Name: Akane Sawatari
Gender: Female
Backstory: Akane was an ordinary girl but struggled to fit in during her teenage years. She craved power and purpose. When the Snake Devil offered her a contract in exchange for her fingernails, she eagerly accepted.
Her eyes turned red, reflecting the contract. Her family recoiled from her in fear and disgust upon seeing her new devilish appearance and threw her out of her house. Akane realized there was no going back. She had become a monster. Bitter at the world that spurned her, Akane embraced the devils. She hunted them for money and contact. She made a deal with the Gun Devil for power. Cruel and ruthless, Akane toys with humans with her snake devil abilities. Yet deep down, she remains the lonely teen desperate for love. Akane has ties to the yakuza crime syndicates through her devil hunting work. Her sinister powers and skills serve them well, even as she satisfies her own thirst for purpose in a world that abandoned her. Akane is trapped between the human she was and the monster she chose to be.
Appearance: Akane is a petite young woman that has short blonde hair with dark brown roots, and her red eyes possess slit pupils like a snake. She also have ‘lizard-like’ bifid tongue. She usually has a neutral or bored expression, with her hands in her hoodie's pockets. She normally wears black shorts and a red oversized hoodie. She also wears orange and white Nike Airmax 97s.
Personality: Although Akane is normally calm and cool headed, but strong emotions can sometimes take over her, making her feel panicked, excited, or moved by other intense feelings. She can be very cruel and cynical. Especially with those who have wronged her. She has trust issues because of her parents who rejected her. She likes using sarcasm to tease or hide her true emotions and enjoys engaging in clever banter. Akane has a tomboyish nature, often displaying casual and laid-back behavior that's typically associated with boys. She rarely smiles, but when she does, it's radiant. Her smile hints at the ordinary girl she once was, still lurking beneath the surface of her scarlet, slitted eyes and the coil of her snake-like devil.
Goal: Bring Denji's heart to Gun Devil.
Physique: Slender build.
Abilities:
Snake Devil Contract: Akane has a contract with the Snake Devil that allows her to summon it at will through the following commands:
"Swallow it whole": Akane fully summons the Snake Devil to absorb the target.
"Spit it out": After being absorbed into the Snake Devil, the target being is restored and can be used to fight alongside Sawatari after speaking the command followed by the absorbed being's name. However, releasing absorbed being caused her nose to bleed which indicates an internal damage due to sacrifice.
"Tail": Sawatari is also able to summon the tail of the Snake Devil.
In exchange for using each command, Sawatari loses one fingernail, leaving the sensitive nail bed and matrix exposed. Additionally, use of the Snake Devil's abilities requires hand motions, so, if her hands are restrained, she cannot use the abilities.
