       By: Raven Nightwing Date: April 16, 2020, 3:13 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------

       May 15th, 2003
       AGE:
       16
       GENDER:
       Female
       SEXUAL ORIENTATION:
       Bisexual
       SPECIES:
       Human
       OCCUPATION:
       Akasha works as a front desk receptionist at night at the LaQua
       Spa Resort located in the Tokyo Dome. She's also a Tenth Grade
       student at T-A Private Girls Academy.
       HOBBIES:
       - Having Fun
       - Watching Movies
       - Playing Video Games
       - Living life to the fullest
       - Helping others feel comfortable about themselves
       PERSONALITY:
       Being an optimistic teenager that she is, Akasha is always one
       to enjoy some good old fashioned fun. She doesn't allow the fact
       that she is wheelchair-bound to stop her from living her life
       the way she wants it. The one thing she feels is thankful that
       she is alive so that her younger sister Athena wouldn't be left
       alone. She tries to encourage her sister to be more social and
       make as many friends as she possibly can because no one can
       predict when they'll leave from this world. And yes, Akasha is a
       very sociable person as well as outspoken and opinionated. She's
       not afraid to speak her mind during any situation she's faced
       with nor does she care whom she is talking to when she does it.
       Instead of wallowing in despair about her disability, she
       chooses to live life to the fullest, taking each opportunity
       presented to her by the horns if possible. At the same time, she
       tries to do her best to give advice to others that are much
       younger than herself who lack the self-confidence to believe
       that they can do or amount to anything because she believes that
       not to be true deep down.
       Everyone has something unique about themselves and it is up to
       them to find out what it is and bring the most out of it.
       Akasha's a very knowledgeable person and doesn't think that
       people need to do stupid things just to be or feel special when
       they're already special as there was a reason why everyone was
       made to be different. Akasha's more like a cheerleader for more
       classification. People actually do listen to her too. On a side
       note, besides cheering others on, she does enjoy the tactful
       hobby of playing video games and it is normally violent fighting
       games because she considers them to be so much cooler and a
       great stress reliever. Watching movies is also another favorite
       pastime of hers as she can always be found in front of the TV
       stuffing her face with popcorn watching any kind of movie.
       Despite having an honest and encouraging personality, there are
       some things about Akasha that people are not aware of. Some are
       but it is very little. One thing in particular that Akasha
       dislikes is being pitied by others because of her disability.
       She doesn't want to be looked down on because of her disability.
       It annoys her to no end and it's also the other reason why she
       tries to push herself to make more friends her own age so she
       won't feel as if she has to be burdened with taking care of her
       when it is hardly unnecessary.
       Part of her also feels that she should've died right along with
       her parents in the car crash but instead, she lived, causing her
       to have survivor's guilt. Her parents were killed on impact
       while she escaped by only losing the ability to use her legs.
       It's something that deep down, she hasn't truly gotten over but
       knows that their parents wouldn't want her to be sad, but to
       look out for her younger sister and to take care of her. She
       knows she may not be able to walk anymore like everyone else but
       that doesn't stop her from being Athena's big sister. However,
       because of her sister's constant smothering and worrying about
       her, she doesn't feel like the older sister but more or less the
       younger sister. She knows Athena won't stop worrying about her
       so she doesn't expect her to change and stop coddling her
       overnight. But she does find it annoying. Much like when other
       people get in her face and think they can hurt her with words in
       regards to her disability. She won't hesitate to tell them off
       if need be but half of the time she just ignores them. It is
       also known that Akasha is also shy around those that she admires
       or has a crush on. This isn't all that often this happens but
       she shows a more vulnerable side to herself where she's known to
       be slightly nervous and unsure of what to say because she thinks
       she'll come across sounding like an idiot.
       POWERS/ABILITIES:
       ----
       APPEARANCE:
       Before Akasha became wheelchair-bound, she stood at the height
       of 5'8'', making her a very tall girl at a young age which is
       something that's completely uncommon in Japan but something
       that's not particularly noticed now that she is confined to a
       wheelchair. Despite this, she is considered to be quite a
       beautiful young girl with brown hair that stops in the middle of
       her back, but she normally wears it up in a ponytail and pale
       violet eyes. One of the most noticeable aspects of her body
       (besides her inability to walk) that a lot of girls in her grade
       notice (younger girls included) are her breasts which can be
       described as c-cup. She wears a lot of casual clothes like
       skirts, shorts, pants, and capri pants. While on school grounds,
       Akasha wears the required girls uniform that is a dark gray
       uniform top with long sleeves (short during the summer and
       spring) with a sailor v neck collar with red stripes going down
       the middle of it and a small dark red bow underneath it. The
       skirt itself is also dark gray and it goes past her knees (if
       she was standing of course) and with it she wears white socks
       and black suede shoes.

       FACE CLAIM:
       Guilty Crown - Ayase Shinomiya
       CHARACTER HISTORY:
       Akasha was born as the oldest daughter of parents Rin Kusama and
       Amaya Kusama and the older sister to Athena Kusama. She grew up
       in your average family, maybe not a wealthy one but they were
       fairly well off. Her parents stayed married to one another for a
       little while after having her younger sister but split when
       Akasha was ten years old, the break up being a traumatic
       experience for Amaya because she loved her husband Rin so much
       but found it hard to forgive him after catching him in bed, in
       their house with another woman. It forced Amaya to grow a
       backbone and take care of her two daughters while Rin left the
       family. While he regretted his actions, he thought that
       reconciling by he and his ex-wife becoming friends on good terms
       would be a start as well as his way of apologizing to her. While
       Amaya and Rin worked on their 'friendship' Akasha was often put
       in charge of looking after Athena because she was the youngest
       and didn't have an understanding as to what was going on between
       their parents but Akasha knew that Athena missed their father
       very much and wanted him to come home.
       Until that incident, their parents hardly ever fought about
       anything. They'll have an occasional spat every now and then but
       it wasn't over anything that was entirely serious. And she and
       her sister grew up quite happy with one another. Which is why
       Akasha didn't understand why her father had an affair with
       another woman if he claimed to have loved their mother so much.
       But she didn't focus too much of her energy on figuring it out
       but instead helping out around the house, helping to take care
       of her sister while also trying to stay focused enough in
       school. Akasha was a very bright and intellectual child. Not
       smart like she'd have an IQ over three hundred but she was smart
       for someone her age. She understood the things around her that
       was going on more than the average child would. It's possible
       that this may have had something to do with her being forced to
       grow up and be strong and there for her sister and her mother.
       To not break down and cry when there were times she wanted to.
       Whether she was having a bad day or having trouble making
       friends with others, she kept it all to herself.
       As she got older, she took an interest in a lot of things in
       school such as sports as she was considered to be quite the
       tomboy. She was quite an active person, not liking the idea of
       sitting still for a long period of time, especially if she felt
       bored with something. She specially enjoyed having fun with her
       sister to take her mind off of things that were going on or just
       to spend time with her. Whether it was going to the movies,
       going shopping, just having a little girl fun. Akasha wasn't
       ashamed to hang out with her sister if it kept her from being
       depressed about their parents relationship. Personally, Akasha
       would've liked it if her parents had gotten back together but
       she wasn't putting all of her eggs in one basket on that. She
       just wanted to get through school and keep her mother and happy
       as much as possible because she hated seeing them sad. As much
       as possible she kept encouraging them to be happy and that
       things would work themselves out. Akasha always had an
       optimistic and cheerful personality. She spoke her mind when
       necessary but mostly tried to defuse situations before they get
       out of hand. She was like a referee and cheerleader all in one.
       Especially when it came to her friends in school. She's attended
       T-A Private Girls Academy ever since she was old enough to be
       enrolled and has made plenty of friends but like many friends,
       they all have their fair share of problems where they argue with
       one another over the stupidest of things. Clothes, jewelry,
       boys, etc. And every time she'd be there to tell them that such
       crap isn't important. Normally the arguments are defused before
       they start so she was glad about that. Now she couldn't help it
       when other girls had a tendency to run off at the mouth because
       they believed they were better than people like herself and
       others because they had money and boyfriends. Akasha knew her
       family wasn't picture perfect but like every family, they had
       their problems but things were starting to get better for them.
       By the time Akasha had turned fifteen, her parents had begun
       talking about getting back together, getting remarried and all
       that jazz. She couldn't be more happier for them. She was the
       first to be told this wonderful news when her parents had
       arrived together where she worked (Akasha had gotten a job to
       help out around the house when she was thirteen) and told her
       this. They also couldn't wait to tell Athena for they all knew
       she would be happy hear such a thing.
       That very same day they had picked Akasha up from work, they
       were on their way to pick up Athena from her friends house. They
       were on the way there but unfortunately never made it thanks to
       a truck running into the car, ramming into the side of it,
       making it flip a few times. Rin and Amaya were killed instantly
       but as for Akasha remained alive but at the cost of losing her
       ability to walk as her legs were crushed in the process. Since
       that day of her parents death, she'd questioned why she was
       alive, why didn't she die right along with her parents. But she
       knew that she had to be strong and not break down in front of
       her sister. Though she was unable to do so when she in the
       hospital recuperating and the only shoulder she had to cry on
       was her sister's. Athena had vowed to be there for her so that
       she wouldn't have to be the only strong one out of the two of
       them and so she dedicated her time to helping Akasha through her
       rehabilitation once she'd been released from the hospital. It
       became difficult for Akasha to adjust to her new life of having
       to get around with the use of a wheelchair but she knew she had
       her sister there for support.
       So for the next two years, she and her sister depended upon one
       another, getting an apartment together since they technically
       had no family that was willing to take them in or rather, wanted
       to deal with the 'burden' of taking care of Akasha now that she
       was wheelchair bound. Sure they felt bad but she was made to
       feel that there was nothing they could do to help when there
       was. So she started learning to help herself. She remained her
       usual cheerful self of course as she didn't allow her disability
       to keep her down or hold her back. She was alive. That's what
       mattered. She didn't understand why but she came to the
       conclusion that it was to take care of her sister because no one
       else possibly would. That was a responsibility she was willing
       to accept as it's not as if she's not had to help take care of
       her before when their mother was busy out working. Though Athena
       tends to smother Akasha way too much, hardly letting her have
       any fun if she considers it to be a 'danger' to her health and
       as much as possible she tries to tell her to make her own
       friends and not focus so much on taking care of her. Her
       injuries from two years ago had been since healed. She's
       accepted that she can never walk again but the last thing she
       wanted was pity from others.
       Since being wheelchair bound, she's lost a lot of friends but in
       the process, gained new ones who look past her disability to get
       to know the person that she is rather than just staring at her
       like some sort of alien with two heads. She had to deal with a
       lot of crap from other girls at T-A mocking her disability and
       calling her a freak of nature. Most of the time, Akasha ignores
       them but if they continue to push her buttons she will not
       hesitate going off on them to get them off her back. She's way
       more outspoken and tries to help others to be more confident in
       themselves rather than hate themselves or be made to feel that
       they're not worth living in this world. She tries to spread as
       much hope and advice to others as she possibly can but as a
       person she can only do so much. She is a sophomore student at
       T-A and aims to continue her education there as a university
       student when she does graduate. Akasha hopes to achieve a degree
       in Physical Therapy because she wishes to help others that are
       like her, this is what she desires. Akasha also still has her
       same job ever since she was much younger at the Tokyo Dome
       working as a night receptionist in the LaQua Spa Resort. She
       uses the money to provide for her and her sister even though
       Athena tells her it's not necessary and that she'll find a job
       but she tells her no all the time. She's still her happy and
       entertaining self because there's probably not a chance that
       Akasha will stop wanting to have fun and looking on the brighter
       side of things for herself and others around her.
