What people will see at first: (http://a1.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/profile01/143/79106c1733b84bd0ae1712058ee79842/p.jpg)<br/>What people will see when she comes out of her shell: (http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk137/HaibaneR/KitaKoshigaya%20School/Students/Aiko_Nakamura.jpg)<br/><br/>Name: Aki Chiyo<br/>Age: 16<br/>Build: Thin but curvy, 5'7"<br/>Hair color: Brownish Black<br/>Eyes: Dark Brown<br/><br/>Aki was born in Tokyo and lived a fairly good life, but felt herself inferior to her peers from an early age. Being taller than many of the girls, and having a different body type made her the subject of much ridicule that affected her to the point of causing her to hide herself behind her hair, baggy clothing, anything to make herself invisible. Her father is a top company official who is almost never home, and her mother is a housewife who spends most of the time trying to "fix" Aki by suggesting diets or ways to make herself more presentable.<br/><br/>Aki is quite like a goth, favoring dark colors, morbid stories, and grim holidays. She finds joy in researching things like cults, studying anatomical figures and much to the dismay of her parents, will spend  much of her time in her room in the dark watching gory horror movies. She only seems happiest when she can truly be herself behind closed doors, feeling that people will reject her for being ugly or too dark. She legitimately feels herself to be unattractive and can't stand it when people try to look at her face or try to touch her. In her mind, if someone touches her and finds her to be as hideous as she does, they'll make her stay and poke fun at her.<br/><br/>Aki has a love of learning outside of things that go bump in the night, and chose to also become fluent in English (not that she speaks much in either tongue unless forced by her parents or other authority figures) Her friends are her movies, her creepy figures and her own thoughts, she's too shy to go out and make real friends. Still, learning English proved to be useful when her father announces they'll be moving to America. This doesn't thrill her at all, she knows kids in American schools can be just as vicious if not moreso than those in her native schools.<br/><br/>All Aki needs is someone to help her understand how pretty she is, how it's ok to be a little weird and dark, and make her feel like she is worth hanging around, she might just prove to be not only a good friend, but a great friend. And to one lucky person, possibly more.
