Akari Oborodzuka (朧塚朱莉), regarded as "Lady Fox" or "Kitsune," is a character from the Onibi series.

She is the sister of Kanishiro, belonging to the Kitsune Clan. She is later kidnapped and killed right before cursing her murderer's bloodline and returning to life.

## Appearance

Akari is a twenty-year-old woman who is described as beautiful by many.

In her canon design, she has long white hair and blue eyes. When portrayed by Hatsune Miku, she has her hair in twintails instead, tied with either bells or hair ties.

When angered, Akari's hair turns into a bright, red color, and her eyes reflect this change, becoming a flaming red. Under this physical change, she then gains the power to make others harm themselves.

She commonly wears a wine colored kimono with black sashes and grey obi alongside a golden Fox mask, but she has been seen wearing kimonos with other colors.

In the song, "Onigumo to Kitsune no Shishi to", she wears a light blue kimono, with white sashes and a pink obi, which is later cut.

In the song, "Kimikage Enbukyou -Kitsune no Yomeiri-*",* she is seen wearing a grey kimono with blue sashes and yellow obi. As well as a light purple kimono with light pink sashes and a long dark red skirt in "Himeyuri Enbukyo".

## Personality

She is described as serious, and her face reflects that.

Not much else is said apart from that, but we can also say what we can see in masa's blog and the series as a whole.

She is also perceived as cunning, manipulating Shikyou to obtain information. Additionally, she can be considered reckless and quick-tempered, as evidenced by her powers and how she manages them. She is extremely fearless; even in situations where she faces death, instead of being frightened, she immediately becomes angry and uses her powers to harm and kill people.

She appears to be a highly emotional character. Due to her past experiences of being abused by her clan, she is seen as a deeply resentful person, particularly towards her powers and white hair - the very reasons for her abuse in the first place. She expresses remorse for her actions, as shown when she refers to herself as a monster. It is possible that she is very insecure due to the abuse she has received.

## Background

### Early life

Akari was born into the Oborodzuka clan, or the "Kitsune clan", and unlike the majority of the members, she is not physically disabled, instead, being born with strange white hair.

Some people in her clan hated her as a result of her unusual white hair, as when she was little, after they deceived her mother, telling her that they were giving her a gifted education, they would lock her in a room and abuse her under the pretense of teaching her.

Some examples are them giving her problems that children couldn’t understand, and if she dared made a mistake, they’d beat her as a punishment.

Until one day, seemingly being in a bad mood, they began kicking her and beating after assuring her mother that she was learning. Akari then began bawling and sobbing intensely, being unable to take it anymore. And that seemed to aggravate them, as one of them slapped her with all his strength.

At that moment, something snapped inside Akari, and her fear turned into murderous intent, seeing only red, the face of the one who slapped her contorted, and he began to suffer violently, clutching his chest as he writhed around, painfully screaming.

When the man died, silence rung out in the room for a while, until the man who were beating Akari began screaming hysterically, while banging on the door of the room that they locked themselves in.

One of the men called her a "monster" and to stay away, and with that, her murderous intent returned and the man who had screamed at her began slamming his head against the locked door until he fell dead.

Seeing this, the remaining ones begged Akari to spare his life and forgive him, feeling that his life was in danger because if what he saw.

Akari mocked this, the adult who was beating her just a moment ago was betting for his life to a child. However, for a moment, she thought that she could possibly forgive him, but she remembered the pain that she suffered, and the man began shaking, right before dying.

Akari didn’t know what was going on, and having heard the unusual screams, other adults came running and unlocked the door. They were stunned when they saw Akari, staring at her hair and eyes. She brought a handful of hair up to her, and she saw crimson.

After that, Akari began learning many things from her mother, she told her that her red eyes and white hair is proof of the calamity that marked the beginning of her clan, bestowed with a divine power and that the only other person to have ever been born with this power, is the founder of this clan.

Realizing that she was a reincarnation of the founder, who had done many monstrous acts, Akari began calling herself a monster.

## Relationships

### Mai Shishikusa

They both got married and is confirmed that they have feelings for each other. In the song "Star Lily Dance Performance", Mai describes her dream life with Akari if she hadn't died.

### Kanishiro Oborodzuka

One of Akari's many brothers, not much is known about their relationship, as they haven't been seen interacting as much, but he might've decided to get involved in Mai's kidnapping out of revenge against Akari's captors.

#### Akari's Mother

Akari is shown to love her mother deeply, with the latter feeling the same, but she is upset by the state of their Clan and blood.

Akari at one point suspects her mother made a pact with demonic spirits, which resulted in her horrible powers, her mother becomes mad at her when asking her about this, but she affirms that Akari was not the result of any deal with demons.

### Tsukuyomi

Akari sometimes meets Tsukuyomi, her clan's founder, in the Black Sun Palace.

She hates her for disregarding the lives of those she massacred. However, Akari knows better than to fight her about it., and in return, Tsukuyomi responded to Akari's anger towards her by threatening her and displaying her godlike powers.

### Shikyou the Amanojaku

Akari is shown to be skeptical of Shikyou, especially when they first meet, she also lies and plays dumb to Shikyou to get more information out of her about Tsukuyomi. Akari also comments on Shikyou’s appearance, saying how beautiful she is.

It's still unknown if Shikyou is truly manipulating Akari like Tsukuyomi says, but Shikyou tells Akari that she wants to make Akari a deal with her, and brought her to life. and can be seen taking over her consciousness.

### Emi

It can be drawn from the song, "The Fox's Wedding remix" that Akari really does not really like Emi that much.

As Emi was seen gauging out her own eye, and stabbing holes into her own face with her fingernails, indicating Akari's power at work. At the same time Akari's hair is red and her expression appears furious.

## Trivia

* Akari's name in Japanese has many writings in Kanji, but going with Masa's writing, 朱 means "vermilion red or crimson".

* Akari's surname, Oborodzuka, is made up of two words: Oboro means "haziness, obscuring or gloom", and Dzuka bears no meaning. But it's close to another word, Zuka, which means "tomb with overtures of spiritual shields and boundaries".

* Akari is the only character to almost appear in all of the songs; the only exception is the song "Onibi".
