Akira starts off as a side character, almost a comic relief over anything. She is a very bombastic girl, without ever sounding too loud, just announcing things like a Sports Commentator. Towards the end of the novel however, she gets her own POV, and becomes much more prominent of a character. Her narration voice should be much quieter, monotone, and remorseful. (Speaking lines are surrounded by quotes, anything else is a narration line)
