When we first meet Akane she appears to others as a thoughtful, sincere and friendly girl. She never wants to leave anyone behind and thinks everyone can be friends if they try. The creator himself says that Akane is this sort of girl. Akane Kurashiki is a sophisticated individual who can be serious at times. This aspect of her isn't too surprising when you learn she was raised as a Japanese woman. Her surface traits aren't necessarily a lie, but there's a much deeper aspect to them as well. In reality, she's quite the trickster and a mastermind.

Akane's intellect and sharp mind sets her apart from the others. She thinks of life on a much larger scale than a commoner. Perhaps her strange though process is what made her an outcast when she was little. She wasn't popular with the boys nor did she have many friends. Akane had grown used to being left alone with her thoughts. Eventually she developed a fondness for science and quantum physics. Her vast amount of knowledge shows during the Nonary games. She had often spoke of conspiracy theories or complex ideas. It wasn't all that interesting to the others, but for her it was.

No matter what timeline she's in Akane can be a bit emotional. She ends up hysterical whenever corpses are found. Everyone in her group believes that her reactions are understandable. On the other hand, they wonder why they aren't freaking out the way she is. Akane's capable of feeling sympathy for people she's not even all that close to. Her sense of empathy and sympathy are quite strong even towards strangers. Her overly emotional heart could be one of her weaknesses. It's been a strong trait of hers every since she was a child.

Her views on life and morals tend to fall on the grey side of the spectrum. Akane wouldn't hesitate to kill a person in order to achieve her own goals. She's willing to cross certain lines where others would hesitate. We do see her mercilessly kidnap others for her own gains. Over the course of the series she ends up having a lot of blood on her hands. Sometimes the blood that's meant to be on her hands ends up on another person. This happens when she manipulates Ace into killing three different people. She can be rather cold and cunning for someone who appears to be demure.

At times, Akane's personality may seem a bit contradictory. After all, how could someone who appears to be trustworthy do something unforgivable? Akane does want her friends to trust her explicitly, even if she is fooling them to a certain extent. To her, being a trickster is a necessary evil. If she wasn't able to trick her friends into entering the Nonary game, then she couldn't punish the people responsible for creating it to begin with. Of course, no two wrongs make a right, but for Akane she goes to great lengths to make it so.

In 999 Akane's goal was self preservation. At a young age was doomed to die inside an incinerator where she would burn to death. By accessing something known as the "morphogenetic field" she was able to obtain information necessary to save her life. While her wishes may be simple and understandable, her methods are not. She makes use of time travel, psychology, manipulation, and science in order to save herself. Though naturally none of this would have been possible without the help of her family and friends. She's specially close to Aoi and Junpei.

Her relationship with Junpei is somewhat special. She's had a crush on him for a very long time. Whenever Akane comes close to death she tells him her true feelings. Akane's feelings aren't difficult to notice. Lotus seems to have spotted her affection for him instantly. Subsequently, Akane will try to look good just to impress him. It's originally the reason why she died to begin with. Akane fell into a trap while searching for the gift she received. Junpei's kindness is one of the greatest treasures she's ever received from a person.

Another interesting thing to learn about Akane is that she can easily fool others. She tricked the group into thinking her bracelet had the number "6" when in reality it's a "9". No one caught onto her until it was too late. Akane's crafty for a girl her age. To a lesser extent, Akane did manage to fool Junpei into thinking she was discussing sex. Seriously though? Akane was talking about drowning making it an awkward conversation. This girl has no problem raising peoples hopes up, only to crush them if it's a harmless prank.

On a more minor note, Akane does believe in things like santa, curses, that ufos live on the moon, and conspiracy theories. She's more childish than she lets on at times. Is she a bit of a weirdo? Perhaps. Strange habits tend to develop at an early age. This was especially true for Akane.

Overall, Akane is a complex character with shady views on life. She appears to others as a trustworthy girl. That only touches the surface of her character and not everyone's aware of the truth. At her core, she's kind of cold and cunning. It's surprising to learn this about her until you discover what she's been through. Her past experiences have shaped her into the current Akane.




SKILLS/ABILITIES:

Knowledge - She's studied many scientific theories to a great extent. Akane's an avid reader, someone who can pull facts out of her mind almost instantly. Her strength lies in time-travel theory and quantum physics.

Esper - In this canon, people who can access the morphogenetic field are called espers. Akane does fall into this group as she can access knowledge outside of view. Technically speaking, there are two types of Espers. The first type is a transmitter and the second type is a receiver. Akane's more of a transmitter type. She can send information she receives to another individual with the same powers. Naturally, this power shouldn't come into play but it's important enough to note.
