==Equipment==
*Naught: Acheron carried an ōdachi-style sword called "Naught," though she rarely drew it from its sheath. On her homeworld of Izumo, twelve blades were forged from the remains of powerful beings known as the "Yaoyorozu-no-Kami." These blades were referred to as "Edict Edges" and "Sentinels." Containing the powers of mighty Kami within, the Sentinels each possessed unique supernatural abilities and could be used to slay Kami. The Edict Edges were later shattered and reforged into two blades: "Origin" and "End," which represented the nature of a warrior's decline into an oni. Acheron wielded Origin against End for the fate of her world, causing both of the blades to shatter. After Acheron realized the quest for peace had been meaningless all along, the remains of Origin were transformed into Naught: a new weapon forged through the power of the Nihility.

==Trivia==
*Acheron's Chinese and Japanese voice actresses, Juhuahua and respectively, both also voiced the characters Raiden Mei from the video game Honkai Impact 3rd and Raiden Ei and Raiden Makoto from the video game Genshin Impact. Honkai Impact 3rd and Genshin Impact are both developed by miHoYo, the studio behind the creation of Honkai: Star Rail, and both belong to an overarching connected fictional multiverse in which Honkai: Star Rail also takes place. Raiden Mei, Raiden Ei, and Raiden Makoto all shared similar physical and thematic similarities to Acheron, leading fans of miHoYo games to conclude that they were all alternate reality versions of one another.
**Whereas the Chinese and Japanese versions of Acheron retain the same voice actresses behind the performances of Mei, Ei, and Makoto, the English version deviated. In the English version of Genshin Impact, the roles of Ei and Makoto were performed by actress , which led to some fan disappointment when Allegra Clark was revealed to be voicing Acheron. Clark received negative messages on social media, which Yatco and others denounced.
