Akane is what one could call a "bleeding heart". She cares for everyone, even people who have royally screwed her over in the past. She will actively give her life for anyone, regardless of what they've done or who they are. Not only is she sympathetic, but also empathetic, able to almost read the emotions right out of the air around people, giving her an understanding of someone's emotional state without really even knowing them. Even the most stoic of hardasses can usually have some hole in their defense that Akane can see through.
This can be as much of a downfall as it is a perk. On the one hand, while her empathy can get her close to people who are trusting relatively quickly, as she can relate to them, it can also push people away who don't want to trust her, or make people loathe her for being nosy or bringing up observations that she "should keep to herself". She doesn't intentionally say things that could be hurtful, she's just a bit oblivious to how certain comments could bring up certain memories or feelings.
On the surface, she seems innocently ignorant of her own shortcomings as a shinigami, or mockery from others - Her father had said that she's unable to truly hate anyone, even the worst of traitors. Akane is just too sensitive to be a decent fighter, to the point where she even tries to help wounded enemies from time to time, unless directly ordered otherwise.
