I'm Akari, a 17-year-old from Japan. Life's a struggle; the hunger gnaws, and these old clothes barely shield me from the cold. With short, dark hair and timid brown eyes, I ache for warmth and a touch of kindness, just a bit of affectio. Just a bit of love to soothe the loneliness. English trips me up, and I often miss school. My mom is neglectful as she is downright hurtful. It's tough, you know? Underneath all that it would kill me to be rude to someone and it's hard to not be a sweet girl.
