Akiri Rai

**Akiri Rai,**more often called by her nickname, **Aki,**was previously a student of Aoba Johsai, and the captain and ace of the girls volleyball team. Though after high school, she quit volleyball for thus unknown reasons.

During her time at Agatsuma Junior High, she held the same positions, but was known to be part of, "The Generation of Wonders." As such, she's an antagonist of *Wonder Ball.*

## Appearance.

Akiri is a tall young woman with light skin, an athletic build, dark blue eyes and short black hair that just barely passes her shoulders.

When Akiri was in high school and junior high, she often wore the uniform, but with some differences that her teachers often failed to notice, such as off-colored sweaters or shoes.

Raidon, another Wonder, notes that she likes extremely average plain-looking clothes.

## Personality.

Of the Wonders, she's the dullest of the six. Often, she doesn't say much besides short sarcastic quips and remarks, and apart from that never says a thing.

Shiki and Nami have often called Akiri out during their days at Agatsuma for being lazy, to which her excuse was that volleyball was boring, despite the fact she was the captain. This shows her lack of motivation for the sport and slight dislike for it.

Despite not enjoying volleyball, Akiri continued playing the sport till she graduated, at which point she quit. Her reason for continuing was that she didn't want to be left behind by the other Wonders, or she'd have quit after Agatsuma.

Though despite her lack of interest in about everything, Akiri does show contempt for Kagami Nami though, like most of the other Wonders. The reason for this is still unknown, though it's slightly implied to be because of an argument between Nami and Takama.

Despite this though, unlike the other Wonders, Akiri knows the fight was Takama's fault, but still blames Nami for the Wonders falling out. Akiri also is implied to have a crush on Takama, and therefore told the other Wonders the argument was Nami's fault, which actually meant it was her fault for the fallout. She's implied to be guilty about it.

## Background.

Before the events of *Wonder Ball,*Akiri was the girls captain and ace of Agatsuma Junior High, in which she was on a team with Shiki Hiro, Kagami Nami and 4 other unnamed girls.

Alongside Shiki and Nami, she would become of the, "Generation of Wonders," alongside three boys, Raidon, Takama and Hideki. Not much is known about this time except that unlike Hideki and Shiki, Akiri and the rest of the Wonders all got awards in their third years. Akiri, like Raidon and Takama, made fun of Hideki and Shiki for a few weeks afterward due to this.

At some point though, an argument broke out between Nami and Takama, which is implied to have lead to all the Wonders disliking Nami, her grades dropping, quitting the club, and being held back a year. Unlike everyone else, Akiri knows the fight was Takama's fault and was the one to tell them it was Nami's do to her crush on Takama.

Akiri later went to Aoba Johsai, as that's the card she pulled from the Wonders hat, though she wanted to go to Nekoma. By her third year, she held the same positions as in Agatsuma, but after graduating, she quit volleyball altogether.

## Statistics.

 Speed

Being a Wonder, Akiri was extremely talented when she played volleyball but lacked motivation and as such didn't try that hard, which often lead to her losing. Takama comments that he's out of the loop on how Akiri managed to surpass Shiki, as she was much better at the sport, and so was Nami, and only made captain because Shiki didn't want it, while Nami was the libero.

Though Hideki comments that when Ariki spikes, it feels like a fireball is coming right at you, but notes that all the other Wonders spikes are stronger. Even Raidon and Nami, who are liberos.

Though Akiri, despite her lack of interest, was extremely good at inspiring the other members of her team, which she cites as the reason she became the captain. She also admits instead of control, she uses outright brute force to spike the ball. Despite being the worst of the Wonders at spiking, she's said to be the best at serving.

## Relationships.

### **Agatsuma Junior High.**

* **Kagami Nami:**In the past, Akiri and Nami were said to get along well, and Nami was the one to come up with, "Aki," as a nickname for Akiri. Like the rest of the Wonders, she holds Nami accountable for the falling out of all six Wonders, despite the fact Nami did nothing wrong. Despite that, Nami still holds Akiri in high regard, citing her as the captain she wishes she was.
* **Takama Agashi:**Akiri is implied to have had a crush on Takama since junior high, and during the fight between he and Nami, she pinned the blame on Nami, to stay within Takama's good graces. Unlike the other Wonders, they still stay in contact, and Takama says he's considering Akiri as an "option."
* **Shiki Hiro:**Like Akiri, Shiki is a Wonder, and as such they were good friends. Supposedly, they both liked to practice their spiking together, and enjoyed hanging out. After Shiki failed to gain an award, Akiri joined in making fun of her with Raidon and Takama. After Nami and Takama's fight, Shiki and Akiri have been out of contact. Akiri also seems to be unaware that Shiki kept contact with Nami, and even less so that the two are together.
* **Raidon Takashi:**As another Wonder, Akiri and Raidon were good friends, and often Raidon would get very annoyed with the small differences that Akiri always had with her uniform. He also, like with the others, fussed when she got sweat stains on her shirts. Akiri joined Raidon and Takama in making fun of Hideki and Shiki when they failed at getting awards. After the fallout, Raidon and Akiri are out of contact.
* **Hideki Shohei:**Like with other Wonders, Akiri and Hideki were good friends, and often hanged around one another. When Hideki failed to get an award, Akiri joined Raidon and Takama in making fun of him. After the fallout, their no longer talking.

## Trivia.

* High school Concern: Their's no good-looking boys around.
* Current Concern: Takama still hasn't used the number she gave him yet.
* Akiri was supposed to be the most interesting while also most boring Wonder, which made her incredibly hard to write.
