“I’m empty, bleeding gently
while you’re eyes look on intently
but their looking so hollow, too hard to follow.
And now we’re feeling so hollow, its so hard to swallow
I want to feel, something so real
something to set me free.
But freedom can be frightening if you’ve never felt it.”

Clothes – Casual. Jeans or baggy trousers. With trainers, saggy t-shirts or vests. Wears a hooded top, either zipped up in the front with her hands tucked in the pockets or unzipped and loose. Always wears the hood up, with her face half hidden behind the cloth and shoots of dark hair peering out.personality
Spunky, quite, tomboy – this is Akira Nakamura. Her talk is blunt, quiet but straight forward. She is skilled in many of the pursuits often stereotyped as ‘for the boys’ and she unconcern’s herself with ‘girly stuff’ despite being fascinated by cute girls. She enjoys mixed martial arts (especially Aikido and Karate), fencing and mechanics or roughing herself up on the sports field with soccer and rugby. When chilling she’ll strum her guitar, walk alone along meandering walks and gaze out across open spaces as if contemplating a heavy weight on her shoulders.
Akira is a loner - segregating herself from others due to her own difficulties to relate with people. Being both ineffectual and withdrawn, she does not understand the power of friendship, despite secretly curious and longing for it. From first impression Akira may often come across as depressed, but this is not the case. Akira when in the waking world is simply unemotive, indifferent and detached, despite having a good heart underneath it all. In fact the only time she will show any emotion in the waking world is when she’s angry, annoyed, bored, sparring with her martial arts or battling it out on the sports field. She is truly in need of a good friend or lover, who can open up her heart.
Only in the dream world does Akira truly feel; as there she is finally free from her physical bonds and distrust. There in the dream world she is no longer detached and recluse, but a free spirit, enjoying all that has to offer.
In the waking world, she could be in the middle of a protest, the academy’s party of the year, or a helpless witness to the decline of her school grades... and she'll show all the emotional reaction of a victim of a Botox overdose. Sometimes the anchor in the midst of chaos; other times just quietly mysterious. She draws attention to herself simply by her non-reaction. Always practical, realistic and matter-of-fact.
However don’t let this lack of affect fool you. Underneath her tough, almost badass exterior is a girl deep in contemplation and introversion. Occasionally she’ll vent through her music and writing, exhibiting depth and creativity that would often surprise people. Her main form of expression however is when she can hit the dojo, feeling the burn of muscle fatigue after each arching kick, or sideswipe punch as she hones her martial skills. Occasionally shocking herself, at how much pleasure she feels from kicking butt of her opponent.
Secretly, she’ll work towards helping those she finds in trouble. Perhaps never been apt enough to offer psychological support, but will work in discreet, practical ways to ensure other people’s happiness (even strangers), occasionally offering the quiet shoulder to cry on. In academia, Akira is neither top of the class, nor plane Jane. She ranks somewhere in the upper middle. Her grades usually being high enough to sail her through the semester, but not outstanding to attract attention.
But shy and lacking in confidence, Akira is not! It’s just indifference and apathy which restrains her. But when seriously pushed, Akira can be dangeriously aggressive, uncaring of the consequences. Her day to day body language can often throw people, as she either appears blasé and casual or defensive and aggressive. Most people find her difficult to read, and never quiet seem to ‘get her’. Often shrugging her off as just being difficult or rude, when in fact this is the complete opposite of her intentions. Her outlook is not really pessimistic, just realistic and apathetic. Little moves her. She finds life tolerable, but she’d rather move through it undisturbed and hassle free. Her spirit s almost impenetrable. Her thick skin like stone. With a desperate hunger to feel...anything!!family & history
FATHER: Hiroshi Nakamura
MOTHER: Isabell Nakamura
SIBLINGS: –none-
OTHER FAMILY: Darius Honda (uncle)
HISTORY:
Hiroshi Nakamura, CEO for Reiko enterprises in Japan has very little time for family. So when an American immigrant told him that she was pregnant from their brief love affair, he did what only any busy man would do. He dealt with it swiftly, but honourably. Their union in marriage was only a performance; a show of his generosity. But as soon as the child was born, the child was sent away to be cared for by others. Away from all prying eyes, who might disapprove of the one night mistakes of a very influential man.
This was how Akira Nakamura grew up – living from the one nanny to the next. Sent away to boarding school and children’s home. Only to be moved again, when father had caught wind that the press was reaching close to finding out the indentify of his ‘one night mistake’. That was how Akira was regarded – a mistake, an accident, something that had to be hidden away or else cause shame upon the Nakamura family and her father’s professional legacy. But Akira could not care, no one loved her and so she would not love anyone – this was her motto. Until one day she fell for the affections of a girl at one of her boarding schools. When Hiroshi found out of his hidden daughter’s lesbian romance, he was outraged and shame filled him. His efforts to break up the relationship and further conceal the whereabouts of his daughter were doubled.
This veiled, almost mysterious boarding school called Sonium Academy, far away within the western world was perfect for hiding daddy’s little secret.
Though Akira, this silent fighter, has roots stretching back to Japan and an unloved past, Akira differentiates herself in that she does not let her past effect her present...or at least tries not to. No, Akira lives for the moment. Just trying to survive. Always secretly reaching out, for something – for someone. She takes each transfer to each new school, without jolt, resigning herself to her fate. Knowing that she must not get too attached to the place, for soon she’ll be moved again. Akira has never known a place to call her home, or people who would always be there for here. Because of this, she is purely self reliant, independent and denies herself from getting close to anyone and anything.dream form
Only in the dream world does Akira truly feel; as there she is finally free from her physical bonds and distrust. There in the dream world she is no longer detached and recluse, but a free spirit, enjoying all that has to offer. There her spirit is wild, passionate and untamed – so completely different from herself in the waking world. And that is why her dream form is represented by a magical Sabertooth tiger.
The tiger is strong, fierce, but also loving. Roaming wild amongst the planes but also flying through the sky, leaping from cloud to cloud. As the tiger she remains silent if she so wishes, or can commune with others psychically. From behind the shield that this anonymity offers her, she feeds her curious pursuits with which in the waking world she would not of dared.
Her coat is a glossy amber, spotted with black and a belly of white fur. Her eyes glow gold, shaded behind thick whiskers which protrude above two snarling ivory fangs. She has an aura of strength and beauty, and a fierce will to protect those that she cares about.
The tiger has subtle magical powers, which Akira has yet to discover, but work on the natural senses of the creature. For example the sabertooths tiger has such an acute sense of smell, that it can also pick up on other people’s thoughts and emotions by scent alone. With sight, the tiger can see perfectly well in the dark and detect heat patters. And its speed is so swift that not only can the beast leap from cloud to cloud, but if careful it can run across water without its paws getting wet. It is known in the wild, that tiger’s lick their wounds not only to clean them but because of the healing properties of its saliva, with the sabertooth tiger this attribute is highly efficient, able to heal even the most dire of wounds, albeit slowly.
