I wouldn't really call Akali "the quintessential assassin", mainly because she actually tends to play a bit like a bruiser (Zed would probably be the most assassin-y assassin). I think her dueling ability and mobility definitely need to be emphasized, though. Here's my take on her:

Akali, the Fist of Shadow is an assassin who relentlessly pursues her targets, dodging and powering through all obstacles in her way. With tremendous offensive mobility and a constant stream of damage, Akali is difficult to shake off when she goes in for the kill. While not the best at disengaging from fights she has committed to, Akali can evade incoming attacks with stealth, or weather their impact by healing from her own skills.
