Character Description (tell us what your character looks like):

Akane Nao is just barely hitting 6'2" in height, though she is thin and has broad shoulders like a boy. Though she is not flat chested her body is so thin that her clothes appear to be loose fitting and this often makes her appear to be so. At a first glance, most presume that Nao is either an adult or a male due to her short silver hair and mature stature. Her face, however, is soft like that of a young woman's and her silvery blue eyes seem to pierce through her boyish outlook. Her wardrobe consists of only black and white sweaters or long sleeved shirts and denim pants with one or two dresses that no one sees.

Character Personality (how does your character thinks, reacts or acts):

Nao is a reserved character that holds very few close friends and therefore speaks minimally unless spoken to first. This makes it difficult for her to make friends, which is ultimately what she hopes for as someone with a secret to hide. Nao is very quick-witted and sarcastic due to her open sense of humor. Though most people don't realize the sarcasm and take her comments seriously. She is also very open minded, but realistic. She will not hesitate to tell you the truth, regardless of how offensive it may be. She has a very "tell it like it is" look on life. Nao poses as a male due to the fear of being teased because of her appearance as a woman who looks like a boy. She tends to shy away from others hoping that no one will realize her secret. However, what most people don't realize is that Nao is actually a fun-loving and kind-hearted person. She puts the feelings of others in front of her own and often times this leads her to self destruction. She is also a hopeless-romantic, one of the many overwhelming qualities her heart possesses. However, her feelings are often held inside because of her "situation" with gender identity. But most of all Nao is very intuitive and thoughtful. She sees deeply into people and situations and is very gifted at figuring others out. She likes observe and solve conflicts and situations between others for fun, but not make this known to them. One major factor into her reserved nature is the fact that Nao suffers from insomnia. Her mind often replays bad situations from her childhood and she sleeps very little because of this.

Character Background (your character history before s\he joined the Academy):

Nao is the eldest child in a noble blood family with all female heirs. Unfortunately, her family is deep in traditional values and she is often cursed and ridiculed for not being born a male and yet looking like one. She strives hard to please her father, but he is strict and inattentive to her doings. Her mother refrains from contact with her out of shame. She is very close with her sister, however, who is four years her inferior and the two are often in contact. Because of the hardship at home Nao made the decision to attend Cross Academy hoping for a better life among other vampires.

What are your character's special skills and unusual abilities (if you're human) or your powers (if you're vampire)? Please keep this at least somewhat faithful to VK canon, don't start making up powers that would completely make no sense in the series.

Nao has no special abilities other than that she can read deeply into the thoughts and feelings of others and takes those feelings as her own (IE. She does not read minds but rather feels what someone feels or thinks what they think) and that she can control her appetite for blood. Sometimes she even knows what someone is about to think/feel before they do. However, she cannot control or change what people think or feel so the power often comes up useless. She relies more on her intelligence and intuitiveness to figure things out.

How does your character feel about her\his vampiric state (if you're vampire) or How would your character react if s/he was turned into a vampire (if you're human)?

Nao is indifferent to her state as a vampire, but often feels that life would be easier if she did not carry a noble bloodline. She gets along well with others of any type, vampire or human, and finds her state as a noble vampire to be irrelevant to who she is. Likewise, she does not like to drink the blood of the living and spent years training herself to control her urges to the point where she barely notices blood at all. The last thing Nao wishes is to harm an innocent, human or not.

Character Family and Friends:

Father: Akane Misoka.
Mother: Akane Risa
Sister: Akane Naomi

Character Goals:

To make everyone believe that she is a man so that she is not teased for her height - but at the same time, to find love that she can release all of her secrets to.

Other Character Information (hobbies, quirks, and other random information) OPTIONAL:

Nao enjoys sweets, music, and theatre. She wanted to be an actor growing up. She is now a photographer and carries around a Nikon D2x often snapping pictures of random things and people (without their permission.) Also, she has a habbit of pursing her lips when she is angry or thinking, though she doesn't realize this. She is also easily frustrated easily and is picky about her hairstyle.

Sample Roleplay: (Provide a well written sample roleplay about your character. The sample has to be at least two paragraphs or more, this shows us how well you can roleplay and know that you are fit for this character if you're applying for a canon character.)

Nao sat quietly sat in the shadow of one of Cross Academy's many pillars amusing herself with the thoughts of Day Class students -obviously curious about her presence.

Why am I out in the day? Shouldn't I be asleep? Why am I just sitting here?- The thoughts of others became her own.

As the Day Class gawked on, Nao was impatiently fiddling with the power button on her camera. There had been no inspiration all morning - no interesting situations, no emotions portrayed worth photographing. Nothing but the curious stares of passer-bys.

Whist trapped in her impatience a new thought rattled her mind.

I don't belong out here. - It said.

It was harmless, at a first impression, much like ay of the other thoughts Nao ever heard during her many trips into the daylight. However, as a sudden feeling of malice washed over her Nao couldn't help but feel that it was time for her to go.

She rose, careful to appear inconspicuous to those around her, and placed the camera's strap around her neck. Cautiously she glanced around hoping to catch a glimpse of the thinker in question but no one around had any look upon their faces that might signal anger. However, as she turned to walk, Nao noticed the image of a silver haired boy, who looked much like herself, standing at the far end of the corridor with a sharp glare distorting his features. The feeling of hate grew stronger inside of her.

"What does this guy have against me..." She thought to herself, once again playing at the power button on the camera.

Nao looked up, trying to appear as if she did not feel the radiating hate, and took a closer look at the boy before her. He was around her height and had a similar build with silver hair and opalescent purple eyes. It was right away obvious that had he not been staring daggers is was quite possible this man would be very good-looking.

"I wonder what he looks like when he smiles..." she thought distantly.

Nao then lifted her camera and quickly snapped a picture of the silver haired boy only to swiftly turn and walk away, ignoring the look of astonishment plastered across his face.
