Tochimichi Akane

Her costume is a rich, striking purple, edged with bands and swirling patterns of red and gold. Has straight green hair. A train hangs behind her, perhaps impractically cumbersome on the ground, but in the air, it looks fantastic. She wears no crown, nor any other adornment but for three items: a sword at her hip, a mirror at the other, and the jade-green gem in her hair. The Three Sacred Treasures of Japan... or, perhaps, merely counterparts, magical creations.

She's a beacon of power, a swirling maelstrom at the center of a crackling web of magic, but you know what a magical girl looks like, the burning fire of a Soul in motion. And yet she hangs in mid-air, at the very heart of thousands, tens of thousands of interwoven threads of magic that descend invisibly to the city below.

Invisible threads of magic winding together into a tight spindle, a cloak of power settled around her form... intersecting in the forms of the Three Treasures, then deeper to spread through her body as if the Treasures were gateways.

The low thrum of power through those connections is odd, almost humming in your mind like electricity in a cable. She's drawing power from them, you suppose, a steady ebb and surge, but it's not all one-way, either, the magic gathering in her body, then dissipating back down different pathways. If you had to estimate, she draws in a little more than she returns, the remainder joining her mantle.

The Leader of the Chiyoda Group, and thus effectively the leader of the entire Tokyo Council, despite not being a magical girl. Considers Sabrina to be an "elder sibling", and when told that Sabrina is only three weeks old, asks "if temporal age has anything to do with anything." When under strain, her voice takes on harmonics which Sabrina finds familiar (it is speculated that these may the same harmonics heard when a Wish is made).

Intangible connections exist between her

Is known to know many things she shouldn't, and was able to greet Constellation by name without having been introduced prior, which may be in some way associated with the Yata no Kagami. Was able to apply a "peoplestop" to the entire Tokyo Council when Imai Taeko attempted to drop an infohazard, although Sabrina was able to resist. The Yasakani no Magatama might have glinted when releasing the Council from peoplestop.

Claims that her powers stem from the ability to control karma, although Niko expresses disbelief.

"But twisting karma like that is- is-" Niko's words fail her. "Karma is potential. It's like saying that you're just pointing at- I dunno, the strong nuclear force and saying 'I control that'. Without magic. It's too, too fundamental. And saying you can just put it on pause like that, and the world goes on? It doesn't work like that."

"Perhaps you are right," Akane says finally. "Certainly, I believe that I am doing as I say: I speak the truth to the world, and the world listens. Karma is not a part of the world - but it nevertheless takes its cues, in the way the land shapes the river even as the river shapes the land. Attuned to karma as magical girls are, should you not bend to follow?"
