== Behavior/Personality ==
Before Transformation
Akiko was a very shy girl, keeping to herself. She would wake up, go to school, go to work, and then hide up in her room. With her fathers torment and her brother leaving, Akiko didn't have much to live for. She was down on her luck and nothing seemed to be able to make her smile. She felt weak; weak against her father and weak against her own depression. How was she suppose to help her home when she couldn't even save herself from her own life. That thought haunted her everyday and ended up changing her life forever.
After Transformation
With Akiko's increased strength, her courage and attitude grew as well. She was able to break out of the shell that seemed to be growing around her each year. She became her own person and found what she needed to survive.  She is still very much a loner due to the fact that she never had a real pack. Her maker or creater would come to her wanting to help but then leave her for days on end.  She just learned to rely on her and her wolf.
== Background ==
Before Transformation
Akiko’s life was filled with wrong turns everywhere.  At the age of 10, Akiko’s mother died from
breast cancer.  Without the money her
mother could not get the treatment that was needed to extract the cancer.  With the death of her mother, her father
became angry, abusive, and found no reason to continue with anything. Her
father stopped working, stopped loving anything, and stopped doing anything and
everything. To keep their two room apartment Akiko and her brother Takato had
to take on jobs to pay for the rent.  With
the stress of having a full time job and getting ready to go to college, Akiko’s
brother moved out when he turned 18.  He
promised Akiko that when he became more established her would come back for
her, make sure that she would never have to be with her father ever again. 
With her brother moving out, Akiko’s father had to get a
second shift job at a local warehouse. 
This meant that when Akiko got home from work she was home alone.  Her father was never physically abusive but
his words stung Akiko every day, he reminded her every day that she reminded
him of his wife.  That he was sick and
tired of looking at her day in and day out. Words like that made Akiko create a
shell around herself; she separated herself from everyone, even her brother.    
When Akiko turned 15, Akiko's brother came to get her. She packed her bags as her father was at work and left without a word. To this day, she has no idea what happened to her father and she doesn't care to know. Her brother had worked hard to get the apartment for the both of them, he worked from the bottom and kept working to get the top so that he could take care of his little sister.
Then her whole life changed... changed for the best when she met Kin... or so she thought.
After Transformation
The pain of Akiko’s first transformation was excruciating,
she thought that she was going to die. 
It felt like her skin was ripping off of her body.  And the way Kin trained her was by sending
two murders into her house to kill her brother. 
Not only was she traumatized by the change but then she had to murder
and eats the bodies of the two men that she killed in her own house.  At first she thought that the way Kin would
train her was supportive but it turned into a poisonous relationship.  She turned out to be just a replacement for
his lost sister, and she never really grew to understand what and who she was.
She was a lone wolf, someone without a pack. 
She was his first fledgling and to this day she feels like she failed
him, like she was a screw up in his book. She heard through the grape vine that her was making other Lycans, made her feel like she was some throw away wolf that couldn't stand to his vision of what a fledgling should be.
While feeling like a total outcast, Akiko became close friends with a boy at her school. His name was Akira Tetsu, he was not like any other boy at her school. As they continued working together on projects and assignments, Akiko became quite attracted to him but the most scary part was that her wolf too was enthralled by him. That fact both excited and scared Akiko, she wanted to just jump into things but something seemed to hold her back. The Tetsu family was a family that she always dreamed of having, she looked at them and wished she had something like that. If she could have she would have stayed with them forever. But that was not in the cards for Akiko. 
What destroyed Akiko as a person was the passing of her
brother, Akiko failed him.  A Hunter had come to town to make sure that every Oni suffered. She was on his list, on his list because he could hurt Kin in the process. Her, Akira, Kin, and a fellow hunted Oni went after The Hunter but no mater what they did The Hunter was too much for them. He went into hiding but tempted Akiko any moment he could with the fact that he had her brother. His presence died down as things in the city got worse but every night Akiko would go out and try to track the hunter. After a month of hunting for the very person that hunted her, she came across one of his safe houses. What she found inside shattered her whole world. Her brothers body shriveled up in the corner of a cell. Running into the cage, Akiko held her brothers lifeless body, close to her beating heart. The sound of her wolfs howl echoed throughout her body, her veins began to boil and bubble as Akiko curled up inside of her own head. That was the time that the wolf completely took over. Akiko's skin tore from her body and underneath was pitch black fur, her body shifted and twisted into something horrifying. Akiko was gone and what stood in her place was a gigantic dire wolf. Akiko's wolf cared for her brother just as much as Akiko, the wolf raced through the safe house to find The Hunter. Their battle lasted hours and there never seemed to be a winner, The Hunter had the upper hand at time but seconds later The Wolf would have the upper hand. What finally ended the battle was a slip up of The Hunter, Akiko's wolf was finally able to get her large jaws around his throat and ripe it out entirely. The wolf stood there for several minutes watching as his blood pooled all around his lifeless body. The wolf spent days in the cell with Akiko's brother, waiting for Akiko to rise up and take control again but she was too destroyed.
100 Years later
Not knowing what to do, the wolf did what she thought was right. She headed to the nearest forest, there the wolf waited and lived. It took Akiko 50 years to finally take back the control of her form. 50 years seemed to pass by like a blink of an eye, but to her surprise Akiko came out of the shift looking exactly like she did 50 years ago. And she had missed so much, but Akiko still couldn't go back to the real world, it wasn't her time yet.
Staying in the woods was not an option for Akiko, she really needed to find something to do with her life, she needed to get over the death of her brother. Venturing out in the world, she made her way to 2nd Soul, feeling as if she was drawn to the place. Once she was there she decided she needed to do more with her life. She went and studied Biology at a local college, it took her 4 years but she left that college with a degree in wildlife biology. She used her degree to get a job with Aokigahara Forest researchers. She was able to save up enough money to purchase a small one bedroom, one bath cottage located within the woods. She kept to herself mostly but she felt comfortable in the woods, something about the air made her feel alive. 
Waking up each morning Akiko knew that things were changing, and she knew that something was coming, she could smell it in the air.

== Wolfblood Physiology ==
Wolfblood... Aka Beastblood, User with this ability either is or can mimic/transform into canines,
 including wolves, foxes, jackals, coyotes, and domestic dogs. The user 
is a werebeast, a being with the power to transform into an animal form 
or a humanoid animal-like creature, either purposely or after being 
placed under a curse and/or therianthropic affliction via a bite or 
scratch from a werebeast, or some other means. This transformation is 
often associated with the appearance of the full moon. They are 
technically Oni's and get categorized with them quite often.
* Enhanced Bite
* Enhanced Durability
* Enhanced Endurance
* Poison Immunity
* Night Vision
* Predator Instinct
* Lycanthropic Infection
* Regenerative Healing Factor
* Enhanced Agility
* Enhanced Reflexes
* Enhanced Jump
* Temperature Regulation
User with this ability is a werewolf
 with the ability to transform into a wolf or an anthropomorphic 
wolf-like creature, either purposely or after being placed under a curse
 and/or lycanthropic affliction via a bite or scratch from a werewolf, 
or some other means. This transformation is often associated with the 
appearance of the full moon. The user gains the traits of werewolves, 
most obvious being ability to change into a wolf with the natural 
characteristics inherent to both wolves and humans, including senses, 
stamina , etc. In addition werewolves are often attributed strength and 
speed far beyond those of wolves or men and may have them in lesser 
amount even untransformed form. Other than this, details vary 
considerably: some are limited to single form which ranges from 
completely animal to man-wolf (humanoid with fur, claws and fangs); some
 can shift between human, wolf-man (humanoid wolf) and pure wolf; while 
others are able to choose to what extend they want to change and what 
parts. Their wolf-form may be completely natural wolf in form, something
 resembling Dire Wolf or even something directly from the darkest 
dredges of human fear for wolves. Although some wolfen instinct is 
likely influence werewolf in transformed state, this varies from 
completely animal mind to perfectly aware human, even to the 
stereotypical monster lusting for blood. Although it is very commonly 
linked to werewolves, they aren't all vulnerable to silver or other 
traditional weaknesses. For some these are no more or less harmful than 
any other metal or substance, some are essentially un-killable for anything else.
== Form ==
Human
Akiko's human form, this is when her wolf is calm or Akiko is in no form of trouble. Akiko's wolf still lingers deep down but it is below the surface. In her human form she still has above average strength but with each step up in her forms her strength increases.

Half-wolf 
At this stage Akiko's eyes glow a deep crimson red, her teeth elongate to piercing sharp points, and her nails grow twice their size. But those are not the only changes she endures; she becomes stronger, faster, and she heals at an accelerated pace. Akiko's wolf is guiding her, showing her how to protect herself.

Lycan
At her Lycan stage, Akiko's skin is covered in black fur, her ears come to a point, and her face takes on the form of a wolf. At this stage, Akiko and her wolf are equals, working together side by side to overcome whatever is harming them both. With Akiko's wolf emerging more, Akiko's strength is quite frightening and her feral behavior allows her to slow things down to analyze them.

Dire Wolf
At this stage Akiko's wolf is in full control and Akiko is in the background.  Akiko's wolf only takes full control when there is no possible way that Akiko will win a fight. There has only been one time that Akiko had to take the bench and that was when her brother was murdered. Akiko thought that she would never turn back to her human form, it took her 35 years to find the strength to turn back into her human form.
