꧁ like mother, like daughter ꧂

That baby doesn't even look like me

Akita and Kataru moved to Ninjago city after their home in the mountains was destroyed by Vex (Possibly Ice emperor, but he wouldn't be Zane), and due to being underage Akita is forced to go to Ninjago High.

Her first thought when seeing Lloyd at school, "Ah, so here is a runt." She thinks he's pathetic, and does not get why everyone is giving him shit for his dad. Like her dad turned into a bunny rabbit and she's a wolf and Kataru is a bear.

Harumi is the mean girl of the school and totally fucked with Lloyd's feelings for a prank.

Akita totally runs off into the jungle outside the city in her wolf form to get away from everything, and there she finds the runt (Lloyd, he does the same thing), and she unwittingly becomes a therapy dog, because this man will not shut up.

The nightly meetings keep happening for weeks on end. Akita is pleasantly surprised to find that while utterly pathetic at standing up for himself, the Runt is actually very kind hearted.

Of course, the wolf is eventually let out of the bag, and she transforms in front of Lloyd, who feels very blindsided and they have a spat. He does not want to get close to someone only for the rug to be pulled out from under him, still Lloyd doesn't say anything about Akita being a formling at school or to the ninja force out of respect for her privacy. He's keeping a secret too, he gets it.

They make up. Akita volunteers to work on a project with Lloyd for some class, and uses their first meeting to apologize and take accountability for her deception, she didn't mean to lie, but she did. She explains her own back story and why she and her brother are alone in Ninjago City.

"This is how I knew you were not evil, Lloyd. I have already seen it. You are not it." - Akita

Connection Blossoms! What follows it awkward feeling realizations and dates.

Lloyd either takes Akita out for ice cream, or possibly to that one Shushi place that hasn't banned him (Same one that Garm and Koko went too years ago).

Akita takes him fishing and to shoot arrows in the jungle.

The Ninja are initially skeptical, but after seeing Akita stand up for Lloyd in school they are dragging her to every free time hangout they have, and is welcomed into the friend group instantly.

The entire school is either weirded out by Akita or scared of her, once her and Lloyd's "courtship" becomes public knowledge.

Koko totally approves! Like Akita is just a younger her, and she's jsut so happy someone cares about her son so much that is doesn't matter who his dad is. It's also lowkey hilarious that Lloyd ended up with the exact taste in "Dangerous Women" that Garm had despite the man not talking to Lloyd in years.

Kataru is a little worried, like he's heard rumors of Lloyd and seen Garmadon attacks up close, but he knows there's not stopping Akita once she sets her mind. Wolves mate for life after all.

Speaking of Garmadon, this man totally invades the city just to give his son's new girlfriend the shovel talk (He heard on the news since these guys are way to invested in Lloyd's life.)

Meanwhile Lloyd's panicking because that's his new girlfriend in hands of his dad, and he can't say anything while confronting Garmadon because he can't reveal his identity of the green-ninja. He also thinks he's going to get dumped for this later.

Akita just growls at Garmadon and threatens to dismember him.

Garm approves of his son's choice in future warlord queen, and forever refers to Akita, as "Kiki".

Too Lloyd's shock he is not broken up with...and that Akita figured out his secret identity.

Apparently, Lloyd Garmadon smells exactly like the Green Ninja.

Wu clocks that she's a formling on first glance but says nothing. He's just happy for his nephew. He also totally starts playing romantic disney songs on is flute whenever they are together around him.

I'm torn between, having Akita join the secret Ninja force on the mission for the Ultimate Ultimate Weapon, or having her and Koko freak out together looking all over the city for Lloyd.

She's totally smug about being the girlfriend of the "Green Ninja" once Lloyd's identity is out in the open. Half of the popular girls, and some of the boys, are totally jealous that she landed a hero with out trying.

With nothing to conquer now, Garm turns his forces on the monsters that took Akita's home and vows to liberate his future daughter-in-law's people. (he cares in his own way)

Cousin Morro comes back from College for summer break and is just so confused, "I left for one semester, a giant cat attacks the city, the ninja's identities are revealed, Aunt Koko and Uncle Garmadon are talking again, and Lloyd GOT A GIRLFRIEND!? No offense Akita, I like you, but really? You could've done so much better." "Hey! (Lloyd)"
