AU HISTORY: Akane Kurashiki is a girl who was originally born and raised in Japan. She was an inquisitive child - one who found interest in even strange things. Many of her peers at her elementary school were afraid to approach her. Akane was often alone and didn't have much friends. Instead of befriending normal people, she befriended a rabbit. Her happy days continued until her parents died of old age and poor health.

For a while, Akane was in shock. She wouldn't stop crying until her brother decided to take care of her. The two siblings had a difficult time managing without the assistance of a parent. This went on for a few years. Not that it could be helped, after all Akane was just a child. It wasn't long until Akane herself matured to lessen the burden on her brother. She researched for ways to improve their life style. One method in particular piqued her interest. Akane heard of a university where she could study sciences and apply for a good education.

From here on in, Akane became obsessed with scientific books so she could pass with good grades. The only thing she wanted was for her and her brother to be happy. Of course, achieving happiness wasn't easy for her. There were many difficult trials ahead. Akane and her sibling pitched their money together so they could buy a trip to Recolle. Unfortunately, the gas malfunctioned during her flight and there was a fire. Akane was caught inside blaze, traumatizing her further. Now she's grown especially wary of ships, planes, any method of travel that isn't immediately safe. She considered herself lucky for surviving such a terrible incident.

Well, since Akane finally made it to Recolle she figured that she should make the most of it. At first, she had some difficulty blending into her surroundings. Her Japanese upbringing and style stood out often. That was when Akane decided to change her looks in order to fit in more. Who would want to be friends with someone who can't even dress up well? That questions entirely debatable, but the point stands that Akane didn't want to draw too much attention to herself. She slowly grew more accustomed to how a student should behave and act.

After that she managed to get a job and live by herself because her brother couldn't make it also. Her sibling is alive and managing himself back in Japan. Thankfully, Akane makes a living through minimum wage and studies medical science to support them both.

AU PERSONALITY:

Akane's frontal personality remains largely the same. She's approachable, friendly, easy to speak with and trustworthy. Many of her surface traits didn't change much. To others, she'll come off as a shy and awkward girl. Overall, Akane genuinely means well. Without the trauma of being kidnapped and forced to play in a Nonary game, Akane will be less shady. She isn't going to be the mastermind Zero anymore. Her sense of right and wrong haven't divulged into the deep end either. Her peers would just see her as a harmless individual.

However, Akane's core attitude now is completely different from how she is in canon. She wouldn't even try to kill another person or think of it. In fact, it's quite the opposite this time. Akane will believe that it's right to save human lives if you have a chance to. She wouldn't needlessly sacrifice someone for her own goals. Her view changes because she wasn't involved in some grand conspiracy this time. In other words, she became more normal than her original counterpart. There was never a need for her to think of life on a larger scale while manipulating people. Her simple wish to be happy can be accomplished, unlike before.

A big thing to mention would be her fear of traveling. Due to her involvement in a plane accident, Akane becomes terrified at the thought of travelling in any form. She prefers walking or using a bike instead. Her paranoia has caused her to miss out on trips and other adventures, but she doesn't care. It's better to be safe than sorry, right? Akane hides the bruise she received in the accident with long sleeves and dresses. She cares more about her appearance than normal. The fact that Akane's from another country contributes to that further. She doesn't want to make a lot of noise or stand out.
