Gambler and sometimes prostitute in the Crab Caves. Single mother. Has connections to the Fire Eaters.
After losing 20 koku to her, the visting Dragon dignitary Tamori Yousuke refused to pay her. Instead, his servants tracked down where Akane lived. He went there during the day, killed her daughter, and left the body lying in the street outside her home.
After tracking her down, the magistrates gave her the money that Yousuke owed her. The money she won was going to be enough to get her out of her current life and represented a new future for her daughter. Now, she no longer cares about the money nor the revenge being taken by the Fire Eaters. The only thing she wants is justice.
