"I didn't get this good without a lot of hard work."

As the Hokage's daughter, Akane has spent her whole life in the spotlight. Every expected greatness of her, and she's worked hard to live up to those expectations. Being in the spotlight has done more harm than good for her. Not only does it raise expectations, but it made coming out as a trans girl into a huge ordeal. She was shunned by many, even by family friends. She learned at much too young an age how cruel others could be.

To counter the insecurity so much rejection caused, Akane developed an arrogant persona. Faking such confidence helped her feel more confident. She spent everyday training and studying so she could be the best, holding the top position in her class. She grew overconfident in her abilities, while still struggling with insecurities over her appearance. To combat the dysphoria, Akane began altering her looks with makeup, hair dye, and illussions. She strove to look more like her mother, and less like her brother. In time, she even declared herself the rose of Konoha.

Although Akane is quite haughty and controlling, she remains a compassionate child. Akane takes it upon herself to defend others, trying to protect those around her from the pain she's gone through. She faces down bullies with fists and words, and seeks out interaction with loners who might want company. She can be quite the meddlesome child, refusing to back down when it comes to helping others. Normally this is an admirable trait, but it can be overbearing when the person she's helping doesn't want help.
