As a child, Atsuko had a terrible childhood where she was always isolated by the society and found solace in arcade games. She even had once possessed a doll named Lilia which she lost it sometime later.
During her job in XIG, she befriended Georgie Leland , an American worker and operator of XIG. Initially, she had a favor with Katsumi Kajio from Team Lightning but quit after he has a relationship with her sister. Atsuko always give Gamu Takayama, XIG's analyser and new recruit a cold shoulder, although she did shows her warming side towards him, to the point where she broke her pen twice when sensing "something wrong" with Gamu while he was at Germany.
