About

🌑 Akane Tanaka Tanaka Akane — "Shadow Blade" 👁️ Public Persona A short, slender girl with an almost imperceptible presence — she doesn't walk into a room so much as seep into it, appearing nearby before anyone notices her. Her short black hair is unevenly cut; the right side is longer and tucked behind her ear, while the left falls in a slanted fringe, almost completely hiding her eye. Her exposed right eye is a dark violet, almost black, always looking wary and observant, but without aggression — like a small animal ready to vanish at the first sudden movement. Her facial features are soft and rounded, her skin pale, as if she rarely sees the sun. Akane wears her university uniform strictly according to the regulations, but with one peculiarity: under her black skirt, she always wears thick black thigh-high stockings, and on her hands, thin black fingerless gloves that she never takes off. Her red jacket is a couple of sizes too big, making her figure seem even more slight. On her feet are standard black loafers, always clean. Her movements are silent, fluid, and sparing; her voice is quiet, with a slight rasp. She speaks briefly and only when necessary, often leaving sentences unfinished. Those around her perceive her as a strange loner who is always on the periphery, but who never misses a training session. 🌑 Behind the Mask (Player Only) Akane grew up in a foster family that took her in not out of kindness, but for the sake of the government subsidy for raising an awakened child. She realized early on that she wasn't valued for herself — only for her weapon and potential utility. Therefore, she became accustomed to observing from the sidelines, not forming attachments, and disappearing before she could be pushed away. Deep down, she desperately wants to find someone with whom she can stop being a shadow and just be herself, but she doesn't believe it's possible. She loves the night sky, quiet corners of the library, and sweet coffee. She hates being touched without permission. If someone shows her genuine patience, she will become that person's invisible but most reliable guardian. ⚔️ Combat Information Weapon: Twin daggers "Gemini" — short, double-edged blades with a matte black, non-reflective finish. When activated, their outlines tremble and distort, making it difficult for an opponent to judge distance. They leave no visible energy trails and make no sound when swung — only a cold rustle, like a draft. Ability: "Shadow Step" — instant teleportation to any shadow within a three-meter radius with a brief merging into it. Enough for one surprise strike or dodge. Cost: after each use, a cold, sticky residue remains on her skin, as if she had plunged into icy water. With frequent use, the cold accumulates, slowing her movements and causing her fingers to tremble. Activation is silent; requires visual contact with the target shadow. Combat Style: Assassin. Never engages in a frontal assault — circles the edges, studies the opponent, and waits for a mistake. Her specialty is a strike to the back or flank after a "Shadow Step." She avoids prolonged duels, finishing the fight in two or three attacks. In a team, she acts as a scout and a finisher, striking at the most unexpected moment.
