History:

Born to the daughter of a Japanese millionaire, Keiko Nara Fugunaga-Moonfire, and an American business man, Baxter Moonfire, baby Akina had been destined for greatness since day one. She was raised and schooled in her hometown, Kitakyushu, until the age of seven when a bomb killed her parents and left her temporarilly blind in her right eye. Young Akina requested to by taken to America, where her aged great-aunt, Elspeth Moonfire, became her legal guardian.

The seemingly normal Elspether sent Akina to a boarding school in Boston, right up until the eve of her thirteenth birthday. Sitting the teenage girl - angry at being taken away from her friends - down, Elspeth explained why she had done what she did.

From the first moment Elspeth had set eyes on Akina, she has sensed both the mutant gene and incredible mystical potential within the young girl. She had withdrawn her great-neice from her school in order to tutor her in both, the moment they flourished.

The years that followed were difficult and strained Akina to no end - but Elspeth continued to push her. Finally, on her twentieth birthday, her training in her mutant ability to control negative energy and her vast power to manipulate the magics had ended.

At some point in the following months, a Circle of Thorns Guide killed Elspeth in panic after she had blocked his way after he'd stolen a ruby from the museum the two had been visiting. Swearing revenge on the Circle of Thorns, Akina tracked them down to a remote metropolis known as Paragon City. She booked herself a flight to the city. First, however, she took Elspeth to Kitakyushu to be buried with her nephew, Baxter.

Finally, she travelled to Paragon, at first acting as a solo agent against the Circle of Thorns, using her wealth to fund her adventures (buying equiptment and paying for damage caused etc.).

After a near death experiance - fighting the Netherworldly serpant-faced woman, Zsaji (with the ability to bring painful memories to the surface, and force her victims to relive them) - which was only averted by the timely assistance of veteran hero, Midnight Sonata, Akina agreed to join the Shadow of Redemption. She registered with the City Council as Ebony Moonfire.

In more recent times, Akina has been forced to fight several other Netherworldly beings, prompting her to take up the mantle that Elspeth left behind: Sorceress Supreme of the Netherworld. Finding it difficult to work with many of the members of the Shadow of Redemption, Akina has begun to stray back into a solo career.

After a journey to the Netherworld - wherein Ebony Moonfire was forced to battle thousands of rogue dead souls (all desperate to take control of the dimension of the dead) - Akina has found a lifelong friend in the spirit of a dead horse, Deathwind. She now possesses a telepathic report with Deathwind and can summon him to her aid.
