PERSONALITY: Akane is a very lively young girl who is so energetic such that she is usually mistaken to have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). She really is just very sociable and likes being the center of attention so as to create and affect of 'energizing' everyone around her to be lively as well. She prefers red clothing over any other but a clothing with an acceptable amount of the color red may suffice her fashion sense. She has only one frustration: that she was not born with red hair. Basically, she loves all things red since it is her favorite color and is part of her name. She is a very caring and loving person but when someone bullies her brother, a different side of her red self i seen as she enters a vicious rage to defend him. It is unclear if she has ever been defeated in fights as she is versed in various Chinese martial arts (due to the Chinese flag being red).

PERSONALITY: Aoki is a quiet person who prefers to stay put and read rather than go out and chat. He is often mistaken to display introversion due to the degree of silence that he exhibits. He is actually a more passive person and will not engage unless he finds something more interesting than the book he is reading at that particular time. His fashion sense is the opposite of Akane's by means of color (blue instead of red) but the conditions that determine if a clothing suffices and the frustration of his hair's color is the same as her sister's. He does not usually display emotions, but in the same sense, he is not robotic. One of the rare times he displays emotions is when he interacts with his sister. When bullied, he prefers to be the shield and lets his sister be the sword, despite being the older (by 27 minutes). In contrast to Akane, he is more versed in the art of magic as he reinforces his sister's body structure to strengthen her.

Supplemental Information

Aoki and Akane are derived from the concept of opposites, hence their last name. This concept roots from the following reasons:

• The creator is a Filipino whose country's flag consists of the colors blue and red.
• Blue and red are generally considered as opposite colors, reflecting their last name, Urahara, which means opposite.
• Blue is normally classified as a cool color where as red is classified as a warm color, once again reflecting opposites.
• The creator is an ambivert, meaning he can be either an extrovert or an introvert at a given time. Akane represents his extroversion while Aoki represents his introversion.
• The name Aoki, which means blue tree, is given as an allusion to the creator's favorite and best-played Dissidia 012 character, Exdeath. Aoki is similar to the said character in many ways.
• The name Akane, which means brilliant red, is given as an allusion to the creator's rival's best-played (against the creator's Exdeath) Dissidia 012 character, Onion Knight. Akane is similar to the said character in many ways.
• The two Dissidia 012 characters mentioned above have the exact opposite gameplay in that the former is a slow character who focuses on defense and the latter focuses on swiftness in his offense. Despite this, they have a common point - strategy. This common point is an allusion to the likeness of the creator and his rival. It also is a reference to a certain similarity between the twins.

The twins have long agreed that they would switch the color of their headsets as symbol of always having a part of the other with them. This also is a symbol of accepting their differences.
