She will speak in class when called but hates public speaking in general, or grabbing the attention of a gathering. She appreciates silliness in her free time and loves cute things but with schoolwork she is very disciplined. Study comes first with Akiko, always. One of the mundane tasks she likes the best is cooking, which is likely why she became so skilled with potions - following science and/or a recipe makes all kinds of logical sense. Charms are a different story, though, and she often finds that she needs help with the more spontaneous magic from her sister. The one time she can bring herself to speak out beyond the classroom setting is if she witnesses a wrongdoing of some kind, she won't sit by and witness bullying.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Aki and Mina weren't always twins, originally they were a rare set of triplets. The two had a younger sister, Yoshiko. But being the youngest of triplets, she had a difficult time both in the womb and once she was born. Her growth was stunted, and a few of her internal organs hadn't developed properly. Yoshiko's lungs were poor, and she had to use an inhaler almost every day. Especially after playing too much.<br/><br/>Not only that, but her parents were quite strict on the triplets. Mina never really followed the rules they set down. While Aki never said much about it, Yoshi would often ask her to listen to their parents so all three of them wouldn't get in trouble just because Mina would act out. Mina would always shrug it off and do whatever she pleased.<br/><br/>One summer day, at the request of their father, the girls were cleaning out the pool in their backyard. Mina protested, stating that it was too hot to do outside work. But their father insisted, and shooed them out of the house. While working, Yoshi started having a bit of trouble breathing. Mina and Aki sat her down and rushed inside to get her inhaler.<br/><br/>While they were looking around, their father began yelling at them and asking why they were in the house. The girls tried to explain that Yoshi needed her inhaler, but their father continued to talk over them. Mina finally screamed back at her father that they were trying to help Yoshi. Their father replied by smacking her cheek and sending them back out. Luckily, Aki had managed to find the inhaler.<br/><br/>Back outside, Mina and Aki were terrified to find that Yoshi had fallen in the pool. Mina jumped in the pool and Aki ran inside to get their parents. Mina managed to pull Yoshi to the surface, and their parents rushed outside and pulled her out of the pool. They called an ambulance and preformed CPR while they waited for the paramedics. But it wasn't enough, and Yoshi had passed away. She was only 9 years old. Since then, Mina has blamed her father for her sister's death. Not long after, the family moved to France. Their parents claimed it was "for a fresh start".<br/><br/>When the twins got into high school, their powers began to manifest. The resident "cool clique" had decided the foreigners were their new targets. Day after day, the same old teasing and torment grated on the sisters. During lunch one day, they reached their breaking point. The two girls stood their group against the clique. There was a fight, and somewhere in the midst of it all Aki fell to the floor. Mina, being fiercely protective of her big sister, stepped in front of the kids to shield her.<br/><br/>That's when things got weird. Mina let out an ear piercing scream, yelling at them to stop. An overhead light came crashing down, and trays of food flew off the table and hit the group of kids. Mina looked down at her sister, and saw her screaming as well. She grabbed Aki's hand and pulled her up off the floor. None of the kids really knew what happened. Some said it must have been an earthquake. But from that day on, nobody dared to tease them again.<br/><br/><strong>Family:</strong>Her twin sister, Minako<br/>Mother, Kotone (Squib)<br/>Father, Hideki (Muggle)<br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong>gourmet food, mathematics, chemistry, potion-making, creating recipes, writing, soft voices, dim lighting, cleanliness<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>surprises, discrimination, dishonesty, being put on the spot, not having a chance to practice what she's learned<br/><strong>Fears:</strong>being alone, losing her sister, absolute darkness<br/><strong>Favorite Animal(s):</strong>foxes, rabbits, cats and deer<br/><strong>Favorite Color(s):</strong>blue, pink and yellow<br/><br/><div style="text-align: right;">    D.A.D.A.<br/>    H.O.M.<br/>    Ancient Runes<br/>    Astronomy<br/>    Potions<br/>    Charms<br/>    Alchemy<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;"><strong>Player name:</strong> Spiral Spider</span></div>
