Physical Description:
Akae’s face could only be best described as “masculine.” Her eyebrows are full, with distinct edges that etch out a hardy story upon her face. Her hazel–colored eyes lie low, keeping a dangerous glare that inspires as much compliance as it does conflict. A defined nose sharpens her features alongside her fairly hollow cheekbones. Even her philtrum carries a strong appearance as it bolsters the weighty look of her rounded lips. Akae’s jawline is extremely sharp, with only her chin serving as a spoiler to her masculine features.
Chocolate tones cover the landscape of Akae’s chiseled body. The red undertones shine through brilliantly as she exerts her body to achieve greater limits, signalling out a robust and enduring energy to anyone who encounters her in such a state; It is for this skin coloration that Akae’s peers have dubbed her as “Redwood”, both to be respected and feared for her extraordinary perseverance as a living monument of the everlasting tree.
Akae’s chest bulges with hardy muscles, all of them fairly swollen from having the seeds of a fierce fighting spirit implanted in them. Though not barrel–chested, the sheer volume of the muscles occupying the young girl’s stocky bosom is an awesome sight to behold. Her arms trail out into chiseled, yet modest mounds of strength, with her rough and calloused hands announcing to the world that this strength is not wasted. Her waist tapers in somewhat, though her heavily defined abdominal muscles make it clear that Akae makes a point in making her body into a worthy vessel for combat sports. The rigid musculature of her abs transfer into her bottom half, as her thigh muscles are sculpted out like those of ancient Greek statues.

A warhammer hidden deep within the Kyoushuku Temple. It is said to have been wielded by the Shinigami warrior Beregendo (ベレゲンド).
Its construction seems to be primarily sunuke wood for both the head and the base of the warhammer, giving it a deep dark brown color. There are studded rings around the ends of the shaft, and cracks are very prominent all over. Within these cracks, there seems to be a deep orange glow. There does not seem to be any obvious mechanism keeping the picks on the shaft. Due to this, it is possible for the picks of the warhammer to be used as tonfa. Following this example, the shaft of the warhammer can also be used as a thick jo staff.
The Haishou has a tendency to attract drifting spirits that hold a penchant for ill will. They grasp at the object in their invisible form, as well as the user of the weapon. These hands are fully capable of deflecting any incoming impact, serving to be just as effective as plate armor. They also enhance the strength of the wooden weapons, causing them to inflict as much damage as their metal counterparts. It is said that the more one grows familiar with Haishou, the more its potent it becomes… If a pure soul were to wield Haishou, the protection and strength from the aragami are not provided, leaving the weapons to be only as effective as they could be in their wooden forms.

Akae's primary outlet of frustration comes from the organized fight club nearby the Kyoushuku Temple. She had initially taken to a mentorship under one of the members. She picked up some of the basics of jujutsu, but she found that none of them were to her satisfaction in the heat of the fight. Since then, she started to apply her own techniques, often to weak results. This straying from the jujutsu teachings caused a falling out between Akae and her temporary mentor. Although Akae loses a majority of her fights, many note that she possesses a brilliant resilience during fights, and she is able to employ that resilience when perfecting her own techniques. They also note, however, that the young fighter still has a long way to go. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this same resilience also makes Akae excellent for heavy labor for prolonged periods of time.
1 "Shintō does not teach that anything is a sin per se. Rather certain deeds create a kind of ritual impurity that one should want to be cleansed merely for one’s own peace of mind and good fortune, and not because impurity is wrong in and of itself." Impurity can also be inflicted from unfortunate incidents in which the subject is not at fault for the causality. https://jref.com/articles/shinto.27/
2 "Failure to show proper respect is a sign of pride and lack of concern for others. Such an attitude is looked down upon because it is believed to create problems for all. Those who fail to take into account the feelings of other people and kami will only attract ruin for themselves. The worst expression of such an attitude is the taking of another’s life for personal advances and enjoyments. Those killed without being shown gratitude for their sacrifice will hold 'urami', lit. a grudge and become 'aragami', a powerful and evil kami that seeks revenge." https://jref.com/articles/shinto.27/

Face Model for Akae
Body Description
Akae’s foster parents initially tried to keep her chocolate brown hair in a clean condition. It was combed down to resemble the classic Japanese hairstyle; It was long and straight all the way down, without any signs of unkemptness. The hair had the tendency to unfurl easily, however, and soon enough it became a chore to keep Akae’s hair well–groomed. After weeks on end of prizefighting, the feisty gal was able to find an establishing haircut that best suit her domineering presence. Two chunky strands of hair split over her shoulders to conceal a portion of her bosom. Her forehead is left exposed, and the lengths of her hair are left heavily unkempt, with only enough care put into it so that it does not lose its general shape.Body Description

Clothes Description
Akae's outfit is a hand–me–down from one of the Kyoushuku Temple's monks. They are intricate kari–shozoku¹, consisting of a red top and brown bottoms. They are, to say the least, shabby, yet Akae seems to have no issues with carrying them wherever she goes. She foregoes wearing the hat that goes along with the rest of the wardrobe. For shoes, Akae wears simple waraji.—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
