Also, she had to train her abilities to make traps and mapping with her dad but even when she did her best, Akaru almost never demonstrate a contented face in front of her. Due to this, Akari was sad and serious almost every day. All the kids in the Academy always admired her for being so smart and for being in a noble clan. When she was about 10-11 years old, Akari discussed with her father saying she would never be the perfect, admirable or exemplary of her clan.
