Personality[]
Akari is shown to be a kind, cheerful and compassionate woman. After Hokage Sakishima dies, Akari has starts to grow up and take responsibility for her actions.
As Hikari Sakishima's older sister, she encourages and supports him, often teasing him about his feelings for Manaka Mukaido.
History[]
When Akari was young, she wanted to become a manga artist and then go to school on the surface for it. But, after her mom passed away, she started to act like a grown up who wasn't crying even though she was still young. In order to make enough money so that Hikari Sakishima can go to college, she starts to work at Saya Mart.
Relationships[]
Itaru Shiotome[]
Akari was good friends with Miori Shiodome (Itaru's first wife) who came to the surface and had Miuna Shiodome. However, after Miori passed away, Akari started looking after the small family before she then started to have a relationship with Itaru before she eventually married him (which now makes her Akari Shiodome) and it resulted in having Akira Shiodome.
Etymology[]
- The name Akari means "light" (あかり) in Hiragana.
- However, when written in kanji (明里, 朱里 or 朱莉), it could possibly mean:
- 明里 - "bright, light, clear" (明) (aka) and "village" (里) (ri).
- 朱里 - "vermilion red" (朱) (aka) and "village" (里) (ri).
- 朱莉 - "vermilion red" (朱) (aka) and "white jasmine" (莉) (ri).
- However, when written in kanji (明里, 朱里 or 朱莉), it could possibly mean:
- Akari's surname Sakishima means "before, ahead, previous, future, precedence" (先) (saki) and "island" (島) (shima).
- Her married name Shiodome means "tide, ebb, opportunity" (潮) (shio) and "detain, fasten, halt, stop" (留) (tome/dome), which literally means "halt the tides" altogether.
