Achiwa

Achiwa tends to fall into a bad mood whenever she socializes, and her solution is typically to go shopping, a classic pastime of young women. When she's not at work, she's a regular at the clothing stores and boutiques in the malls of the Bonfire City, but the moment she chances upon families who are shopping merrily, she'll immediately get ticked off and turn to leave, seemingly unable to stand such intimate sights.

When she's feeling down in the dumps, Achiwa will sit alone in a family or fast-food restaurant to have a large serving of fries, and she usually eats faster as it goes. Going up to her to ask about it at this time won't give you any answers; it just appears as if she seriously loves fries.

"Why do I love fries? ...Because it's delicious, duh. Why else?"

She seems to enjoy eating in a bustling environment, but footing the bill just because someone's eating with her isn't something she does. To Achiwa, this feels like "paying to have a friend." Sometimes, people on the train or Anita, who know her, will invite her to lunch, and she never fails to accept. Despite never really looking thrilled, she truly hasn't been absent from one of these lunch dates.

Before joining Anita, Achiwa never really had a concrete plan for her life, nor did she think about what the job of Gardeners really was, much less envision herself as a Gardener who would personally advance into the Chaos Space.

She has an excellent familial background and managed to maintain exemplary conduct and academic results all throughout, even getting to join the Climber of countless people's dreams to further her studies. Yet, after getting the approval to join the Climber, Achiwa went to Night Chains Land and had the time of her life as though she was an entirely different person. She was no longer the same person she used to be when she returned, becoming temperamental and impatient, so much so that she resorted to using her fists to convince fellow students at an academic debate. The change in her personality was not totally without warning, though. In fact, it would be accurate to say that she had merely given up on herself entirely upon not receiving the love and concern she desired despite her life's worth of hard work and repression.

Regardless, the Climber could never tolerate Achiwa's unreasonable behavior. They gave her two options: 1. take responsibility and withdraw from school; 2. contribute to society and regain the Climber's approval.

Plagued with remorse and shame upon self-reflection, Achiwa pulled herself together and quickly landed herself an internship in Anita with her abilities. She, alongside her newly modified demolition hammer, then came to a decision to live a more honorable life.

Achiwa used to love dining in restaurants. When she was younger, her mother would reward her with lots of money whenever she obtained excellent academic results. Though she wasn't that cognizant about the amount of money she had, it was always more than enough to buy her tons of tasty food. Hence, the young Achiwa would take her money to the family restaurant near her home and order a large serving of freshly made fries to munch away merrily. The food in the family restaurant was delicious, perfect for Achiwa's palette, but she never once got to go there with her family. After all, even when she summoned her courage to ask her mother to have a meal with her, the answer she would get was always something like "I'm too busy recently. Let's talk about it next time."

After Achiwa's family moved house, Achiwa never visited that restaurant again. She did go on to taste many more tasty foods as she grew up, but the jealousy she felt seeing those happy families in restaurants also intensified, leading her to loathe all kinds of crowded places. To liven up Achiwa's spirits, the part-time helper that Achiwa's mother hired to look after Achiwa offered to make the girl some food she liked.

...Alas, no delicacies she tasted all these years ever seemed to measure up to freshly made fries. While having downtime on The Eternal nowadays, Achiwa tends to sit by the window of the dining carriage and munch away on a box of perfectly fried crispy fries. If you're close enough with her, you may perhaps get to try a fry or two if you try your luck.
