[atrb=style, font-family: bookmanantique; word-spacing: 1px; text-align: justify; background: #000000; border: 1px dashed #30307E; color: #8C8CB8] Name: Akari Kiyoushi Nickname: 'kari, Ri, birth name: Akane Inoue, previous names: Shizuko Kurosawa, Kiyoko Mizuhara Sex: Female. Birthdate: January 23 Age:: 19 Nationality: Japanese native, has spent significant amounts of time in Korea, China, and Taiwan, however. True Name: Ravage True Name Location: Ravage is written in neat letters across the front of her waist. They are clear, neat curly-type letters. Type: Mendax, "officially" a Sacrifice Affiliaton: Unaffiliated, likely to set her sights on TF Height: 5'0" Weight: 100 lbs. Hair: Akari has short purple hair, somewhere between her chin and ears, that she typically augments with extensions or covers with wigs, though she generally sticks to purple, for mystifying reasons. She enjoys styling her hair in a myriad of ways with the extensions, as well. Her hair does look kind of brownish under certain lights. Eyes: Akari has deep blue-violet eyes that are variously identified as either blue or purple depending on the light. Think Elizabeth Taylor. Outfit: Akari is commonly found looking like a sophisticated fancypants. She dresses like a fashion editor, high heels and interesting silhouettes, and looks like she's in her mid-twenties instead of the end of her teens. Of course, this is only in the public eye. On her own, or on something less legal than ordinary endeavours, she is often found in tank tops, jackets, and skinny jeans, plain sneakers, always black, always incongruously dull. She prefers the second half of her wardrobe. Ears: Pffff, nope. Sexual Orientation: Omnisexual Sapioromantic miiight be the best moniker for her expression of her sexuality. Or just "sexual".

[atrb=style, font-family: bookmanantique; word-spacing: 1px; text-align: justify; background: #000000; border: 1px dashed #30307E; color: #8C8CB8] Personality: Akari would describe herself as a simple girl. She enjoys the nature of physicality, especially breaking the complicated parts of nature to their plainest components - especially when it involves destroying someone. It's kind of fun to deconstruct someone's body in front of them as they're still alive, though she generally avoids this type of treatment. It's such a pain to make sure everything is cleaned up, after all, and simple girls like her have much better things to be doing than getting themselves onto the radars of the police. She lies about her simplicity, by the way. Or maybe she really is as simple as she says, and humans are just absurd creatures desparately trying to make something out of nothing, trying to prove there is more to their existence than functioning organs and needless organization. Akari presents herself according to the situation. People see what they want to see, and they want to believe that what is presented to them is correct. She generally prefers to present as a mature and collected young woman with a hefty dose of innocence, at least in daylight hours. Innocence attracts the manipulators, who believe they are immune to being used. She enjoys taking advantage of that line of thought process until she is through with them, at which point, she disposes of them in the most appropriate manner possible. She presents a different set of characteristics in her less legal dealings. There is an element of seductiveness that doesn't belong in someone wearing skinnies and a tank top, and an unnerving fearlessness checked only by an incredible attention to detail. Sociopaths always think they are smarter than others, but the kind of person who would dare to prey on that segment of society cannot simply believe that they are smarter - they must check and double-check and prove it without the proof ever being seen. It ensures a certain lack of braggart tendencies, and allows the complex to appear simple. It is rare the young lady deigns to see someone as her true equal - even rarer that she sees someone as her better. (The only person who has achieved the latter managed it by being her political idol and having been dead and still referenced for nigh on six centuries, and she hasn't actually found anyone she'd consider her equal who she actually likes). History: (For convenience and clarity of reading, it should be noted that while she is referred to as Akari throughout her history, this is not her birth name, and is in fact her fourth name. She was born Akane Inoue. Her first adoption, she was renamed as Shizuko Kurosawa, her second adoption, she was renamed as Kiyoko Mizuhara, and she recently renamed herself as Akari Kiyoushi). Akari was born with luck, though her beginnings seem anything but auspicious. Her parents were hookers and addicts, and she would have been prime to follow in their footsteps had they and their pimp not been accosted by authorities early into her toddler years. She was put into custody of the state, and at six, adopted by a rather interesting fellow. He taught her a lot - across multiple arenas, some less acceptable than others. He taught her how to throw a knife, for example, but also taught her how to kiss, even as he began teaching her the basics of Chinese. The state caught him when she was nine, and took her back into its custody. (For those interested, she managed to hang onto the knives by getting them inside a couple of her stuffed animals, and treasures them to this day). After another year as a ward of the state, where she "cried it all out" to assuage their belief she was damaged or whatever, she was adopted, for some reason, by a man and his wife who would spend most of her teenaged years traveling Asia. (She would have told the therapists that she didn't actually care, but Akari was a savvy enough girl to understand that her understanding of and interactions with the world would be considered abnormal at best and dangerous at worst). The next four years of her life, following adoption, were split between Korea, China, and Taiwan, with a few trips to America sprinkled in as well. She was home schooled by her incredibly demanding mother, and though she despised the woman for her controlling nature, Akari thrived with the intensely intellectual nature of what she learned. She was, recognizably, quite intelligent, and easily lived up to - and beyond - the nature of the academic expectations set for her. At fifteen, she was as fluid in her movements between countries as her adoptive parents, and finished with the curriculum high schoolers were expected to complete. The family took a sojourn to Japan to allow her to take various entrance exams for universities there, then sent her to the best they could afford, and her "parents" took off again. Freedom from their meddlesome attention was wonderful. Akari had dreamed of running away from them, but being able to have this situation instead (having all her expenses paid for with none of the downsides of actually living with them) was far better. She spent her days in university studying political science and psychology, or, to be more blunt, she spent them finessing the art of manipulating people, which she had already been an expert at. Her idol became Macchiavelli, the man who convinced her of the fallability of humanity. Early in her solo stay, she lost her ears in order to present herself as older, and discovered sex to be a weapon as powerful as the knives she had been smuggling with her for years. She had recognized there being a power to it, as a child, but as a young woman, it became incredibly obvious to her how to use it. Akari learned to terrify during her time there. She graduated, finishing, as always, early, at almost eighteen. Unlike her peers, she did not acquire a job in her field - not because of lack of interest, or lack of a likelihood of offers, but because she had spied a much more interesting future. People are always attracted to the dark, and Akari had always been closer than she should have been. Befriending a drug dealer sparked her entry into the fascinating world of crime, which she took to with a wild glee. (Some of her clients lasted longer than others, and no one ever really did figure out what happened to the ones that didn't last). Officially, the child who had gone to college with such a bright future was dead. She actually got papers forged to those ends, and left her adoptive parents to mourn. Ever observant, she noticed a word on her body beginning to form shortly after that. It grew more distinct every day, until it finally made sense. And then...she began to hunt.
