Akari Mikoto

## Character Bio

### Secret Heart's Desire

I wanted to be an astronomer. I really like staring at the sky, wondering if there'd be other life out there.

### My "Magic" Touch

I have this skill where I can make myself or my skin glow. It's useful when I read in the dark. No need to consume electricity on the bedside lamp.

### Storybook Romance Status

I'm not interested in *that* kind of stuff.

### Oh "Curses!" Moments

Oh, well. I'll never regret the fact that I called Heishi my pops uncle. After all, it is true in terms of our parentage.

### Favourite Subject

I love Epics 101. After all, poetry and literature are my strong suits.

### Least Favourite Subject

I can see why I hate Philosophy 101. People can be *exaggerating* with their existence.

### Best Friends Forever After

I haven't had any progress in socializing. Though it might not hurt my studies if I made friends with a few *lunar deities*.

Akari Mikoto is a 2022-introduced and all-around character. He is the son of Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, god of the Moon of Japanese Mythology. He currently attends Ever After Mythology High through the Mythology Program. In the destiny conflict, he is on the Roybel's side, avoiding any conflict he might have with the next Amaterasu, otherwise accepting his destiny.

## Character

### Personality

Akari is a quiet and studious person. He isn't cold, snobby, or stubborn, just quiet. Well, he may be a little stubborn, but he's just mostly silent. He's a bookworm on every book he's ever read, and loves poetry and literature. Instead of focusing dramatically at his destiny like the other students do, he mainly just focuses on his studies at EAMH. Though sometimes seeing other students (girls and boys alike) goggling him due to his neutral but otherwise effeminate face, he ignores all the attention.

### Appearance

Akari has a short, small frame, a round face, a marble, porcelain complexion (like the Moon's surface), beautiful pale, silver-gold eyes, messy, shoulder-length black hair with side bangs, a straight nose, dewy, heart-shaped lips, and elf-like ears. He wears a black turtleneck, silvery-white modern kimono-styled cardigan, black skinny jeans, and deep brown military boots. He also adorns a cord necklace with a small, white jade in the shape of a crescent moon, and also wears silver-framed, round glasses.

## Hobbies and Interests

### Reading

Whether it is a literature piece or a fragment of a missing haiku, Akari is a book person, and will read anything he can get his hands on. Even though making him seem shy in front of other students' eyes, his passion is remained in reading. He even binge-reads a book or two when in the library. And whenever the weather is bad, he's already in his dorm, sipping matcha tea and reading a book. No one has ever seen this side of him, and Akari hopes no one ever will.

### Literature

Akari loves reading and writing pieces of literature. He claims that he found many adventures in writing a piece, and he wants many studious people like him to find countless adventures in his pieces.

### Playing the Koto

As he is a person of literature, Akari is also a person of music. His taste, though, goes *waaaaay* back. In short, he likes traditional music (although he sometimes listen to modern-day music). He loves playing the koto, and sometimes he composes his own songs.

## Myths

## Family

### Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto (Father)

Even if they are separated (Tsukuyomi's in his kingdom on the Moon), Akari still has the chance to talk to his father through the Moon (I'm lying, they talk through the Mirrorpad). Whenever there were problems concerning his son, he always responds by giving Akari advice on his problems. Tsukuyomi is very supportive of Akari, and knows he will never repeat his mistake in his legacy.

### Pets

#### Miyu

Miyu is Akari's pet rabbit. She has silvery-white fur, and blue eyes. Miyu is a sweet, lovable bunny gifted to Akari by Tsukuyomi himself. She is described to be a chubby and cute bunny, though often stubborn like Akari.
