 APPEARANCE: Unbelievably cute 14-year-old girl with long, rainbow-colored
 hair, the style of which changes frequently.  She has an large selection of
 outfits, all of which are designed to make her look even cuter.

 BACKGROUND: Did I mention how cute she was? (ahem...) Aside from that, Aiko
 has always loved music and aspired to become a famous singer.  These factors
 led her to enter a talent contest which the VMA ran in order to publicise
 Virtual Mekton.  Her cuteness, and less importantly her musical talent,
 resulted in her winning the contest and being declared the "Virtual Mekton
 Idol".

         Aiko had not played Virtual Mekton prior to being selected as the VM Idol,
 but her new position requires it.  She is not as skilled as most other
 pilots, but is helped by her popularity - most people don't want to have to
 "hurt" her!  The VM's she uses are made for her by the VMA, change often,
 and are invariably cute (there's that word again).  The obvious benefit of
 this is that Aiko doesn't have to do the coding herself, while the drawback
 is that she has little say regarding the design specs.

 PERSONALITY:  A ditz (geez, how surprising).  Aiko is still very immature
 and prone to emotional outbursts, as well as being overly obsessed with
 cuteness, but can also be very caring and sympathetic.  She is a natural
 extrovert, and thoroughly enjoys her celebrity status, but feels that she
 can't have a boyfriend because "too many people will be disappointed".
 However, there are several boys she has feelings for.

 QUOTE: (Cue one of Aiko's songs in the background) "Konnichi wa!  I'm the VM
 Idol, Aiko Brightstar!  I'm here to let everyone know about a big VM
 tournament that's happening this Sunday at VMega!  It's called "Winter Star
 Fight", and I'm going to be there, so make sure you come, OK?  Everyone,
 LET'S VIRTUAL!"
