[attr="class","text"] [attr="class","header"]Akihiko [break]Honoka Sometimes it's the missed notes that are more telling than the ones being played [attr="class","header"]Appearance
Akihiko is rather small for his age standing at a meagre five foot four inches tall, with strikingly piercing emerald-coloured eyes, and long blonde hair which is usually left freely lying on his back but if he does decide to tie it back it's usually with an embroidered piece of silk that matches whatever outfit he decides to wear that day. He also has quite a slender frame to the point that a person may think that he would break if he moved in the wrong way even in the slightest. In actuality, his body is quite toned and athletic thanks to the activities he finds himself doing, this, however, goes unseen due to the clothing that he wears. As for clothing, he prefers to wear lighter colours that have detailed embroidery that he creates by himself, his style keeps to that of his homeland and will only wear Western clothing under distress and protest. [attr="class","header"]Personality Akihiko is a rather complex person who prefers his own company to that of others because he has to almost split who he is into two people due to his daily life. He feels like he's always on the edge of a sword and one small slip will destroy the fragile balance that he has built for himself so he rarely lets his guard down even around his family. He is a loving and kind person in general who enjoys teasing his siblings and getting it back in return and works hard in both his musical profession and that of a tailor but so one doesn't bleed into the other he has put up some safeguards. While he is an 'idol' he uses a ring his elder sister Sumire gifted him on his sixth birthday to change his appearance (for social/plot only) so he can have a normal life outside of the spotlight. When like this he seems to be more outgoing to the point of being almost bubbly to everyone around him although it is clear that he has a true passion for his art and is devoted to it this side of him truly drains him and so he needs time on his own. On the other hand, while at home he seems quite the opposite, he comes across as a shy clutz who can't do anything right no matter how he tries to those who don't know him. [attr="class","header"]History Akihiko's early life was a tad unusual as he began life with the entirety of his family in the Far East where he had begun to learn his family's trade and business. In the beginning, he pushed back, he knew it was important to learn it but he didn't want to do it, he was a child after all he wanted to be outside playing with his friends rather than being inside playing with what he saw were musty fabrics. His father made sure he learned the error of his ways quickly and that he was to respect the profession that put a roof over his head, it was a lesson he learned well and never dared challenge his family on it again. Where he did have an eye for patterns it was something that he found boring finding that his gifts more lay with embroidery. Embroidery came to him as natural as breathing and so it was nurtured as such. Outside of being a skilled tailor he also seemed to be a musical prodigy being able to play pretty much any instrument he picked up with next to no difficulty. It wasn't all that long before he had taken to writing his own music and even writing lyrics to the music he wrote. As a bit of fun, he would put on shows for his family in the garden but it soon got the attention of others and so his father had him put on shows for people. In the beginning, he found it fun but eventually it began to drain him as he had no peace and people bothered him even when he was outside playing. It got to the point that he would keep himself locked inside of his room only exiting to do his work. Even if someone requested him for a consultation he would refuse and break down into tears because more often than not his clients would comment on his music and when he would play again. It was due to this that someone else would do the consultation and tell him the order in which he would work within his bedroom to fulfil. At the age of six on his birthday he was woken up by his sister Sumire who gave him his most treasured gift even to this day. It was a blue jade ring that allowed him to change his appearance so that he could continue with both his passion for music and have his normal life. He guessed that because he was becoming more and more withdrawn it was starting to concern her and so she saved her allowance for the gift. He hugged her so tight that day and thanked her for giving him back his life. Even with the gift he didn't pick up an instrument instead he just kept writing music and practising dancing inside his room. Eventually, the majority of his family moved to Clover, he was so young he didn't fully understand why they were moving and threw a fit over it. He had a life there with friends he didn't want to give up, for the longest time he was inconsolable regardless of what said to him. The move happened and for a good long time he refused to come out of his new room or even do work, he felt so isolated in a world that he no longer knew. He knew that others in his family felt the same way but he was still very young. Even his father's harsh words and punishments wouldn't get him to change his attitude this time and he was to return to their homeland since that was apparently what he wanted. His mother not wanting his son sent away finally took him out just the two of them to Sivret Lake and they had a heart to heart, she understood that he missed his friends and the life he knew but she said it was also there that made him so miserable that he refused to ever exit his room. That it had taken the love, passion and joy from her little boy and she feared the worst if he returned to that darkness. She explained that this was a new chance for him to have a life that he wanted, that he could sing, play music, dance and do the things that he had been missing while still being a tailor. This gave him pause because he knew eventually people would find out regardless as he would practice. She kissed his forehead and told him that he would find a way to have both if they both meant something to him. It took a lot of time for him to understand what she meant but that one conversation stopped him throwing fits and even had him apologise for how he had been behaving. Now he found the balance that he needed, he was a black-haired, sapphire-eyed male idol who was outgoing and loved his fans when he was dealing with music while at home he kept his natural appearance and came off as a shy and withdrawn clutz who seemingly didn't have a musical bone in his body.
