Akane is a college student and a casual player of FoS, which she started playing for her ex-boyfriend (who ironically cheated on her with fellow game player). She is mature, although sometimes a bit naive. She has a habit of keeping things and letting them pile up, as she treasures the presents she receives so much. In FoS, she uses her real name as a nickname. She belongs to a guild called "Chocolate Rabbit."

Akane's best friend Momo, who likes going to gokon. She's sharp, sometimes sarcastic, and is totally opposite to Akane personality wise.
