Nami Akane

Nami Akane is the daughter of the mermaid girl from The Red Candles and the Mermaid. She is an extremely shy and anxious girl who feels she can only express herself through her artwork. Though she is somewhat content with her destiny, since it allows appreciation for her artwork, she is aware of the injustices in forcing students down a path they don't want to take.

Personality
At the obvious first glance, Nami is a typical shrinking violet. She rarely speaks, and when she does it's barely at a volume anyone can hear. She never speaks to people she doesn't know well, even if they initiate a conversation with her. This has caused some to see her as cold or snobby, even though in reality she's just too shy to reply or continue a conversation. She hates being the center of attention, and if put on the spot, she'll definitely panic. Because of her troubles with articulating, she doesn't have many friends and isn't a very social person at all.

However, when it comes to her artwork, Nami brightens up considerably. She loves her artwork, because she sees it as the only outlet she has to express herself and communicate her feelings to everyone. Even though she's too shy to properly socialize with strangers, she has no problems with letting everyone see her art. And even if someone doesn't particularly like her art, it still makes her happy that she was able to touch them in some way. In her free time, she's almost always painting or sketching- whether it be the view outside her dorm or something as abstract as her feelings at the moment.

Once you get to know Nami, you'll see that she's a tenderhearted girl with a very optimistic outlook on life. She loves her friends dearly, and takes a sisterly role to those close to her. She always knows just the right advice, and will selflessly go to any limits for those she loves. She hates injustice, and hates that she's too softspoken to take an active role against bullies or mean-spirited people, but has a special spot for those who are frequent targets of bullying or teasing and will go to her current social limits to be especially kind to them.

In addition to her social anxiety, Nami also has a tendency to panic and distress over even the smallest of things. Though she'd like to, she's never able to put on a strong facade and her fear shows up too easily. She has many fears (heights, spiders, dragons, most chariots, places with too much sand, etc.) and each of them have the potential to provoke an especially horrified response from her. She's actually very insecure with how easily scared and panicked she is, and wishes to conquer this part of her.

Appearance
Nami is a fair-skinned young girl of Japanse descent. Her dark, straight-textured hair falls to her waist. She has a round face, usually clouded with an anxious grimace, with thick, dark brows, reddish-brown eyes, and a cherry-complected lips. She is fairly tall for her age, with a lithe, speedy built and permanently wobbly legs supported with a wooden walking cane. When in her normal mermaid form, her tail is carp-like with shimmering golden scales.

Family
Nami is not familiar with her mom, as she left Nami with a human couple when Nami was just a baby- as par Nami's destiny. Though the couple took well enough care of Nami, she is not especially close with them. They seem more attached to the artwork she draws for them to thank them for taking her in than they do Nami herself. She discovered long ago that they were actually selling the artwork, so Nami stopped painting personal pictures for them and began painting simply what she thought would sell. Because of this, Nami steeped into a depression, feeling unable to truly express herself and was not able to form any kind of permanent with the couple. She is happy to be at Ever After High, where she feels can paint and draw for herself again.

Despite all this, Nami truly believes that her mom is somehow watching over her and cares about her deeply.
