## Name Etymology

Akemi translates to "Bright, beauty; Bright sea." as her eyes resembled the sea. and her last name Warugaki translates to "Brat.".

## Personality

As a young girl, Akemi appeared to be quiet and timid due to the abuse she endured from her father. She later developed a light-hearted demeanor that belied how ruthless she could be. She had a witty, sarcastic sense of humor that she used to tease and flirt with others. As she played in the Prisoners Dilemma, however, she became increasingly desperate and dropped her passionate persona, to the point to where she couldn't manifest her escape due to the immense pressure.

## Talent & Abilities

### Ultimate Manifestor:

Akemi began her manifesting life when she finally reached out for help from her Fathers abuse, her awkward self didn't know how to talk to anyone for help so she did it herself, she read through hundreds on books on how to master meditation, eventually she would learn a few small techniques of manifesting, vision boards... positive affirmations... etc. Akemi surprisingly mastered the arts of manifesting, to the point where she could manifest things with her words, we see this when she says "I just want my Father dead..." and soon enough this became true, but only with powerful emotion and meditation does such thing become true, she cannot just outright say random things and it will happen. She would often accidentally manifest things without the intent to do so.

On the side Akemi learned to use occult objects, like Astral Perception, she was able to use spirit boards to contact who she wanted, it was assumed she manifested the ghosts to appear. Akemi made a fortune using her skill, she would be hired to manifest great succession for her clients, we know this because during Tragedy Across the Seas she would tell Kurokami "I manifest unique items for a select clientele, something you wish to achieve.".

Before entering the Prisoners Dilemma, and eventually her death she would tell Alejolanz "We're all going to hell Alejandro, might as well enjoy our time." unfortunately not realising that she had manifested her doom.

### Abilities:

* **Spirit board:** Akemi had some skills in contacting the dead and use them as an information source, was not shown in Tragedy Across the Seas due to no spirit boards on ship.
* **Law of attraction:** Akemis ultimate, used as a successful job before Tragedy Across the Seas acquiring objects and wishes for her clients through LOA.
* **Accumulator of occult objects:** Akemi would accumulate occult objects to aid her in her manifesting techniques, most being procured crystals.

## History

Akemi never grew up struggling financially, her parents were middle-class workers so she never had to worry about things, however she found herself different from other children when she was young, she was deemed weird by others for being so quiet, we later find out that was due to the abuse she endured by her father. Akemi found this anger inside of her and channeled it into a meditative state, where she could finally release that anger that was in her for her childhood years. She learned how to manifest and she later developed a light-hearted demeanor that belied how ruthless she could be with her ability. She had a witty, sarcastic sense of humor that she used to tease and flirt with others.

Later down the line, she met Akari Tereru, who she saw herself in, she protected Akari from bullies and taught her how to stick up for herself. Even secretly manifesting that Akari's bullies will suffer without Akari knowing she did it. Akemi would join Hopes Peak in class 82, where she would meet two of her "friends", Kurokami and Fumiko Gin, during Tragedy Across the Seas before she would tell Akari that she would not fret to hurt them if meant achieving her goals, but she would feel somewhat guilty.

## Relationships

### Akari Tereru:

Akemi and Akari met before Tragedy Across the Seas, Akemi saw that Akari was being bullied and defended her against them, doing this made Akari like Akemi and would befriend her, Akemi didn't really see any use in this until she saw the talent that Akari held, the Ultimate Collector, Akari would steal things and gift them to Akemi, which caused Akemi to respect her. Their relationship grew within Hopes Peak Academy with the two being best friends, Akemi was called up to go on a trip to the new Future Foundation, Akari saw this and used her stolen savings to attend the trip too.

### Kurokami:

Despite being close together during their school years, Akemi always thought it was weird that Kurokami didn't know anything about himself, she even attempted to dig up something on him, but **nothing** came about, she pushed the thought of him being something he wasn't to the back of her mind and assumed he was telling the truth about his memory loss.

### Fumiko Gin:

Fumiko and Akemi had a strange relationship prior to Tragedy Across the Seas, Akemi was still struggling with the mental effects her father put on her and was found by Fumiko crying one time, this was strange to Fumiko as nobody had ever seen Akemi cry before, as she always upheld this strong-willed aura, when Fumiko found Akemi she offered her help, Akemi saw something in Fumiko, her care for other students, as it was her ultimate talent, Akemi realised why this was her ultimate and warmed up to Fumiko, she told Fumiko what happened in her past, and how she had to take away her fathers life to protect her own, only Fumiko knows this, (until Tragedy Across the Seas, when Alejandro finds out through her FTEs) and Fumiko swore to never tell anyone, Akemi strangely trusted her.
