Profile: Akari Unryuu comes from a long line of trainers who raise and train pigs for fighting. Akari loves pigs, and their potential strength as warriors. A favorite of hers turned out to be one of the best "sumo-pigs" in the country - Katsunishiki. It was even said by her father that only a man who could defeat Katsunishiki in battle was worthy of becoming Akari's husband.
When Akari first saw Ryoga Hibiki, she fell inlove with him. This love got even stronger as Ryoga happened to defeat Katsunishiki in battle, and of course, when Akari found out that Ryoga turns into a little black pig. This made Akari see Ryoga as the perfect match for her because of these qualities. Thus, Akari pursues Ryoga, who isn't really sure who he loves for real - Akane or Akari.
Personality: (NOTE: I haven't gotten a copy of the manga yet, and Akari definitely is not here in the U.S. on video, so there's not much to tell.) Akari seems to be a very sweet girl. She is of course, very determined, and is trying to get Ryoga as a husband. She probably sees that Ryoga loves Akane, and is trying to get him away from her, but not in any devious or underhanded way.
