Her fur is is a dark grey-blue, and she has burnt orange eyes. The armor is a dark steel color, with the kabuto being of the same material. The kimono is a purple with a crimson rose petal patern, which she wears over her armor. She takes off the kimono when she fights. Akira was born into a very militaristic Diamond Dog den, who instead of mainly focusing on slaving was more bent on controlling other dens. A daughter of the chief, Akira was trained in combat just like the men of her den. However, eventually times changed. With pony settlers settling near her father's den, Celestia sent delegates to propose a deal for their land. For a large sum of gems, her father sold the territory, disbanding the den. Turning to a life of luxury, Akira's father became the leader of successful and large guild of sell-swords, living with many Diamond Dogs acting as generals in a large army of mercenaries. Being the eldest of the successors of her father, Akira became his right hand dog, going out and doing quests for her father for the interest of the guild.   Backstory that has been generated through DL that will probably be brought up later: -236 kills
