Public Description

Akira's smiling face has been a familiar sight in Amber since Corwin and Dara were crowned. She enjoys castle life and is always dressed in the latest fashions from the city, or from the various Shadow worlds she visits over the years. Championing several public medical facilities, she actively promotes the distribution of basic health care to the less fortunate.

Akira sits at one end of a long sofa, leaning against the arm. The furniture is antique and of high quality, varnished to dark brown to complement the earthy colours of the cushioned back and seat. The intricate designs of both wood and fabric reveal the creator's passion for their work, their attention to detail and love of their craft. The delicate beauty of the piece hints at hidden strengths.

A table of a similar style stands next to the sofa and Akira's elbow rests upon it, her hand held close to her cheek, fingers almost touching her face. She is slim and of average height, her auburn hair caught back and piled high in a Georgian style that gives her soft, gentle features a slightly angular look, enhancing her elegance and allure. The tight fitting bodice of her dress is brown and the neckline sweeps low. Her left shoulder and both arms are also bare, revealing lightly tanned and smooth skin. One hand rests in her lap among the liquid folds of her skirt, the vibrant oranges, reds and yellows of the material shimmering together like the rising sun pooling over shadowed hills.

Her expression is one of intense curiosity and more than a little intrigue. In stark contrast to the autumn colours in the candlelit room, her eyes are very blue and she watches the artist with a faint, almost playful smile. It seems at any moment she will laugh and dance from view, as if paused only for the instant the artist needs to capture her essence.

In that instant, those eyes pierce the canvas. They look beyond the confines of the picture, seeking and then studying everything they behold, yet all the while revealing a flash of pain buried deep inside long ago, brought to the surface fleetingly to mingle with an unyielding determination.
