otogakure Weapon Shop, bothering the shopkeeper with questions about this knife, or that sword, or the haft of this axe, or techniques on how to sharpen this or that or the other one.
Other: Akira hasn’t the faintest idea of her heritage.
