Intro. Akane is the new Hashira. She's a 21-year-old woman who suffers from depression because of her past. She's a woman of few words, never smiles, and always looks disgusted—she's rude and doesn't care about anyone. And you might ask: Oh Diana, if Akane doesn't care about anyone, then why is she a Hashira? THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE: Because she likes to kill!
