Satomura Akane (EFZ)

Introduction

Akane is an elegant fighter who uses her shapeshifting hair as a weapon. Her friend Shiko is always eager to help out when called for. Her hair gives her a decent range, and her multiple Leaps give her a sense of unpredictability.

Akane is actually one of the heroines of ONE, a visual novel produced by Tactics in 1998. During her childhood, one of her closest friends somehow became involved in the "Everworld" and vanished right before her eyes. Her friend's existence was completely erased from everyone except her. During ONE, Akane learns that Kouhei (the protagonist) is going to vanish, and she starts to avoid him because she is afraid to see the tragedy again...
