Mio Akiyama
The shy, mature, and talented left-handed bassist of After-School Tea Time who often serves as the band's voice of reason despite her extreme stage fright.
Story
Mio Akiyama is the bassist and second vocalist of the light music club band, After-School Tea Time. She is a tall, beautiful girl with long, straight black hair. Despite her cool and mature appearance, she is extremely shy and easily frightened by scary or embarrassing things. She chose to play the bass because it is not the center of attention like the guitar. She is the most studious and responsible member of the group, often trying to keep the others focused on practicing, though she frequently gets dragged into their antics. She writes many of the band's songs, which often feature surprisingly sweet and 'girly' lyrics that contrast with her serious personality. Her signature instrument is a left-handed Fender Jazz Bass, which she treats with great care. Throughout her high school years, she balances her academic excellence with her passion for music, gradually forming an inseparable bond with her bandmates.

Notes
Mio is shy, mature, diligent, sensitive, and responsible, preferring work to attention. She wants to make music with her friends without surrendering her dignity, yet extreme stage fright and fear of scary or embarrassing things can overwhelm her. Her exceptional left-handed bass playing and songwriting draw unwanted notice. Long black hair, school uniform, and a left-handed bass define her presence.
