Public Profile

Akachi was always quiet and intense. As a child she prefered to be busy and was not fond of unstructured free time. She rarely got angry, but when she did, it was difficult to bring her back down. Akachi did excellent in her studies, but made few friends. When Akachi exalted, it nearly ended in the deaths of two boys that had been picking on her. Fearing that her temper and new powers would result in trouble, her house pulled her from school and arranged for a Immaculate monk to finish her education. The monk successfully taught her self control but found she grew restless during meditation and other restfull activites. While intelligent enough for either the Academy or the Heptagram, she showed no interest. Akachi's natural instinct was to attend the House of Bells, like most of her family, or the Cloister of Wisdom. He tutor naturally wanted her to attend the Cloister, but Akachi felt that the life of a monk would be to peacefull for her. When she finally decided on the House of Bells, she was quickly accepted.

Akachi found the House more challenging than she expected. While she found the academics and physical exercises within her range of natural talents, teamwork was not. Akachi's one-on-one teaching may have helped her in some ways, but it never taught her to develop the personal skills to deal with a group of equals. When in a group with a strict structure, she could get by, though she fumed when her superiors were less capable than her. When Akachi was appointed to a leadership position, she could get things accomplished through her own ability and sheer will. It was clear, however, that she could not get those under her to their full potential. The worst though, was amoung equals. Akachi was too stubborn to follow someone less able than her if she didnt have to and she lacked the charisma to inspire people to follow her. Luckily, by the end of her career at the House of Bells, she had starting working with a number of cadets that could manipulate and control her to everyone's benefit. Akachi graduated in the top half of her class, but well below what her abilites would suggest she was capable of. As a result, on the eve of her graduation Akachi received a fierce talking down by the head of the school. The speech had the desired affect and Akachi has become more aware of her shortcomings and how to manage them.

Akachi joined the Sesus legions immediatly after graduation. She proved a powerful combatent both physically and mentally and was promoted quickly. In an attempt to cover her weakness, Akachi directed her career towards smaller more specialized units where she could have more of an impact individually. As a result, Akachi gained experience with scouts, cavalry, special weapons teams, and other misc units. At first her physical ability and planning covered for her, but eventually it became apperent to her superiors that she was not capable of getting the most out of her soldiers.

Akachi had not even considered a domestic life when her family announced to her that an agreement had been made for her and Cathak Aden to be married.
