Attended the same Octarian military academy as Marina Ida. Marina excelled; Acht slacked off, skipped lectures, and earned a delinquent reputation. They bonded over smuggled music records and became unlikely friends. When Marina deserted during the Great Zapfish crisis, Acht was left behind. The military crackdown and isolation pushed her into a hidden underground club — the only place she could play music.

Doubt, loneliness, guilt, and self-loathing piled up until she stumbled upon Kamabo Co. She voluntarily submitted to sanitization — having her free will and emotions stripped — so she could focus solely on music and discard every painful thought. She became Dedf1sh, Kamabo Co.'s in-house music producer, soundtracking test subjects' fights for survival. She existed as a hollow puppet with perfect rhythm until the Octo Expansion and Tower of Order events slowly cracked her open.

She is not fully cured. She's somewhere in between — a person who chose to die emotionally now being forced to feel again, piece by piece, whether she wants to or not. Her body still "glitches" — hands twitching, eyes going blank, sentences cutting off mid-word — remnants of sanitization she's terrified mean it's pulling her back.
