Akatsuki

Akatsuki is one of the players trapped in the MMORPG Elder Tale. She is a lvl 90 human Assassin whom later joins Shiroe and Naotsugu.

Appearance
Prior to changing her appearance, Akatsuki took the appearance of a tall male Assassin with purple hair and eyes. His clothing consisted of a long-sleeved purple hooded shirt with dark purple cuffs and reinforced with armor on his shoulder and forehead areas, brown belted pants, knee-high boots with knee guards and a purple scarf tied around his neck.

After taking the appearance changing potion, Akatsuki changed her gender and size to be similar to that of her real world appearance. Her current appearance is that of a petite female Assassin but with the same purple eyes and hair that she ties up in a ponytail. Her clothing is similar to her previous ones albeit smaller in size. She now wears a sleeveless purple top, purple arm warmers, brown pants and purple boots.

Personality
A petite black haired beauty, Akatsuki possess a level of combat prowess that belies her small build. A serious person, she doesn't take kindly Naotsugu's brand of humor and dishes regular punishment, usually a flying knee to his face at blinding speed. For some reason, Akatsuki sees herself as a ninja, or more specifically Shiroe's ninja (whom she addresses as her "Lord"), which is reflected not only in her main job but also in her sub job choice: the Tracker, which specializes in tracking and stalking targets.

She is hinted to have actual training in the martial arts, which neither Shiroe nor Naotsugu possesses. Also, despite her 'loli' appearance, she is actually around Shiroe's age.

Interation with Shiroe
Akatsuki calls Shiroe "Shukun" (主君), which means "master" in the context of a ninja and his or her lord.

Interaction with Naotsugu
Akatsuki attempts to counter Naotsugu's "open perversion" by constantly kneeing him in the face. In most cases, she first takes this action and then asks permission from Shiroe afterward.

The Apocalypse
Akatsuki is one of the players trapped in the MMORPG Elder Tale. Realizing that her male avatar is going to be an inconvenience, she searches Shiroe, an Enchanter whom she had played with on numerous occasions before and an owner of an appearance changing potion. She finds him in Akihabara with a Guardian named Naotsugu and is invited to travel with them. Despite preferring to be alone, Akatsuki accepts the offer, saying that it is a way to repay her debt to Shiroe for without whom she would still be stuck in the body of a man.

The next day, the trio decides to explore the town and discovers that though they can eat and drink, all of the food taste the same and the drinks all taste like water. Shiroe is then called by Marielle, the guild master of Crescent Moon Alliance and the trio ventures to her guild to exchange information. They are informed that most guilds are recruiting members, believing that there is safety in numbers, and are invited to join the Alliance. However, they decline and leave.

The trio then decides to experiment and heads to the Archive Tower Forests, a map filled with monsters that attack on sight. They soon discover the difficulty of fighting the monsters but are able to adjust and overpower them.
