6. What are your fears? [COLOR=red](please choose and explain 3 minimum)[/COLOR]
Werewolves - She was attacked and left for dead by a pack of werewolves. She distrusts them and while one would not scare her, three or more would be too many.
Seizures - Fears that one day her seizures will happen at the wrong time and get her killed. Already they have happened during times of stress and the results have been nearly terminal in both cases.
Large Emotionally Charged Crowds - A party or a speech is fine until the crowd becomes riled up about something and then she becomes nervous. Bar brawls, religious revivals even some political rallies would frighten her enough to want to be elsewhere. This is compounded by her knowledge that she can control small situations but not large ones.

Interested - She's finds people fascinating and likes to get to know them. The more she knows the more she is concerned for their welfare.

They told her she was different from the beginning.
-A graceful little girl learns to walk far more quickly than most children. She is seen as blessed. She continues to grow ever more beautiful and people talk about how unusual she is. Harmless now, a mother worries about her bright guileless daughter who captures the loving attention of those around her. Soon that interest would become something else.-
-Sent to the temple, Akahana learns to read and write. She soaks in every lesson with a quick mind and eager heart. She is known for her kindness and her ability to listen. People find her easy to talk to, they take comfort in her concern and lack of judgment.-
-There is a drought. The temple is blamed, especially one of its priests. A small mob comes to confront him. He hides inside refusing to come out and face their angry accusations. Further angered by his cowardice, they storm inside to seek him out. They find a very sick girl, the one who looks like a fox spirit, slender and graceful. Some claim her illness is evidence that the priest has done wrong and others claim she is to blame. Akahana is pulled out of the temple along with the priest. She reaches the courtyard and stumbles. Falling to the ground, she begins to writhe and twitch. The mob sees this as a sign of her guilt. She is possessed by an evil spirit and is responsible for their troubles. They beat her, trying to drive the spirit from her body. When the mob stops kicking and punching, she is barely breathing. They leave her there on the ground to die.
A small figure sees the girl from the shadows as the people disperses. Intrigued the stranger finds the girl still breathing, but barely. She chooses to gift her with immortality, finding her tenacity encouraging.-
-A new vampire finds a home amongst the Order of the Night. She uses her interest in people to learn the things her clan wants to know. She finds that she must play many new roles and throws herself into learning how to charm and entertain.-
-As a courtesan she finds that she still gives temporary solace,perhaps of a different nature, to those in need. It is in this role that she becomes a favorite entertainer to the wealthy and powerful in Vietnam. A group of wanderers take up temporary residence on the outskirts of town. Akahana is asked by members of the clan to suggest to the leaders that they force the newcomers to leave.
She departs a councilor's home after entertaining at a successful small party where she managed to speak to many of the leaders about the strangers, convincing them with her charm and ability to decide the travelers are a nuisance and need to be made to leave. A group of the drifters confront her, one of the members a fellow courtesan who knew of the party. The confrontation leads to a fight. She is overwhelmed by the wolves. Torn, bitten and bleeding, she falls to the ground, once more shuddering and twitching, oblivious to her surroundings. On the verge of sunrise, they leave her for dead. She crawls to a nearby damaged fishing boat, crawling under it, she spends a uncomfortably painful day in desperate need of blood.-
-A murder is killing those with command that had forced the Treaty on the werewolves. She is asked by her elder to join his cause and find out what she can. As his confidant, she comes to Nachton.-
