To all appearances, Ikra and Jack formed a close bond. Ikra using pyrokinesis to explain her father's imprisonment to Jack.Īfter Aku pretended to be a warrior woman who was named Ikra, he traveled with Jack across the desert, and battled many dangers together with Jack. Her appearance was a result of Aku shape-shifting into a young woman with green skin, black hair, a black dress, and red lips. Ikra was marked by the same green-black color coding that marked Aku's alternate forms.
After she came close to the Desert Oasis Jewel, Ikra's failure to pass the Jewel's test of purity revealed her true nature as the embodiment of darkness. To get close to Jack, Aku played at enjoying Jack's company, partook in many adventures with him, and even saved him from drowning in quicksand instead of allowing him to die. As Ikra, Aku pretended to be portrayed as soft-spoken, cool, and elegant.
