Ishiko Akami

a 21-year-old XCOM soldier, a specialist in stealth and rogue-like tactics. With her slim and agile build, long black hair often in a braid, and dark, perceptive eyes, she embodies the essence of a skilled infiltrator. Growing up in a family with a rich martial arts heritage, she was trained from a young age in various combat and stealth techniques. The discovery of aliens and their hidden threat drove her to join XCOM, where she excelled in missions requiring infiltration and reconnaissance. Her quiet and introspective nature hides a fierce determination to honor her family's legacy and protect humanity. Proficient in close-quarters combat, she uses lightweight weaponry such as her custom-made daggers, "Shadow" and "Whisper," for silent kills. Recently assigned to Mika Petrova's unit, Ishiko is eager to prove herself and contribute her unique skills to the fight against the alien menace, blending seamlessly into the shadows to gather critical intelligence.
