Appearance

She has messy, neck-length light-colored yellow hair with asymmetrically split bangs. At the top, she has dark roots of black that is swept across the left side of her head. During the Shibuya Incident, Her hair is styled more neatly, her unruly messy strands are now trimmed more evenly at the ends, only a few strands of hair poking out every now and then, she also wears a blue earring, with two circles and three small rods piercing the bigger one.

Serving as one of jujutsu high's managers, she wears a jet-black long-sleeved vest, with three buttons and two pockets on the lower sides, under this, she wears a visibly long-sleeved white shirt and a red tie, she wears greyish-black pants and black heels (brown in the anime).

Personality

Akari is a kind and caring person but is quite serious when it comes to working. However, she does have limits to her tolerance as shown when she grew rather short-tempered when the First Years didn't answer their phones when she tried calling them. However, she does tend to show concern for others, such as when she made a cover-up about Yasohachi Bridge so that the female civilian who had its curse wouldn't panic.[1] She also didn't want Maki Zenin and Nobara Kugisaki to head off to break the veil right away, despite being accompanied by a Special Grade 1 Naobito.[2] Even though Haruta was after her, she asked Kugisaki to not push herself. Once she was rescued from the former by Nanami Even though she was badly injured, she made sure to ask him if Ijichi was still alive.[3]

She is also shown to be quite efficient at her job, during their investigation about the curse of Yasohachi Bridge, Nitta came up with the perfect alibi when a civilian she and the first years, were questioning started to suspect that they were talking about the curse.[4] Even after she was kicked in the sternum and stabbed by Shigemo multiple times, she prioritized in crawling into a nearby escalator, while a weakened Nobara bought her time, which proved to be the right call, since Haruta would've held her hostage when Nanami arrived.[5]
