Atsuko Kagari

Atsuko Kagari is one of those magic wielders who isn't Precure or a knight like Hikaru, she's a witch. And a special witch, as she owns one of the most powerful artifacts - the Brilliant Wand and the Shooting Star. But also one of the Grand Charion pilots.

## Appearance

Akko is a slightly pale-skinned girl of medium height with long, straight, chestnut brown hair that reaches about just below her shoulder blades, with matching blunt square bangs on the left side, part of which is tied into a half ponytail at the back of her head, and large crimson eyes.

Like the other Luna Nova students, Luna Nova Akko Academy's standard uniform consists of a long-sleeved white shirt, a navy blue vest, a matching tie, and a skirt. When out of school, she wore a button-up jacket draped over said set of uniforms. On the other hand, during practice and school activities, she wears a uniform consisting of a long dark blue hooded tunic, pointed hat, body belt, stockings, and long boots. Like her friends Lotta and Sucy, she completes her uniform with a red sash.

On weekends, Akko wears a white T-shirt and brown shorts, which also serve as her pajamas. She was also occasionally shown wearing an orange turtleneck over a T-shirt and brown athletic boots with white laces (on some occasions in "Blue Moon"). On the other hand, heading to Glastonbury for the opening ceremony of Luna Nova, she wore an orange hooded jacket, a blue turtleneck with a lighter collar, brown shorts and red boots.

## Personality

Akko is best described as cheerful and optimistic, yet impulsive and determined at the same time, in keeping with her usual exaggerated expressions. She is always ready to take on a challenge, even if it seems too difficult for her and everyone else. Since Akko is very outgoing, kind, and truly compassionate, people are often drawn to her cheerful disposition. She will do anything to fulfill her dream of becoming a talented witch like Chariot, even if it means putting her life in danger. In addition, Akko has an idealized take on witches, inspired by her childhood idol Shiny Chariot, which conflicts with the perception of her fellow students. As a fan of Shiny Chariot, she hangs a poster of it in her room and Shiny Chariot is often idealized in her fantasies. It is worth mentioning that she is also very immersed in her own fantasies and sometimes does not take into account the opinions of other witches. This does not mean that she is a selfish person: in the short films, Akko realizes that she is almost jeopardizing her friendship with Shucy and Lotte, which leads to her becoming sympathetic for what she did.

## Story

Her fate is similar to that of Show Zama, she also ended up in a magical dimension by accident. Akko was born in Chiba Prefecture, Japan to a family with no magical background. When she was six years old, her parents took her to the magic show Shiny Chariot. Amazed and inspired by the series, she wished she could someday become a witch like Shiny Chariot.

One day, she learned that Luna Nova Academy, the school that Chariot graduated from, accepts students without magical inheritance. Despite her complete ignorance of magic, she managed to enter there.

At that time, she was expecting something interesting at the academy, but her dreams were shattered when she found out the truth, where there is solid theory, instead of magic. At that time, she was one of the most backward students, and she was on the verge of being expelled. But fate changed drastically when the Evil Spirits called Zakenna attacked, while Dunbine and the other Aura Battlers fought them, Atsuko became one of the pilots of that huge robot to also help in the fight against them. And although she was able to avoid being expelled, she was given academic leave so that she would enter the battle and be able to fight the spirits already, hoping that she could learn how to use magic.
