AFW CANON
Every events happened here is part of the AFW-LAW verse, and it's connected to each other. Anything Akira does here also connects to her AFW canon. However, her Fargus Multiverse self (for my novel and multimedia projects like Kindred Hearts) is separated from this.
Appearance
A gigantic former delinquent from Okinawa who's also a very skilled mixed martial artist. Akira has a tanned complexion and a huge yet muscular body with rippling six-pack abs, large breasts and muscular arms and legs that are as strong and hard as tree trunks, comparable those of the Amazons of Greek myth. As part of her delinquent background, Akira dyed her hair rusted blonde. Her hair resemble those of a lion's mane, which gave her the title Burning Lioness. She prefers to go scantily clad during matches to show off her gigantic yet ripped body, yet she never fight topless.
Personality
Akira is strong willed and aggressive. She isn't usually mean spirited but in the right mood she can be cocky or even sadistic. She likes a good match and is proud of her physical strength and martial art skills. She is confident and acts like it. She will try and help others as long as there isn't too much of a burden for her to do so. For example she will give advice to those who seek it, especially if they want to learn about aikido or judo. She's even willing to put someone through the wringer in order to make them stronger. She does have honor but will stoop down to the level of her opponents. Generally the dirtier they are the dirtier she will become.
Wrestling Information
Strategy: Akira is more on the offensive. While she hits hard and able to crush or bring down her opponents with her grapples and throws, she's hampered by her massive body. She's pretty sluggish in the ring and unable to use any high-flying moves, but she's still able to crush her opponents with her own body weight
Style: Akira uses her own fighting style known as "Midorikawa strong style" in the ring, which combines aikido, judo, pankration and MMA/vale tudo
Type: Gigantic grappler and brawler that completely relies upon her brute force and aggression
Preferred Attacks: Grapples, throws and strikes
Preferred Matches: Anything, but less inclined to hardcore matches
Attitude To Hentai: "No questions on that, but I am a woman of honor.."

Fun facts
Akira is a native Ryukyuan. She's fluent in speaking Ryukyuan language, in addition to Japanese and English
Aside from being a martial artist, Akira also runs a dojo where she teaches aikido and judo to her students. Her method of teaching is known to be very excruciating, as she wanted to see the hidden potential within her students. She does not tolerate mistakes easily
Akira is also good at swimming, diving and weightlifting. She once fought and fended off a huge tiger shark all by herself using her own bare hands
Her appearance is inspired by Zhurong from Dynasty Warriors and Riko Sena from ST✰R: Strike It Rich. Her moveset is partially inspired by Craig Marduk from Tekken
