Himegami Akiko

**Himegami Akiko** *(姫神あきこ Himegami Akiko)* is a magician of the Amakusa-Style Remix of Church, and a proficient user of the Amakusa-Style Combat Tactics and Magic Theories, she is noted to be one of the more versatile and powerful users of the art and is easily the most competent magician in the church. She is stationed in Academy City to act as a representative for the Amakusa Church in CERBERUS, the provided protector for Kihara Eiichiro, and is the bridge that connects the two organizations together after the events regarding Nicole Sion Eltnam. She is the second person to join Kihara Eiichiro.

She became a part of CERBERUS after Nicole Sion Eltnam decided to invade the Amakusa Church to obtain documents and grimoire manuscripts that they stole from her due to the mayhem that she could cause with the specified spells inside it.

## Personality

Akiko is modest and humble, she often puts herself down when everyone knows that's not true. She believes that she can't compete with the other gorgeous members at CERBERUS or the Amakusa Church, referring to herself as plain and ordinary. She is also generally very friendly and warm, she gives an air of serenity and joy whenever she's around. Even to the point that Sayaka, who is by far the most perverted and the complete opposite to Akiko, tone down her perverted behavior around her. She is skilled in housework and cooking, the latter being taught by her mother and also as a part of her Amakusa Training in creating spells with mundane objects.

She seems to have developed romantic feelings towards Eiichiro, but due to her shyness she has not been able to act on them or convey them to him. Akiko is not prone to violent outbursts when upset and is more inclined to proper, softer lady-like responses regardless of the situation she is in. She also has been described as someone who matures too late. Her pursuit of her love interest is very innocent and slow, a fact that is mentioned by one of her comrades. She easily gets flustered by direct contact such as holding hands or being hugged while she drives a motorcycle. She also easily gets taken away by her emotions, becoming depressed when she is unable to help Eiichiro due to her severe injuries, to the point that it took a slap from Sayaka to bring her back to senses, and later became very enthused in proving to the other girls her worth, scaring Azusa and Akuto (who was taking care of her at the time) in the process. In a mission she becomes serious, and as a member of the Amakusa Church where teamwork is key, she becomes a very reliable ally.

Furthermore, as an apparent attribute of magicians, she is very weak with machines as shown when she stays in Academy City and is completely oblivious to the majority of the machines that they use which she complains about. This tends to lead into comical situations where she accidentally breaks machines or they start shaking and exploding after using it without proper supervision or judgement. In another opportunity she displays tender tears of happiness when the washing machine finally works perfectly as instructed, even going as far as hugging the object.

## Appearance

Akiko is a slim young woman in her mid teens, happening to be a beautiful girl with thigh-length, golden brown hair tied into a ponytail with her signature black and white ribbon and emerald green eyes. She bears a voluptuous and well-endowed figure which is sometimes comically referred to by her friends at the Amakusa Church. She wears the traditional attire of a miko that is a red hakama, a white haori with a sash-like belt, wooden sandals and a white ribbon to partially hold her hair in place. Akiko is often seen with a gentle smile on her face, she doesn't get angry too often. However when she does, her expression is described as extremely demonic look and gives of the feeling of someone she is going to kill.

### Amakusa-Style Combat

Being an Amakusa Church Member, she specializes in secrecy, deception, and stealth. She does not use ordinary methods of magic, such as through plain magic circles or chanting. She hides rituals behind the mundane, such as greetings, diet, and behavior, and hiding their magical items behind ordinary objects, such as kitchen utensils, underwear, paper, etc. The intricacies of using *codes* and *logos* through the ordinary, originating from several abandoned religious rituals, choreographed repeatedly, showed her mastery of Idol Theory, and as a consequence making her unpredictable. Moreover, due to the teachings of Shintoism, where it is taught that gods reside in everything and any object can become a magical tool, she often uses the idea by creating spells out of the objects at hand.

Akiko is a proficient magic user of the Amakusa Church Style, being able to hide layers upon layers of spells from other magical formats and use them in conjunction with one another. People in the Amakusa Church describing her as a *"Jack-of-all-Trades and Master-of-None"*, as she is very capable of utilizing magic while deceiving her enemies.

*Example: Akiko is able to use Norse Mythology and Shinto Mythology at the same time but able to diguise it Voodoo Magic.*

 As being part of Amakusa, all of what Akiko wears is part of her magic and is deliberate. The Amakusa Christian’s specialty is secrecy, since they’re Christians whose nature is to deceive others; they hide the teachings of Christianity inside Shintoism and Buddhism completely, and use rituals and techniques as part of their greetings, diet, and behavior in their everyday lives. They cover all their tracks so that others won’t even notice their existence. These teachings have been passed down from generation to generation.

Like all the Amakusa Christians, she carries a weapon. She wields a two-meter-long nodachi that originated from her grandfather, and is used for various very powerful spells. It is her primary weapon since she is an Amakusa-Church member, which use Magic primary with their favorite weapon. Her nodachi carries the three blessings of her family that have been inscribed on it through generations upon generations of doing the same mundane routines that the Amakusa Church is known for. It is also capable of intercepting the data from different spiritual items and read it in order to acquire data on the spiritual items' specifications and abilities. After obtaining this data, it can replicate the form and powers of those spiritual items, changing shape in an organic-looking fashion like a tree growing on fast forward.

Even when not in combat, as an Amakusa Christians she trains herself, having a designated method to cook her designated food, else her reactions will retard. Like the rest of the Amakusa Church Members, Akiko uses all sorts of religious rituals in her everyday life, including: sleeping, bathing, and walking. Since the situation is different, she can only eat a limited number of things.
