Background
Akagi is based on the Akagi Japanese aircraft. She has long black hair and crimson eyes, as well as pointy fox ears and nine tails.

She wears a long red overcoat over this, with red and black detailing and gold trimmings. Akagi does not speak much about her past, preferring to focus on her current task at hand. She is a devoted member of the Sakura Empire, often holding positions of authority. She focuses only on destroying her enemies, doing whatever she can to make sure that she comes out on top.
Special Abilities
Akagi has a set of skills that help give her an advantage over her opponents.
