Akari Takahashi (高橋明星, Takahashi Akari) is a vampire who was originally a human and grew up in a small village in Japan together with her brother Yuito Takahashi. When she was 8 years old, she and her brother were attacked by a vampire and turned into vampires. In addition to her medical studies, she works as a temporary employee at the Mochizuki Bakery. She is also dating the vampire Derio Viancello.
Appearance
Akari has light blonde, wavy hair that goes down to her hips. The tips are dyed light pink. She has a mole under her left eye. As a human, her eyes were originally brown, but as a vampire they are light green. Sometimes, however, her eyes turn red. For example, when she is very happy, sad or angry, or when she is using her vampire abilities or wants to scare someone. She also has typical, pointed vampire fangs.
When it comes to her clothes, she tends to wear more subtle casual clothes at university and at the Mochizuki Bakery. In her free time, however, she is occasionally a little more experimental when it comes to fashion. Sometimes she wears Jirai Kei fashion, for example, but not always. From time to time, she also gets tips from Mariko and asks what is currently on trend and follows them.
Personality
Akari is a very cheerful and sometimes a bit lively person. She is very kind, reliable and helpful. Even if she is sometimes too helpful and finds it hard to say no when someone asks her for help. Nevertheless, she always gives her best and tries to stay positive as much as possible. When it comes to her brother Yuito, there can sometimes be arguments because he can be a bit overprotective when it comes to her. But she knows he only wants the best and she makes up with him. She rarely gets really angry, but every now and then it can happen during or after an argument. In the end, however, she prefers to make up and talk things out.
Relationships
She and her older brother have a very good relationship. She has been raised by Yuito since the death of her parents and the two have always been there for each other. Every now and then, the two of them can get into arguments, as her brother can be very overprotective, but in the end they get along again.
Akari only got to know Shaira when he was already dating Yuito. Although the couple met at the Mochizuki bakery, Yuito stood in for her at that time. The two quickly became friends and get on very well. Currently, Derio is also getting help from the witcher, for which Akari is very grateful.
She and Derio met for the first time in a store in the antique market, where they both go often. After that, they met several times at the Mochizuki Bakery, where Akari regularly helps out. Eventually, they went out a few times and ended up together. Although Derio is the one who turned her and Yuito into vampires, she doesn't hold it against him because she knows it wasn't intentional.
Akari and Haruka first met at Haruka's parents' bakery. Both are friends with Mariko and therefore became friends quite quickly. They don't see each other often, but every now and then they run into each other at the Mochizuki bakery or meet at the Kuroha Ryokan.
They don't know each other particularly well. So far, they have only ever met briefly when Akari has met him with Haruka.
At first, Akari and Hina only met briefly through Yuito and didn't see each other often. But since Hina started working in her parents' bakery after her return, the two have been seeing each other quite regularly since then and get on well.
Akari knows Kyōko and Ryūji because she works for them as a temporary employee in the bakery. She has been working for the couple almost continuously for several years now and gets on very well with both of them.
She and Mariko met through Yuito, who is good friends with the Tengus. At first they only saw each other from time to time, but have since become good friends and meet up when they have time. Mostly at the ryokan or the Mochizuki bakery.
Akari has known Shin since she was a child, as he is Yuito's best friend. From time to time, he used to babysit her together with Yuito, which she was always happy about as she got on well with the tengu even back then. Now they only see each other when Akari visits the ryokan, but they still get on very well.
The two know each other from the ryokan, as Akari often used to go there with Yuito, as he had to look after her. From time to time, Nanami also looked after her. The two have gradually become friends and get on well together. Unfortunately, they now only see each other rarely when Akari visits the ryokan, as Nanami is often busy.
