Akai Holland

[akai]

Name: Akai Holland 
Age: 17
Appearance: Akai is quite short. Her hair is cut short, and is spiky at the back. Her Eyes are green and  her skin is fair. She had a very childish face, especially when she's grinning or pouting. Akai is of fairly average build, height and weight, if not slightly underweight due to how difficult it is to come by food often as she should. You could say she was pretty, not stunning, but very pretty. She only owns a few pairs of clothes, the most frequently worn being a midriff stripy shirt with a little bandanna sown into the hem. She favours three quarter length shorts, or shorter shorts. She will never wear anything too frilly, nor will she be caught dead in a dress or skirt of any kind.

Personality: With a raring ego and a keen sense of adventure, this devilish little traveller if full of confidence and pride. She likes to be seen and heard and has a tendency to make rash, quick decisions that lead her astray. As irresponsible as she may seem, Akai can take care of herself. She enjoys swordplay, is very light on her feet and her tomboyish nature meant that she was used to hanging around boys as a child, rather than other girls. She is surprisingly level headed, and insults roll off her like water. However she is very naive of the worlds evils. You'd think, due to having a late pirate as a father she'd be a little more savvy, but she seems to think that nothing bad could possibly happen to her, and life is a game! One that she's good at!.

On a deeper level Akai is a trustworthy person. She is not as tough as she makes out to be, and does not take rejection too well, as she had been shunned in the past, in her mind, by both of her parents. If you befriend her, and stab her in the back this is the deepest of betrayals. She will see it as her childhood all over again. She is scared of getting too close to people for exactly that reason.

Bio:
Her father was a ragged Pirate by the name if Captain Xin Holland. He would sail the seven seas with his own crew. Her mother was of Royalty, Lady Aisha Macay. Their romance was fleeting and very forbidden. Soon the Pirate was off again and he did not see his daughter grow up until seven years later when he returned to the same port. By that time Akai was the perfect princess. Anyone could tell how much she hated it, especially considering she knew who her father was. She wanted out of the dresses and into her armour. Every day she practices swordplay. When her father returned, he taught his daughter a lot. He told her stories of the world and of fierce battles on the sea. He taught her how to really fight with a blade, and he left her his. His crew had been killed in a battle at sea, and he lived as a nobal man and finally married Akai's mother. This was all that helped her survive.

But her mother hated it. She hated how the ex-pirate was poisoning their daughters mind with his 'riffraff' and teaching her how to be a pirate. So she asked him to leave and he did. His yearning for the ocean was too strong and so he left to fashion himself another crew. But he would always write to her. She would find a bird with a note attached to it's leg fly to her mothers house every now and then. And so she came to forgive him. She still had his blade after all. And she liked being on her own. So much so that she had run away at the age of fourteen. Surviving on her own all this time was quite an accomplishment indeed. She did start out with some of her mothers gold that she had stolen, but after that she worked hard to earn her pay and travelled around the world. She longs to go out to sea on board her own ship one day with her own crew. One day she'll be a captain. Captain Holland the 2nd!
