Akane

Akane, 茜, or あかね (/ˈɑkənɛ/ in English and /äkäne̞/ in Japanese), also known as Anders (/ˈændɚs/ in General American and /ˈændəs/ in Received Pronunciation), is an anthropomorphic Eastern dragon. Akane has a Japanese background, but to not stand out in the Western area in which they live, they pretend to be a Western dragon. They are a university student who spends a lot of time in their dorm room.

Ethnicity
Akane used to get picked on by other kids for being different to the other dragons they knew. Their body is a lot leaner than most Western dragons, they've got whiskers, and they're only partially fluffy. They decided to cover up their real ethnicity because that would be easier. They go by the name "Anders" instead of their Japanese name, they wear hoodies and other clothing that covers a lot to hide how they look, and they take a magic elixir they found online that makes their whiskers go away for 24 hours. Akane still thinks of themself as Japanese and is fluent in the language, but they're also fluent in English.

Lifestyle
Akane has a dorm room at their university to themself, so they can spend most of their time in private. They eat a lot of instant noodles because of its convenience while trying to study, but they rarely clean up their dorm.
