##### As Princess of Willow Creek

The youngest of Queen Helena's triplets. Her mother always jokes on how she's "too good for this world". Akari is the most passive and sensitive of her siblings. As a young girl, she especially liked to visit the sick and help out charities while on trips with her mother. She usually lets her other siblings boss her around and they often play pranks on her, which she isn't too upset about. She was the closest to her grandfather before he passed away, and calls his wife, Queen Adelia, "Grandma".

She's a hopeless romantic and adores her at the time love interest, Prince Jarrod, who isn't too enamored by her, but they get along and Jarrod somewhat appreciates her kind nature and accompaniment. She happily accepted his marriage proposal and they had a beautiful wedding and enjoyed their time as Crowned Prince and Princess of Del Sol Valley. She's the doll of Willow Creek and everyone had high hopes for her as Queen Consort of Del Sol Valley.

##### -As Crowned Princess of Del Sol Valley-

She tried her best to not be intimidated by her father-in-law, but after a few months of living in DSV, he died, and Jarrod and Akari were crowned King and Queen. Her friendly nature and sensitivity have made her popular with the people, but her husband's arrogance and carefree attitude has made the public grow weary of him, almost like how his father was viewed. Nonetheless, Jarrod was adamant that he was nothing like his father, and he would do everything in his power to be a good monarch for Del Sol Valley.

##### -After becoming Queen Consort of Del Sol Valley-

After their ascension and the birth of their daughter, Akari noticed her husband was paying less attention to them and changed over time; who was trying to grab power from the government. She brushed it off as him being busy with his new royal obligations, but as time went on, when he would come around, he was either distant or condescending. She feared that the people's words were getting to him and that he would turn out to be like his father. While he was away, bullying the nobles and officials, Akari copied her mother and visited charities and the sick, bringing alongside her daughter. She gained even more popularity and she was seen as the neglected and good wife of the aggressive king. Akari managed to keep up her jovial personality and smile in public, but secretly, she was frustrated and humiliated by her husband.

##### -The Brother's War Begins...-

As if things could get any worse for her, while pregnant with her second child, her brother-in-law, Oscar overthrew Jarrod's rule and proclaimed himself king. Jarrod fled the country with his family, and Akari decided to go back home to Willow Creek for a while, with her daughter and to give birth to her son there where it was safe. Although melancholy about the whole ordeal, Akari pleaded with her husband to try and compromise with his brother, but Jarrod, blinded by revenge and greed, once again ignored her.

Luckily, Jarrod was able to take back the throne, and they were both reinstated, but that wasn't the end of Oscar. In fact, that was only the beginning of years of squabble for the throne between the brothers. Akari and her family were forced to move to and from Del Sol Valley, which she put up with, but quietly drove her crazy. She had a series of mental breakdowns over the years, but her husband would try to keep her sheltered and isolated during these fits. She feared for her children, whom she sheltered the best she could. Since she felt they were too young to understand, Akari often covered it up when they had to leave the country, but her precocious daughter, Crowned Princess Heather, quickly saw through her lies.

After many fights, Jarrod had had enough of his stubborn brother and plotted something no one suspected: to kill King Oscar and his family. Jarrod kept his plans a secret from his family, but Akari managed to get one of the nobles to rat him out. Mortified, worried, and ignored by her husband, she traveled to Willow Creek for help. She managed to figure out how to make sure that Jarrod's curse would not affect his brother, and quickly made haste to warn Oscar of Jarrod's disgusting plans and encouraged him to flee as far and as fast as he could, so his curse would not take effect. Oscar, in disbelief, that his rival's wife turned her back on him, took that advantage, and moved his family away for a while. Luckily, her efforts paid off, and King Oscar and his family were okay, but Jarrod soon found out about his wife's betrayal and hence took all of his frustration and madness out on her and their children. Although she feared her husband's outbursts and aggressiveness, she knew she did the right thing, and put up with his abuse.

Akari was against Jarrod arranging a marriage for Heather, especially with a man 10 years older than her, and who treated her poorly. Akari agreed to marry Jarrod with her own conscious decision and wanted her children to do the same, but Jarrod kept his word and forced his daughter to marry Lord Martino anyway. Scared for her daughter, she made efforts to delay their wedding and promised her that she would get her beloved daughter to get her out of the betrothal, but she was going to need some help...

Back in Willow Creek, the royal family was descending into chaos. Princess Valerie always sought attention and stirred up drama with the media, the Crowned Princess, and Baron Leon. Prince Arthur, second in line to the throne, had a baby out of wedlock with his tutor, and with the Queen growing old and struggling to regulate, few doubted how much longer the royal family would stay keep favor with the people and in power. Akari decided to take a long vacation from the disorder and stress in DSV, to visit her family back home. Though she was denied her children to accompany her. In reality, she had been scheming to go back home and create her own plans to overthrow her husband.

With the help of some loyal advisors and her family, she was able to discover some hidden secrets about Del Sol Valley, that were vital to her plans: As it turns out, many countries were wary to make an alliance with DSV due to its suspicious rumors and background. It was kept in secret that years ago, a noble family, who had roots to Del Sol Valley and primarily Brindleton Bay, cursed the royal family of Brindleton Bay with an unknown sickness in hopes of obtaining the throne. Little did they know, the sickness was so powerful that it reached the perpetrators too, ending in the deaths of their own family as well as the immediate Brindleton Bay royals, leading to King Alexios' accession. The mysterious death of Queen Riona of Del Sol Valley was discovered to be this particular sickness, who was part of the plot the entire time. **With this shocking information and many questions solved, Akari finally had the potential to announce these findings and take her husband off the throne.**
