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. They are currently majoring in calculus and linguistics. Akane is very shy and introverted, only really having one good friend at uni, Aca, on whom they also have a crush. Akane is Aca's "adopted introvert".

Physical appearance
Akane's a fluffy dragon, most of their body having dark green fur with some patches of bright green spots of varying sizes (on their shoulders, under their eyes, and more), but their hair, neck fur, check fur tips and chest are much longer orangey-red fur. Their eyes are this same orange colour, and their whiskers, horns and insides of their ears are the same bright green as the spots. Their two horns on either side of their head start protruding upwards but quickly turn backwards, extending back for a bit before gently curving upwards until thinning out at a nearly vertical point. They are quite skinny and a bit shorter than average.

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. Akane still thinks of themself as Japanese and is fluent in the language, but they're also fluent in English. Aca is the only one Anders has told about being an Eastern dragon.

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, so there are often ramen cups everywhere.
