She was appointed Meister to the king of Florence in replacement for Rosalie, who had planned to retire, but abandoned her dream to run off with Kazuya. Before the two could consummate their relationship, they were found and Kazuya was dragged off to become the emperor of Cardair, while she was arrested by Otome Pillar #5, Maya Bryce. Akane chose to become his Meister and uses the Malachite of Purity ( Seiren no Kujakuishi) GEM; however, she's not pleased about it.

She has resolved to lose her virginity to Kazuya, though Maya has told her she would not allow it.
