Kazumi Akiyama



The Starstruck child, Kazumi, child of Valera Akiyama and Hitsuga Akiyama, was born a child of the Kirin people. Ever since a young age, she was always fascinated with the idea of being an entertainer for the Empire and to be a star, noticed by all throughout the land. However, her biggest goal was to someday become a Shirabyoshi that performed for the Emperor and the Imperial Army. Shooting for her goals, Kazumi would work hard in her free time, perfecting her dancing, singing, writing, and musical talents. Her younger sister, Sheena, would love to watch her dance and looked up to her for her many talents. Sheena loved her sister, so when the day finally came that Kazumi was called away to work for the Emperor, she was devastated.

At the age of sixteen, Kazumi’s talent had finally spread far throughout the Tsushima Region and she was called upon by the Emperor to perform for him. Moved by her Talents, The Emperor requested that Kazumi stayed within the Castle and entertained the men of the Imperial Army as she had did for him. Attempting to hold back her excitement, Kazumi humbly agreed and within only a few weeks, she had made the Empire her new home. However, that all changed after a certain altercation with a general forced her to kill him in his own chambers. To prevent her family from being punished for her crimes, Kazumi ran away to the city of Veldara, where she found herself a new home and job. She worked as a waitress and entertainer for a small pub known as "Ridge Hearts". She learned to start enjoying her life, that was until she received news from a fellow Entertainer of her past about how her Sister Sheena had been taken captive by a band of thieves that had made their way through her home village. Hoping to find her sister, Kazumi has set her goals to collecting information about the bandits that reside in Kirin, so that she can figure out who the perpetrators were.
