Akina is unable to speak properly from birth due to a deformation in her vocal cords. She can make sharp noises such as squeaks, grunts, and growls. But nothing beyond that.

She moved to the city from the snowy north, this was out of the ordinary for Kitsune as they normally make dens in forest and not caves.

On her first day Akina noticed the distinct dislike of monsters by humans, learning the terms Hallowed and Ankle Grabber. Both refer negatively to those with monster blood.

She became friends with Batton quickly because of Batton's ability to hear her thoughts. Making communication easier. One of Akina's best skills is snapping, which has a decibel level on par with a car horn.
