Akane Nanase

Akane Nanase (七瀬あかね Nanase Akane) was a second year at Inarizaki High. She was apart of the photography club.

She is now a professional photographer, who focuses mostly on landscape but will do sports and models as well.

## Appearance

Akane is a short young woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. She has freckles littering her nose. She has both of her ears pierced.

She wears a pack above her heart that connects to a machine clipped to her skirt.

She wears the standard female uniform, though opting to wear a grey cardigan instead of a blazer.

She attracts multiple boys' gazes but has never received a confession. She is often referred to as scary but she’s actually really kind when you get to know her.

## Personality

Akane can come off as cold at first, but once you get to know her she is actually quite friendly in her own way. She was diagnosed with a heart condition when she was nine years old and it has taken a toll on her, distancing herself from others as to not be a burden to them and she’s in the hospital most of the time so she never really made any friends. Her parents have always been over protective of her which kinda rubbed off on her and she acts like a mom towards people.

She’s a part of the photography club and can almost never be seen without a camera, being in the hospital a lot she could never really do much so she took to taking photos of the scenery outside her hospital window or in the garden.

## Background

When she was nine years old, she was diagnosed with a heart condition. Her biological parents not wanting to deal with the cost and trouble of having a sick child, they put her up for adoption. She was adopted several months later by a family who couldn't have kids, they immedialtly fell in love with Akane and didn't care about her heart condition. They have always been very protective of her but she dosen't mind as she knows they mean well.

Before she was diagnosed, she played multiple sports as her biological parents were very spotry people. She played a variety of sports such as baseball, basketball, swimming and of course volleyball. Her favirote sport however was gymnastics, she loved the way it made her feel. After being told she couldn't contuine playing sports as to not put stress on her heart, she was heartbroken. She spent multiple days deppresed over the fact her life was a mess but she soon found a new love in taking photos. She joined her school's photography club and fell in love even more, she continued it through middle school and then high school.

One day when she was in the club room, her heart stopped and she had a heart attack. Nobody was in the room at the time but thankfully the Miya brothers were walking by and heard a crash when she fell to the ground. They found her and got help, leading to her recovering. However it was a lot of stress on her body and she had to stay in the hospital for months. The twins came by sometimes to see how she was doing and soon she fell for Osamu.
