Description
Elza Forte is a central figure in the second season of her series, known as the owner and headmistress of the luxurious training academy Venus Ark, a cruise ship that travels the world in search of talent. She is a top idol who also serves as the head of her own brand, Perfect Queen. Elza is often referred to by the nickname Perfect Elza or the Idol Pirate, a title that reflects her practice of scouting exceptional idols from other schools to join her ranks.
Her background reveals that she is the heiress to Monaco, which positions her as a princess of that country. Her mother, Yukie Grace Forte, was a legendary top idol who owned the legendary Sun Dress, and Elza's drive for perfection is deeply rooted in a childhood marked by her mother's absence due to work. As a child, she believed that by becoming the perfect idol, she would finally earn the love and acknowledgment from her mother that she always desired.
In terms of personality, Elza is a strict and unwavering perfectionist who values authority, power, and results above all else. She has a cold and calculating demeanor, often disregarding those she deems unworthy or whose sparkle has faded, as demonstrated when she immediately expelled a student whose performance declined. She believes that endless effort is the path to becoming a perfect idol and holds herself and everyone on her ship to the highest possible standard. Despite her cold exterior, her quest for perfection is driven by a deep-seated emotional need for maternal affection, revealing a more vulnerable side that she rarely shows.
Elza’s primary motivation is to obtain the Sun Premium Dress, a legendary outfit she believes is the ultimate symbol of perfection. To achieve this, she gathered talented idols on Venus Ark to draw out various Star Premium Dresses, intending to combine them into the Sun Dress for herself. Her role in the story is that of a formidable rival to the protagonist, Yume Nijino, and other idols at Four Star Academy. She initially tries to scout Hime Shiratori, the top idol of Four Star Academy, and when that fails, she attempts to use Yume as bait to lure Hime, though she eventually develops a genuine interest in Yume’s potential and sees her as a worthy opponent.
Key relationships include her right-hand woman, Rei Kizaki, a top model who is completely devoted to Elza. She has a strong admiration for Kirara Hanazono and recognizes the design talent in Koharu Nanakura, whom she entrusts with creating her brand's outfits. Her relationship with Yume evolves from seeing her as a mere tool to acknowledging her as a rival who can challenge her definition of perfection.
Throughout the story, Elza undergoes significant development. After finally obtaining the Sun Dress, she becomes more self-centered and announces the disbandment of Venus Ark, believing she no longer needs anyone else. However, after a decisive final competition where she loses to Yume, she has an emotional reunion with her mother, which softens her resolve. Instead of completely disbanding her school, she transforms it into Neo Venus Ark. This new academy marks a major shift in her philosophy, as it shifts from only gathering talented idols to welcoming anyone who dreams of becoming an idol, signifying her personal and spiritual growth.
Elza possesses several notable abilities. She is an extraordinarily talented performer and was the first idol to acquire Star Premium Rare outfits, specifically the wings of Venus. Her ultimate achievement is obtaining the legendary Sun Dress. She also uses advanced VR training systems to push her students to their limits.
