The first appearance doesn't do it justice and she's made to be a villain without indications of her own backstory early on. All the zodiac characters had a sad backstory especially with family outside the zodiac. In regards her orginal appearance just was a short haired person who seemed to be a bit twisted. nothing more. The first anime didn't go to much further then showing Akito's first appearance however and ended short. It was assumed by people who didn't read the books she was a guy as it wasn't enough to go too far into character development with her. She being an having the spirit of the goddess allowed her more control over the zodiac while having her own traumas still. In regards her own way of dealing with it was a backlash on the other zodiac animals. To be fair Kyo and Yuki had their sense of traumas also. shigure had a deep feeling of guilt and believed he wasn't forgiven and he himself had taken in Tohru partially for it. Yuki's brother lives with guilt and they had traumatic experiences with family. Every single zodiac character had something to deal with including Akito. i don't know why i got an edit on this but the person who wrote me that she's frail so she couldn't be a goddess in the original 2001 anime hasn't caught up with the 2019 remake. The shows almost directly the same as the 2001 anime. Also she is still frail in the updated anime. She can't even handle places that aren't dark and has been shown to get sick with shigure helping her. Finally the original 2001 anime did not disguishing her as not being female. They introduced her and pretty much the show didn't go further then that.
