Eiri Akabane

"I don't care if you take my soul, just... give me the power to avenge my clan!"

- Eiri Akabane to Chiya Sitri.

Eiri Akabane is the Rook of Chiya Sitri.

Appearance
Eiri is a tall and thin teenager with pale skin and long legs. Her most eye catching traits are her scarlet hair and blood red eyes. She wears a modified version of Kuoh Academy girl's uniform where she forgoes the black button-down corset and shoulder cape for the boys' blazer, and wears black and white striped thigh-high stockings.

At home she wears casual clothes consisting of a black shirt showing her shoulders, with the words I Love Kill written on it, as well as a pair of very short blue hot pants, as well as a pair of high-heeled black shoes.

Personality
Eiri comes across as uncaring and detached, most of the time wearing a calm and bored expression. She can be quite scary, as she doesn't hesitate to threaten people she finds annoying; however, she shows a different side to her friends. She is also an incredibly sensitive and emotional girl, who can't help but empathize with others, which made her job of an assassin difficult.

History
Eiri comes from a clan of Assassins that existed for over 200 years. She grew up trained to be an assassin just like the rest of her family members. When she was 14, her entire clan was massacred by a rival clan with her being the only survivor. She had been on the run from her assailants for months until they eventually caught up to her, only for Chiya to step in and kill her assailants. Chiya then hears out her circumstance and offered her his help in getting her revenge, in exchange for her becoming his Servant.

Equipment
Crimson Buster: It is a Sacred Gear that allows Eiri to cover her arms and legs with hardened crimson leathery substance. Her knuckles and ankles are covered with rough octagonal shaped stones, and her elbows and knees are covered with three roughly kite shaped stones with zagged edges. Her fingers are about six inch long and are turned into sharp, gleaming molten orange talons. The talons are sharp enough to cut through anything but Holy Swords and Demonic Swords at the present.


 * Increased Strength and Speed: Crimson Buster increases Eiri’s strength and speed by a factor of two.

Balance Breaker: Rusty Nailed Bloody Princess: Eiri is covered in a full body armor made of hardened molten orange leathery substance. Her left chest, over the heart, is a hexagon chest plate made of stone. Her face is mostly featureless except for one obtuse angle triangle shaped white irisless eye, and an oni horn pokes upwards from the centre of her forehead.


 * Super Strength: Her strength increases to be equal to an opponent stronger than High Class Devil but weaker than an Ultimate Class Devil.
