Personality || Akeno is naïve, affectionate, cheerful and somewhat stupid. Her version of hello is to hug someone for at least five seconds before saying what she wants. Akeno doesn't speak but that doesn't make her form of talking any less animated. She uses sign language to communicate more often than not and does her best to try and educate people on sign language so they can understand her. Akeno doesn't understand how the world works given how she's been home schooled for most of her life and often gets taken advantage by people because of her kind nature. However, Akeno does understand enough about things book wise to be very smart in her classes and is often among the top grade wise.

Hugs || It's no secret that Akeno is a very affectionate young lady and often greets people by hugging them. However, she'll find just about any reason to hug someone. Everyone deserves a little affection.

Dislikes:
Being Mute || There are a lot of days where Akeno wishes she could turn back time to regain the ability to speak. She handles the trauma well enough but she does miss being able to talk.
The Wind || One day when she was 6, Akeno flew up in the air by the wind due to it being very strong and was almost blown away from her parents. Ever since then, she has a strong fear of the wind and hides on windy days.
Sharp Objects || Akeno is always scared of hurting herself on sharp objects so she tries to avoid them at all costs. This can result in her avoiding reasonable things like knives or dumb things like table corners.
History || Akeno has two different lives. There was a life before she was mute and there's the life she leads now. Before Akeno was mute, she was a singer. Her parents were proud of her singing abilities and while they still home schooled her at the time, they let her attend singing classes. She was perfecting her craft as a singer and made a lot of people happy as a result. Akeno was happy to sing as well and wanted to continue to sing for as long as she lived. And then, a truth came out after a performance when she was 16. As it turns out, the man she thought was her father wasn't her real father. Her mother had two male friends and she kept on seeing her father's best friend while being married to her father. Her father thought he was Akeno's father for years and her mother eventually told him that his best friend was the real father. Her father couldn't take the information and tried to kill Akeno via strangulation. When that didn't work, he tried to hit her over the head with a lamp. Luckily, her real father stopped him from killing her but there was a minor trauma to the Broca's area of the brain. It's unknown if she can speak coherently again let alone sing but for now, Akeno chooses to be mute to be safe. Her mother and her real father married two years later and while Akeno misses being able to speak, she's moved forward for the most part and will live her life with or without speaking. It was just two years ago that she decided to attend Partisan Rose Academy and decided to major in human resources. She isn't too sure as to where to work but she's enjoying her classes and friends for now so she's not too concerned.
