Biography
Akame (Japanese: アカメ, Hepburn: Akame) was a female human who had a sister name Kurome where as children the pair were sold to the Empire. The Empire forced the pair to participate in a cruel exam with this involving the pair being sent into a forest inhabited by Danger Beasts. Those participating in the trial had to survive the creatures and escape from the forest with 100 children participating in the exam. Akame and Kurome were the only ones that managed to survive this test where they were overseen by Gozuki. He was responsible for parting the siblings as he refused to have hem join the same group as he believed it would lead to them depending on one another and that it would damage their effectiveness in combat. Akame was shown to had been the strongest of the siblings where she was sent to join Gozuki's new assassin squad the Elite Seven with her being trained in the arts of espionage and combat leading to her becoming a highly effective killer.
The constant deaths of her many comrades led to her becoming slowly dissatisfied and resentful of the Empire. One day, she was given an assignment to hunt down a Revolutionary Army General named Najenda who managed to convince Akame to defect to the rebels. After being swayed by her words, Akame abandoned the Empire though her actions caused an intense rivalry to form with her fellow assassin and sister Kurome where the two had a mutual desire to end the life of the other.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Akame was a young girl with long black hair that reached down to her knees and red eyes. Typically, she was seen wearing a dark sleeveless tank top with a white collar and red tie along with a red belt as well as a red side skirt covering a black pleated skirt. Akame also tended to wear long black socks, black shoes, red gauntlets and black gloves. She was also known as Akame of the Demon Sword Murasame.
On the surface, she was shown as being very serious and cold-hearted person with this stemming from the hellish training she and her sister went through at the hands of the Empire.
Despite her harsh nature, she was shown to care for her comrades and worried for their safety. Upon meeting Tatsumi, she put him through strict training in order to prepare him for combat. Akame said that she would only congratulate him upon the successful return from his first assassination. When Tatsumi returned, she inspected his body for any wounds in case his pride caused him to hide injuries that he could die from with Akame being glad he had survived. She came to ask him to always return from all his missions with him telling her that he would do so if she watched his back in the field.
Despite her skill, it was revealed that Akame was socially awkward.
Powers and abilities
Akame had been raised and trained by Gozuki who was one of the Four Rakshasa Demons who made her one of the Empire's most deadliest assassins for much of her childhood.
She was a Teigu wielder with her weapon taking the form of a long katana called One-Cut Killer: Murasame that was one of the 48 Imperial Arms. An ability of the weapon was that it introduced a poisonous curse into the body of the person it cut from which there was no antidote with it killing its target shortly afterwards.
