Akatsuki is a human assassin with the tracker subclass. In the real world, she was a college student named Shizuka Hanekura attending Yamazaki Gakuen University. Naturally short and cutesy all her life, Akatsuki created a tall male avatar in Elder Tale as wish fulfilment, which backfired when the game and real life swapped. After getting help, she became her saviours' ninja. She is a petite female assassin but with purple eyes and long hair that she ties up in a ponytail.
