{{Quote|I welcome anything as long as it’s cute♪|Akiyama Mizuki (Original)}}{{Quote|I'm still me, but is that ok?|Akiyama Mizuki (Brand New World)}}
{{Nihongo|'''Akiyama Mizuki'''|({{Ruby|暁|あき}}{{Ruby|山|やま}}{{Ruby|瑞|みず}}{{Ruby|希|き}})}} is a second year student at [[Kamiyama High School]]. They are the animator of the underground music circle [[25-ji, Nightcord de.]], going by the alias "'''Amia'''".

==Background==
{{Spoiler/Section}}
{{Blurb|Kind of moody and obsessed with anything cute. Falling in love with one of Kanade's songs found at random online, Mizuki created a music video for it, which in turn caught Kanade's attention. That's how Mizuki became the group's animator. Friends though they may be, Mizuki keeps a big secret from the rest of the group.|3=mizuki}}

Mizuki is an animator and video maker who uploads music videos online. They were captivated by [[Yoisaki Kanade|Kanade]]'s music upon listening to it, and made a music video for the song. Kanade invited Mizuki to 25-ji, Nightcord de. after seeing this video.

Mizuki also has an older sister, [[Other Characters/25-ji, Nightcord de.#Akiyama Yuuki|Yuuki]], who is a fashion designer living overseas, and inspired Mizuki's love of fashion.

Mizuki has been treated as an outcast for their fashion style and honest personality since elementary school. They wore the cute clothes their older sister made for them, and received compliments but also judgement from their peers. Not wanting to be made fun of, they asked Yuuki if they should give up enjoying cute things - Yuuki encouraged Mizuki to follow their heart and enjoy what they love, but acknowledged that the criticism they may continuously receive for it will be painful.<ref>[[Next to the Unchanging Warmth|Next to the Unchanging Warmth Event Story]]</ref>

Mizuki expresses frustration for the contempt they have received, not understanding why others feel compelled to judge them for it. Their irregular school attendance is implied to be Mizuki trying to avoid negative attention from their classmates. During junior high, they spent much of their time on the rooftop and met [[Kamishiro Rui|Rui]], one of their only friends before becoming part of Nightcord.<ref>[[KAMIYAMA HIGH FESTIVAL!/Story|KAMIYAMA HIGH FESTIVAL! Event Story]]</ref>

As a first year, Mizuki was classmates with [[Shiraishi An|An]] in class 1-A. As a second year, they are classmates with [[Aoyagi Toya|Toya]] in class 2-B.

==Appearance==
Mizuki has light pink eyes and hair, slightly curled and worn in a side ponytail tied with a ribbon. Two even strands of hair are let loose, framing their face. They have pale skin and wear pink mascara.

===Casual outfit===
Their initial casual outfit consists of a knee-length blue-gray pleated skirt with two frills on each side and suspender straps, leading to a loose, off-white, button-up, peasant top. Their hair is held up with a black bow, and uses a similar-looking ribbon as a bow tie, with the brand "CubeRouge" written along one of the strands in gold.

In their second year, their casual outfit is a grey blouse with white trims at their collar, sleeves and buttons. They wear a pair of long pink pants that reveal a darker pink lace pattern through the middle of each leg, as well as pink suspenders. Below the waistband is a slightly ruffled design that holds Mizuki's belt, which is pale dull pink and has a silver circular buckle. In their hair, Mizuki wears a pastel and maroon bow with a heart charm.

===Unit outfit===
Their initial unit outfit, they wear a black sailor uniform. The collar of their uniform is light gray with a black-and-pink ribbon. They wear a gray striped skirt, ruffled with frills and lace on the hem of the skirt. The outer layer of the skirt is held at the left side with a ribbon, exposing the inner layers of the skirt. They wear thigh-high black socks, as well as strappy black heeled shoes.

In their second year, their unit oufit has a grey blouse with black lace trim at their sleeves, and two bows, brown and grey, at their collar. On top of the blouse is a black dress that transitions to grey with prints of grey daisies, as white ruffles decorate the hem. They wear a black band with a black belt and silver hearts buckle over their waist. Mizuki also wears grey stockings, black boots, and a black ribbon with their ponytail.

==Personality==
{{Spoiler/Section}}

Mizuki is a moody person, and Kanade thinks they only act on their own principles. They have a strong desire to express themselves freely, and can become frustrated and upset when ridiculed. They have an obsession with cute things, expressing it through their hand-altered fashion.

Despite their energetic, carefree, and sometimes childish demeanor, Mizuki is often shown to be the most mature member of their circle, as [[Shinonome Ena|Ena]] admits.<ref>[[The Best Angle/Card Story|The Best Angle Card Story]]</ref> They often assume the role of mediator in arguments, breaking things up between [[Asahina Mafuyu|Mafuyu]] and Ena.

Mizuki is great at understanding the emotions of others, and is able to sense changes in tension and atmosphere in the group. Despite this, Mizuki tends to keep their distance, keeping their true feelings and secrets hidden from even their close friends. They have a strong recognition of the struggles their fellow members face, yet fear that they won't be accepted if they're too open about themself. It seems that they stay secretive, to an extent, from an understanding that everyone has things they want to keep hidden.

==Etymology==
'''Akiyama''' (暁山): '''Aki''' (暁) means "dawn, sunrise", and '''Yama''' (山) means "mountain".

'''Mizuki''' (瑞希): '''Mizu''' (瑞) means "congratulations", while '''Ki''' (希) means "hope". It is a unisex name.

Mizuki's username, '''Amia''', comes from the villain of a magical girl anime Mizuki likes, named Mia.<ref>[[And Now, I Wear This Ribbon|And Now, I Wear This Ribbon Event Story]]</ref>
