Akane Owari

Name: Akane Owari Gender: Female Age: 20 years old Height: 5'7" Weight: 123lbs Blood type: B Chest size: 93cm Birth date: July 15th

Appearance: Akane is a tall, young woman with an athletic, curvy physique. She has tanned skin, dark olive-gray eyes, and unkempt, shoulder-length chestnut hair that sticks out at various angles in wavy spikes. During high school, her eyes appeared lighter and brighter green, and her hair flowed down to her mid-back.

Akane wears a short-sleeved, white, buttoned, collared shirt with a chest pocket and the top few buttons undone, exposing a large amount of cleavage. The bottom button also appears undone, exposing her navel when she moves quickly. She also wears a red pleated miniskirt and cream-colored loafers with no socks. During high school, she continued to wear her red miniskirt and cream-colored loafers, but she also wore a white shirt, with long, cuffed, albeit rolled-up sleeves and no visible shirt pocket. She also had longer hair.

Background: Akane is the oldest of her siblings. As a child, she lived in an impoverished area where people were dying frequently. In the mornings, it wasn't that rare to find dead bodies. Because of this, she never bothered to make close friends or even learn any names (it's also possible that she developed her fear of ghosts because of this). Akane was regularly starving, so she values food more than anything. She learned to search for food, often from trash, constantly she had to fight for it with other people, and from anywhere else, such as nuts, bird eggs from trees, and small animals she managed to catch. She was also beaten up at times and was often chased by men and even a specific stray dog, though this stopped after Akane became stronger than her pursuers. Because her own home was so poor, she had a habit of resting in libraries during winters and summers because there was proper air conditioning, free water, and bathrooms, unlike in her home. Through all this, no one helped her, and she learned to rely on herself. She considered her hometown a crappy place full of crappy people.

Akane lived together with her several siblings and unemployed parents. She states that her "mom or dad would change" and that "there would be more siblings every time". Akane greatly loved her younger siblings, affectionately referring to them as the "li'l ones", and tried to make them happy whenever she could by doing things like fishing with them. She believed it was her responsibility to take care of them, so she spent most of her time working multiple part-time jobs. When she worked as a waitress, she sometimes stole leftovers for her family.

In Akane's dark life, sexual harassment was the norm for her. She was often chased by perverts, which made her skilled at parkour. Her stepmother's lovers groped her when they were drunk and told her to do "weird" jobs, like serve them food while not wearing any underwear.

When Akane worked as an actual waitress, there was an old gymnastics coach who used to come to the cafe all the time. The man groped her and kept telling her that she had a fantastic body. However, the man also suggested Akane join gymnastics. After being persuaded many times, Akane finally agreed. She started doing gymnastics for money, and thanks to this, Akane and her siblings were able to move out and live together in a new home.

As a teen, Akane previously attended Hikarimachi High School before being enrolled in Hope's Peak Academy as the Ultimate Gymnast in the 77th Class.

Personality: Akane is fiery, characterized by her love of fighting with only her fists and her body. She is always eager to challenge strong opponents, feeling excited and motivated by the prospect of countless influential people she has yet to fight. She deeply respects the physically strong, and losing to them only fuels her determination to win. In contrast, Akane shows little interest in fighting those she perceives as having low fighting power, whom she can tell just by glancing at them.

Akane's default instinct for solving problems is to punch things—even people. This is exemplified at the party in the old building, when impatient Akane asked the Imposter who she needed to beat up to get the party started. Whenever she gets bored, she asks someone for a fight, something she considers normal. While Akane also enjoys athletic activities such as climbing, parkouring, and running, she can be very lazy and unmotivated if she isn't allowed to do things her own way. She dislikes planning, training, and routines, but has a talent for inventing her own moves, and can be very moody.

Akane is also carefree, easygoing, aloof, and energetic. Being anywhere but the slums makes Akane happier than seeing dead bodies in her youth.

Akane is also impulsive, stubborn, and hot-headed, often acting without a care for the consequences, and frequently gets into trouble. Many of these reckless actions are, more often than not, well-intentioned, as Akane is very loyal and protective of her friends, usually showing it by acting as the group's muscle. Once she sets her mind on a specific goal, it is difficult for others to convince her otherwise.

Another defining trait of Akane is her bottomless love of food. Living in a constant "if you don't eat, you die" situation, she comes to value food above all else. Food provides a lot of comfort for Akane, as it distracts her from overthinking, regains her strength, and energizes her body, which is vital for her to feel alive. Whenever she sees someone looking down, she assumes they haven't been eating well as such condition applies to her. She becomes low-spirited very quickly when hungry.

Akane's harsh upbringing also leaves her emotionally constipated, and she is gullible, easily believing what people say. She despises worrying and hesitating, viewing them as signs of weakness she claims to have never experienced, as she hates being perceived as weak. She forces herself to appear strong, believing that true strength means never showing vulnerability, relying solely on herself, and never depending on anyone else. She's also forgetful of people's names.

Skills: Akane was born with a natural talent for gymnastics. Her body has grown, and so have her strength, agility, and endurance since she was a child. She often performed parkour nimbly at home, and her father, who noticed, convinced her to join tournaments and competitions. It turned out that she did very, very well and has kept winning many tournaments since then. Her only motivation to join tournaments was to earn money to provide for her family's everyday needs.

While often lacking intellect and not very good at understanding situations, Akane has a keen intuition and usually guesses accurately from her "gut feelings". She cannot explain or understand the reasons behind these feelings, yet she firmly believes in them.

Akane has a highly sensitive nose. She can smell blood, unpleasant scents, and delicious food long before the others. fiery, hot-headed, dimwit, gullible, serious, friendly, carefree,
