== Charactah Account ==
The 13th Generation Acchan was the idol of idols. A passionate yet quiet young woman who could be surprisingly shy. Once she got on stage though, was she a sight to behold. As the Center Nova, she led the performances with a radiance that outshined all her peers, inspiring them, or in Yuko's case, prompting a desperate game of catch-up. Then she just disappeared on day in the middle of a concert, sometime before the 77th Generation was recruited. Her disappearance is a big influence on AKB0048, both on the group as a whole and on certain individual members.
Atsuko was shy and reserved, but when she stepped onto the stage, the Kirara all flocked to her in a glowing light, giving her some sort of confidence. It was like if she was wearing a 'Dress of Light'. Acchan was also best friends with Tsubasa. In Tsubasa's flashback in Episode 13, Acchan told Tsubasa that she preformed as a member of AKB0048 because she wanted to see the audience.
