Akari Karga, of mixed Russian-Japanese heritage, possesses distinctive blue eyes and short, messy blonde hair typically secured by a hairpin. Born March 9 in Hiroshima, she stands 167 cm tall, weighs 49 kg, and has blood type B. Her figure developed notably during high school, sometimes remarked upon by friends. Once a short-tempered tomboy, her personality shifted after moving to Hiroshima eight years prior to the main events. She adopted a cheerful, outgoing demeanor, often masking her true feelings with humor and teasing. Her defining loyalty to close friends coexisted with a disorganized, carefree nature. Early defensiveness, born from struggles to make friends due to her mixed background, faded after Haruto Kirishima and Takashi Yura defended her from bullies. The trio formed an inseparable bond, and Akari gained perceptive insight into their thoughts and emotions. In high school, she joined the tennis club and befriended transfer student Yuzuki Eba. Akari harbored a crush on Nanami Kanzaki's older brother, Narumi, often daydreaming about him or watching his baseball practices. She orchestrated a double-date camping trip involving Narumi, Yuzuki, and Haruto. Disappointment followed upon learning Narumi's affections lay elsewhere, but she recovered swiftly, channeling her energy into teasing her friends' romantic entanglements. When Haruto decided to pursue Yuzuki in Tokyo, Akari reacted with visible distress, leading to a heated argument about his choices. At a farewell gathering at her home, she privately kissed Haruto on the lips, implying unresolved romantic feelings, creating a lingering ambiguity in their relationship. She later enrolled at Seijo University alongside Haruto, Takashi, Nanami, Kiyomi Asakura, and Asuka Mishima. During this period, she confronted Haruto about his behavior toward Asuka after witnessing a compromising situation. When Haruto ultimately chose Yuzuki over Asuka, Akari joined their friends in severing ties with him, declaring an end to their friendship. Reconciliation occurred much later after Akari and Takashi encountered Yuzuki and gradually accepted their relationship. Akari's university life ended when her father fell ill, prompting her return to Hiroshima. She dropped out to support her family and began working at her father's company. During this time, she reconnected with Narumi Kanzaki, leading to their engagement. Before the wedding, experiencing uncertainty, she attempted to initiate intimacy with Haruto during a Tokyo visit, seeking closure for lingering emotions. Haruto rejected her advance, and she proceeded to marry Narumi, becoming Akari Kanzaki. Her story concludes with her established life in Hiroshima, maintaining periodic contact with her childhood friends while navigating her new role as Narumi's wife. Her journey reflects a transition from youthful exuberance to adult responsibilities, marked by emotional resilience and enduring loyalty.
