Akisa Keryan♀
╚══════╝═╚══════════╝Akisa was not a foreigner to the waves of the Grand Line. Oh sure, her parents were retired. That didn't stop her friends from taking her along on whatever crazy journey they had planned every now and then. The blue haired maiden grew up as a pirate should have... maybe a tiny bit more sheltered than most, but that wasn't going to stop this girl's determination.
The New World...
Akisa tried to think of the dangerous side of the world as being on that same Grand Line that she had grown accustomed to, back at Paradise, but... there were so many things didn't seem to add up. The storms here in the New World had gotten so horrendous that the young pirate had feared for her life many more times than just once. She was likely the most frightened person aboard the entire ship; ironic, considering how the crew she traveled with mistook her emotionless facade as bold courage. Oh, right. The ship...
It has been five long months of traveling to track down and reach the Blackout?! crew. While the trip wasn't action packed, it was... well, awkward. The entire recount of Akisa's journey from Paradise to the New World would take quite while in it's entirety. Strangely enough, the trip to the Red Line from . Akisa had to find her own way to a location near Fishman Island to meet up with some friends of Akisa's more seasoned Pirate friend, Keia, who agreed to help Akisa find the Blackout?! Crew and, simultaneously, Jack. The young woman often snuck onto ships in various ways, sometimes in the oddest ways such as inside a relatively empty crate 'disguised' as a set of clothes. One time Akisa accidentally got shipped in the complete wrong direction, causing her to be nearly an entire month late for Keia's friends! Once Akisa made it to Keia's friend's ship, though, the rest of her journey was a breeze compared to her trip getting to the ship. Keia could have guided Akisa there herself, but the way that Keia saw it, Akisa wouldn't last long in a real crew if she wasn't resourceful enough to get to one simple location by herself.
Anyway, Akisa had finally found and caught up to them; the Blackout?! Pirates' Airship. It had taken Keia's friends a good while to do it, but they finally bid Akisa farewell as she stepped onto the island that Jack's crew had docked at. This island was Wano Country, and their reasoning was for a brief emergency repair of some kind, Akisa didn't know the specific details. Why would the young woman know why they were here? It wasn't like Keia's friends had an inside information on the Blackout?! crew, they were just seasoned enough to know how to successfully get to the New World and then brave it's hardships for awhile. The details didn't concern Akisa anyway; all the pirate girl knew was that she wanted to see Jack. There were, however, dreamy fantasies that revolved around her reunion with Jack that just so happened to include the Blackout?! Crew. After all, the cyborg was doing what so many younger Macchina di Terrano upstarts dreamed of; being in a pirate crew of such successful pirates like the Ace-Azure duo. Who was to say Akisa, a relatively average young girl from the same island, didn't romanticize about the same sort of dream? Unlike those other upstarts, though, the blue haired girl's goal was not just that simple. What if Jack's crew didn't like her, or that she just wouldn't be of any use at all? What if they were all too disturbed by the emotion suppressors she wore for the great majority of every day and night? Akisa could go on for hours about all different kinds of 'what if' situations, as her social anxiety tended to get her all worried and worked up very quickly.
The Blackout?! ship was not hard to miss. First of all, it had two giant propeller turbines at both sides of the ship, not to mention two smaller propellers near the mast of the ship itself. Its sleek, aerodynamic design separated it from most other ships, which were only really designed to cut through the water of the seas instead of the clouds of the sky. Plus, it's captain had a fantastic mannerism of being loud... so her crew tended to be within earshot at all times. Within only a few moments Akisa had found the crew she was looking for. Naturally, that place was a bar. The problem, however, was actually trying to get along with them. That was how Akisa saw it, at least.
When Akisa walked into the bar what with her casual light pink sweater, black skirt and stockings, she rather sharply contrasted with the more traditional dresses of the Wano Country people. Plus, there was the whole fact that Akisa's ears were replaced with mechanical devices which would only further help her stick out. These 'devices' looked like small black domes with a solid peice of gray metal shaped like a wedge pointing diagonally up - a little like a cyborg version of 'elven' ears. The young woman would have been a bit disturbed by a few stares she got from some patrons if it wasn't for how much she was loving the apparel of the natives. Akisa liked fashion, even more so than normal considering she could be fashionable, in a much more literal sense than normal. A few of the more fuzzy, warmer kimonos made Akisa feel like it would be very snugly if she took that form.
As Akisa looked about the room, her general appearance would look excessively formal or emotionless, as if there was nothing that could ever catch her interest, here or anywhere else. Her metallic devices that replaced her ears were responsible for that, the Emotion Suppressors. The normally emotional girl could make her normal ears form at any time she wanted, though then she would take the risk of a rather dangerous repercussion. The turquoise 'soulless eyes' of Akisa would eventually spot the only other patrons that really stuck out among the crowd; Ace and her crew. The very first person those eyes of hers searched for was Jack, though she couldn't find him at first for whatever reason.
Regardless, Akisa had waited for this moment for five entire months. She sure as hell wasn't going to back down now. That didn't mean she wasn't anxious! While the young woman appeared to calmly approach the foreigners, her inner turmoil of this key moment was stirring up a huge ruckus. Poor Akisa would be a sweaty mess by the time she reached the table where Ace and Azure waited. if her emotion suppressors didn't cancel out any kind of body language that was made out of any emotion. Akisa did not manage to say anything, though... her mouth was glued shut, unable to find what she wanted to say. This just made her even more nervous, so instead the blue haired girl just ended up staring at Ace with those blank eyes of hers.
-Notes-
Sorry if this post is confusing at all. TL:DR; Akisa traveled up to the Red Line from her hometown alone via stowing away on ships or for favors, then met up with some friends of a friend of hers that could take her through the New World and eventually find the Blackout?! crew. Sorry!
