age: 25
birthday: October 10
gender: Trans female
pronouns : She/her
orientation: Straight
affiliation: Konohagakure
rank: Jonin
height: 5'3"Akane is a short with a plump build. She has the typical tan skin of a Uzumaki, but has inherited her father's blue eyes. Akane keeps her long red hair held up up in a bun whenever training or on missions, but let's it hang free when off duty. Although she keeps up her fashionable appearance even when on duty, she aims for practical as well as stylish clothing, preferring a dress that's easy to move in while also being made of a thick material that resists cutting and cushions impact. Despite her need for practicality, she does insist on showing of her cleavage. Getting that cleavage didn't come easy; she's not about to hide it.
weight: 180 lbs
ConfidentAkane radiates confidence, with just a hint of mischief. She's known to be dependable and hard working, someone you can trust to get the job done without any setbacks. Akane enjoys being relied upon, finding comfort in using her skills to help others. She's quite serious, but will show a mischievous side as well, mostly in teasing others affectionately.
Diligent
Patient
Emotional
Stubborn
Overprotective
Those who get close enough for Akane to let her guard now, find she is more tired than she lets on. She's very quiet in private, constantly lost in thought. She craves physical contact in these moments, whether it be cuddling or just sitting shoulder to shoulder.
CHILDHOOD
Akane idolized her mother from a young age and would follow her everywhere, even sneaking into her office when she wasn't allowed a few times. Due to this, Akane was exposed to war talk quite frequently and even witnessed her mother breaking down in tears in private. She was aware of the toll of war in a way many children were spared, due to the war being fought outside of the Land of Fire's borders. Akane's bright disposition was worn down by this, and she developed into a rather somber child.
WAR TIME
Akane's rigorous training allowed her to move through the academy classes quickly, until she graduated at age 10. She was immediately placed on a squadron and sent out to the field. Akane's team primarily handle reconnaissance and supply shipments. Although they didn't see front line action, they did face many dangers. They often had to move through hostile territory, and even occasionally within enemy borders. During a reconnaissance mission, Akane's squadron discovered a company of soldiers preparing to attack one of Konohagakure's camps. There was not time to warn their allies before the attack without something to delay the enemy. Akane was crucial in this delay, utilizing her clans adamantine sealing chains to create a barrier capable to preventing the enemy from breaching the camp. This feat earned her the rank of chunin and a reputation that persists to this day, at the cost of some severe chakra exhaustion that left her hospitalized for several months.
AFTER THE WAR
The war left Akane with a great deal of trauma. In the aftermath of the armistice, she struggled to accept that the war was over. She often took missions to patrol the borders, paranoid of an attack. Her position as the Hokage's daughter and a war hero put an end to this, when Akane was designated as a diplomat. She was sent primarily to Iwagakure, in a a show of good will and respect. Her time as a diplomat, helped her accept that it was a time of peace. She began working through the trauma, and that bright personality began to reawaken.
PRESENT DAY
Akane has taken a break from her diplomatic work to act as a genin squad leader. She chose to switch career paths to watch over her young cousin, who she requested be placed on her team. Akane is very protective of her squad and hesitant to take on combat missions with them. She feels 12 year olds should not be endangering their lives. She often speaks openly against the use of young genin in battle and is pushing for restrictions against it.
Akane has always idolized her mother as the pinnacle of womanhood, strength, and compassion. Her mother had always accepted her, even helping her transition once Akane made her gender clear. It's because of her mother that she chose to become a kunoichi and strives to maintain peace in the shinobi nations.

Cousin, Akiko Uzumaki
Akane adores Akiko, seeing her as a little sister figure. She completely dotes on her cousin, showering her with affection and gifts. Akane does find Akiko's optimistic and cheerful outlook to be a bit naïve, but she feels it's something to be protected and cherished.
