Ichigo Akai

"I know this world is cold, but my heart is colder."

- Ichigo, talking to Honey

Appearance
Ichigo is a pink-haired young woman with magenta eyes. Her hair is long, and kept in a ponytail by a red hairpiece. She has a pair of scars over her right eye, and as such, has poor eyesight in that eye. Her Faunus trait is a pair of spider's mandibles that are kept hidden by her scarf. There is also a tattoo of a spiderweb across her back.

Ichigo's combat outfit is a white long-sleeved shirt over a red vest sort of garment with a magenta belt. Her pants are magenta as well, but her shoes are red armored boots. Over her mouth, Ichigo wears a dark red scarf to cover up her spider mandibles.

Personality
Ichigo is withdrawn and quiet. She tends to simply listen to conversation, and only speak if someone asks a question of her. Some describe her silence as creepy, as if she's planning a way to kill everyone on Remnant. Also, Ichigo will not answer any questions about her past, or about her Faunus trait. Only two living people know about her Faunus trait: Professor Ozpin, and her partner, Honey. Nobody knows anything about Ichigo's life before and outside of Beacon.

However, Ichigo keeps this silence for two reasons. First, Ichigo prefers to spend time thinking instead of talking. Second, she also keeps her silence to make her almost untraceable. Sure, she can be remembered by her pink hair and magenta eyes, but other than what she looks like, you will know almost nothing about her.

Ichigo rarely socializes. She has socialized with Sparks before, and she is aware of how much Sparks admires her, but other than that, she has had little socialization.

Backstory
Ichigo was born and raised outside of the kingdoms, in a place where Great Widow and other types of spider Grimm where quite common. Her parents were two different types of spider Faunus, a brown recluse Faunus and a tarantula Faunus. Ichigo was given her swords and scarf by her father when she turned nine.

At the age of ten, she lost her mother to an attack by a Great Widow. Ichigo still remembers the sight of the door being knocked away by a rampaging Great Widow, and remembers her father picking her up and fleeing.

Ichigo resolved to become a Huntress and exterminate every spider Grimm on Remnant. By the age of sixteen, Ichigo had well surpassed several adult Faunus. At the age of seventeen, Ichigo enrolled in Beacon Academy, and was assigned Honey Mayhem as a partner.

Semblance
When active, Ichigo's Semblance allows her to sense almost anything, as long as it's either an attack or a Grimm. If it's a Grimm, she can also tell what type of Grimm it is, but not it's size, if it's injured, or anything else. If it's an attack, she can tell what type of attack it is, but not who used it or what weapon it's from. This is incredibly useful ability in combat, although it does have it's limitations.

Weapon
Strawberry Blades

Ichigo's swords, commonly titled Strawberry Blades, are a pair of large swords that resemble katanas. They have a pink-colored blade, and a crimson hilt wrapped in red cloth. The blades appear to be laced with poison, making her a deadly opponent. They are somewhat old, and somewhat heavy as well. Ichigo can either wield one in each hand, or one in both hands.
