## Professional Status

### Nickname or Name

[Akane] (茜) is the manifested spirit of [Yuna Hakashima]'s Zanpakutō.

## Appearance

It's a zanpakuto that only resides inside Yuna. To make it appear Yuna needs to hurt herself and to make her blood flow whether it is in small quantity or not.

Akane takes on the appearance of a woman who is attractive to both men and women. She has many forms. She has crimson red hair, blood red eyes and some tattoo marks on her body. Her smell attracts people around it, no matter the gender. Supposedly Akane would be able to change her gender, but she has never shown it or tried.

She is 173 cm (5"8.11') tall and weighs 50 kg (110.23 lbs).

In Yuna's inner world, she is always present, and uses directly the form of zanpakuto in bankai without deploying the strength of bankai. Akane doesn't seem to mix with the reddish water that surrounds her daily, the substance would be unknown.

In the real world, Akane can take several forms, first by taking possession of Yuna's body. Possible only under certain circumstances.But if ejected by the owner Akane (in case of a soul injury or a division of the soul fragments), then becomes an independent sword that can materialize its swordsman form into human form thanks to the blood.

## Personality

First of all she is a pervert, nothing to do with Yuna. She spends her time being cruel with men and doesn't hesitate to flirt with women, she likes to shame people in general because she has an assumed superiority complex. Apart from that in battle Akane doesn't hesitate to be cruel, in her inner world she appears sometimes, and can talk to Yuna sometimes, she feels a protective feeling towards Yuna even though she is a part of Yuna's soul, she still has a separate identity. She doesn't like the heat, if she could she would dive into an ice bath. It is shown that she shows an interested side for Haineko, the zanpakuto of Rangiku. The particularity of Akane is that she is able to take control of Yuna's body in case of danger but avoids except to embarrass Yuna, when it happens, she loves to tease and do anything with Yuna's body. Besides she is not a very friendly person but deeply egoistic, although she shows a warm side towards some women who interest her. Although she hates men, she likes to use her charms no matter what kind, as long as she can see the despair and the pain in the eyes of others, it suits her.

## History

Akane is a young zanpakuto, Yuna being the first to handle and tame it. Their connection is very strong. She had a long time to appear because Yuna's powers were not awakened because of a spiritual pressure block. While the situation was not favorable for Yuna, she teaches her the handling of the sword and proposes to her to make a contract with her, that of drinking the blood of her enemies.

Having thus given no real difficulties to her mistress, for lack of motivation or laziness. Akane understands then that some things in the inner world are unusual and discovers some secret about her carrier that she will try to never reveal. For some reasons, this thing would have been sealed somewhere in the depths of the lands and the reddish lake and would be one of the reasons of the blocking of Yuna's powers.

After many events (to be determined), Akane witnesses Yuna's progression, as well as the consequences of the power of blood, the thirst mixed with the desire to kill. What sometimes pushed Yuna to an unexplained madness, this consequence is also the result of the differences between Yuna and Akane (light/shadow).

Akane broke once because of Yuna (to be determined)

## Relationships

**Yuna Hakahsima :** She loves Yuna very much although Akane leaves some kind of distance between Yuna and her, because her role is above all to protect her and to work with her as a weapon and shinigami, so she wishes to preserve this relationship.

**Haineko :** We can't call it crazy love, Haineko sure would have hidden feelings towards Akane, but this one is mostly interested in frivolous relationships

**Toshiro Hitsugaya :** In her small form she loves to tease Toshiro because he is the only one she can annoy. In her adult form she finds him ugly. Toshiro doesn't like Akane's way of doing things and has a hard time to consider her as a part of Yuna's soul.

## Triva

* Akane during the arc of the zanpakuto rejected muramasa like a shit, having been imprudent with her he tries to recover her by all the means. She really defeated Yuna during this period, and tried to help the shinigamis. (A.U)
* Toshiro meets Akane in Yuna's inner world
* Akane plays money games and causes a mess (to see)
* when she takes possession of yuna's body by accident she tries to bring yuna and toshiro closer by doing some bullshit
* she already had sexual relations with haineko (A.U)
* Later when the children are born Akane will be less present
* She likes to spend her time in the trees
* Akane is the perfect blend of Yuna's reincarnated differences and her father's powers, Makoto. This is what makes this zanpakuto unique.
