Akala used the element of surprise when he was surviving in the jungle during his youth. When he discovered there were other people like him who were just as intelligent, Akala still had this predatory mindset. During his teenaged years at the combat school, he read up on Faunus/human psychology and realized he could better kill his new "prey" by giving them the impression he was weak. Akala's effeminate side is nothing more than a ruse to make his White Fang brethren and enemies believe he is a simple nuisance and not a cold-blooded, murderous, howling maniac.
