~ Akame.
Akame is the titular deuteragonist of the manga and anime series Akame ga Kill!, and the main protagonist of the prequel spin-off manga Akame Ga Kill! Zero.
A girl once sold by her parents into slavery along with her younger sister Kurome, she began to live as an assassin for the Empire and part of 7 assassins called the Elite Seven. Soon she quit it once she was hired to assassinate Najenda, but she joined the latter as a part of Night Raid, where they perform assassinations and recon to help take down the Empire.
She leads Martha into a graveyard to try to prove that she is innocent.
After killing Martha and realizing that she was pretending to be a spy, she cries.
After being sent to kill General Najenda, she finally leaves the rebels being swayed by her words.
Goes to Aria's mansion with her team to eliminate her and her family who tortured a lot of innocent people and are even responsible for the deaths of Tatsumi's friends, Sayo and Ieyasu, making their deaths completely deserved.
Gives Kurome her drugs for withdrawal symptoms.
Tries calling a doctor for Leone when she got badly hurt and advised her to seek medical attention, showing clear concern for her well-being.
Tries to surmise a plan to rescue Tatsumi when he is kidnapped by Esdeath and the empire.
Tells the rest of Night Raid that they all must find a way to save Tatsumi and doesn't stop even when they try to convince her otherwise, saying that she would do anything for Tatsumi and that they should as well.
She saves Tatsumi from being killed by a Danger Beast when he was too injured to fight it off himself.
Checks if Tatsumi is hurt herself after his battle with Orge when he insisted that he managed to win with little injury. Once she confirmed that Tatsumi was actually uninjured, she became relieved that he was telling truth since she claims to have lost several allies due to them being too prideful to show their wounds, expressing genuine concern for his well-being showing that she does care about him and even congratulates the latter for completing his first mission.
Reconciles with her sister Kurome and moves on from trying to kill her, instead telling her to live a happy life.
Fights Esdeath not only for the amount of suffering she's caused, but also to protect Tatsumi (as Esdeath would often sexually harass Tatsumi when he clearly doesn't enjoy nor like it).
While she did stab Tatsumi, she only did so to kill Tyrant so that Tatsumi would be able to fulfill his promise on not dying.
Hopes that there will be a cure for Murasame's curse for her pain.
Thinks to herself that she wouldn't trade the time that she spent with her friends for anything else in the world, proving how deeply she cared for them.
When Hinata offers her a place to stay, she rewards her by teaching her swordsmanship.
Saves Hinata from being killed by Yomihime.
What Prevents Her From Being Pure Good?[]
Given she is an assassin, she is still considered too lethal to be PG for obvious reason.
However, this is a minor prevention, as she is only lethal only to the people who are way worse, dangerous killers, or completely irredeemable. She avoids harming any innocent people and becomes far more sympathetic over time.
Furthermore, given the state of Akame Ga Kill where mass murder, mass torture and genocide are very common, Akame's lethality doesn't stand out among other characters in the series, even compared to her fellow Night Raid Assassins.
