History Characters / AkameGaKillAkame

* CuteClumsyGirl: Perhaps her most defining trait outside of combat is her clumsiness. She even forgets important details regarding targets and has to be reminded on a daily basis.

The [[TitleDrop titular]] female protagonist of the story and the "[[RedBaron Red-Eyed Killer]]", Akame is a young girl who was infamously known for being the Empire's number one assassin. Akame's cold-hearted and serious demeanor stems from her hellish training the Empire forced her and her sister through after being sold by their parents. After being tasked one mission to assassinate former general Najenda she is convinced by her to not only spare her but also to instead join her crusade against the Empire by becoming a member of Night Raid. Her defection from the Empire sparks an intense rivalry between her fellow assassin and sibling Kurome, along with a mutual desire to be the one to end the other.

* WorfHadTheFlu: Her initial poor performance against Wave in Kyoroch is later handwaved as she was focusing more on reaching the cathedral than fighting Wave and hence was taken by surprise. [[FridgeLogic Which doesn't make much sense as being formerly an Empire Assassin she must have had experience fighting powerful guards and obstacles often before reaching her main target]]
* WorldsBestWarrior: She's defeated Esdeath, the Empire's strongest, and Mera Oarburgh, Esdeath's assassin equivalent in one on one confrontations. The only thing that keeps her status as this from being public knowledge is the fact that Akame herself likes her privacy.

* LogicalWeakness: Despite Murasame's abilities, It's only really effective when it cuts an opponent and [[PoisonedWeapons they succumb to its extremely deadly poison]]. So when faced with opponents like [[PoweredArmor Wave]]'s [[NighInvulnerability Grand Chariot]] or [[PeoplePuppets Kurome]]'s [[TheUndead Yatsuhusa]], [[WorfBarrage it's nothing more than a regular katana]]. Also, it only affects living beings, so the Teigu is useless against biological Teigus like Susanoo or Hekatonkheires.

* TitleCharacter: Her name's in the title, although the story primarily focuses on Tatsumi. She does get noticeable focus near the end of the manga however focusing on [[spoiler: settling the score with her sister and her ultimate duel with Esdeath. Up to being the last character seen to close out the series in both the Manga and Anime. It's ultimately PlayedWith, as the literal meaning of the title is 'the Red-Eyed Killer' and as part of his assimilation with Incursio, Tatsumi eventually gains a blood-red pupil in his right eye, meaning that the title actually referred to [[{{Deuteragonist}} both of them together]].]]

* KickTheSonOfABitch: While literally trampling Izou's final wish was a horrible thing to do, the psycho had it coming considering all the crap he'd pulled by that point, and the fact that his final wish of "keeping his sword fed with blood" wasn't a particularly noble wish worth granting anyway.

Her defection from the Empire sparks an intense rivalry between her fellow assassin and sibling Kurome, along with a mutual desire to be the one to end the other.

* BrokenBird: She's a fierce warrior with a steely demeanor and is willing to enter battle without hesitation, but underneath it all is a mentally broken and frustrated girl who had suffered a lot from the very Empire that she used to serve under and while she does a good job hiding it, she really doesn't take it well when a loved one dies.
* In the anime, she breaks down into a sobbing mess on Tatsumi's lap, barely comprehending the fact that she had just killed her younger sister, whom she cherished, regardless of their differing allegiances.

* BadassLongcoat: An occasional part of her attire.

* MinidressOfPower: Her IconicOutfit.

* MsFanservice: Her IconicOutfit is a MiniDressOfPower with a short skirt showing off her [[ShesGotLegs well-toned legs]]. Not only that, but she has been shown wearing nothing but a bikini or underwear on numerous occasions, and to top it off, she was also featured completely naked on a color page in Zero.

* LogicalWeakness: Despite Murasame's GameBreaker abilities, It's only really effective when it cuts an opponent and [[PoisonedWeapons they succumb to its extremely deadly poison]]. So when faced with opponents like [[PoweredArmor Wave]]'s [[NighInvulnerability Grand Chariot]] or [[PeoplePuppets Kurome]]'s [[TheUndead Yatsuhusa]], [[WorfBarrage it's nothing more than a regular katana]]. Also, it only affects living beings, so the Teigu is useless against biological Teigus like Susanoo or Hekatonkheires.

Akame also returns as a supporting character in ''Manga/HinowaGaCrush'', serving as a mentor figure to its protagonist, Hinata, whilst also continuing her own quest to [[spoiler:find a cure for her condition after she cut herself with Murasame for a power-up against Esdeath]].
