Akira

Oh yeah, new art btw :3 - Made on 4/22/2025

Anyways, um warning for suicide, self-h and sum other dark stuff for her :1... if anyone needs it anyways.

Akira was born without "real parents" -so to say- and being an only child was really lonely for her, so what did she do during her free time? Go explore her neighborhood and the forest behind her home. She would occasionally stay there for a couple hours, just chatting with herself since not many of the kids at school really liked her. They excused her, but there was really no one she could call a friend. She was a real quiet kid and the teachers didn't put much attention to her situation. She was bullied for a short while when she was younger, only the popular kids called her names like 'mute', and 'zombie' because of how lightheaded she could be sometimes.

She did eventually start talking more in middle school, making only a handful of friends, but it was enough for her to handle. As time passed though, the more her friends started to seperate from her, her home situation becoming more than little Akira could handle at the time. She started with her habit of pulling her hair and sometimes, punching her self, believing that she was the root of all her problems. She would always tell herself, "May the light be my savior," - in other words- 'May god come and stike me down'. She always prayed for that day to come, until she met him.

Mariki would secretly watch Akira as she stayed in the woods, exploring and passing by the pound nearby sometimes. He always noticed how she would walk in there after school. She wouldn't go into her home and would instead do her work outside as she listened to the sounds of nature and the birds singing. Akira had caught his intrest and thought that he should evenutally come out to her and introduce himself. Who could've wondered that a evil spirt would be so empathetic towards a young girl who wanted to kill herself?

At first, Akira was hesitant to befriend such a spirt, especially since he was a shapeshifter. Additionally, she had never met anything like him before, so this was new to her. Also, neither one really knew how to start a conversation, but it was something the two could relate. So, after a couple weeks of chatting with each other about themselves, they became friends:D!! When Markiri and Akira were out in public together, Markiri would shapeshift into a girl named "Mari". There are currently 2 versions of Mari: 1. Mari herself and 2. Markiri's version of "Mari" (since Mari is another friend of Markiri :)

IKKKK ts a lot to read, but I love Akira, Markiri, and Mari so much. Also, Mariki's nickname is "Markiri" since I sometimes mistake him for that... oops _-_

Also, Akira and Mari are both around 17-18. Akira is currently in senior year of highschool with a couple other friends (only like 2-3 but its okay guys :)
