Appearance
Daitaku Helios has brown hair with blue highlights, tied into a left side ponytail at the back, and adorned with a golden star-shaped hairclip to the left of her bangs. Her tail fades from brown to a light gray color. She wears white ear covers decorated with two pairs of multicolored earrings. The right ear cover additionally is decorated with a silver chain and larger earrings: a dark blue triangle and a lighter blue square. She also has multicolored star and triangle-shaped makeup on her upper cheeks, below her eyes. Her fingernails are painted in a variety of vibrant colors from blue, light blue, and yellow. She also has a small snaggletooth that can be seen whenever she smiles or otherwise opens her mouth.
For her race outfit, Daitaku Helios wears a deep blue shirt with a yellow stripe and black accents around the upper torso and the edges of the sleeves, and is tied into a bow at the left waistline. The shirt has two holes along the sleeves. She wears white shorts fastened by a blue, white, and yellow striped belt with a red and light-blue buckle, as well as another lighter blue strap fastened around her right waistline. Her shoes are blue rain boots with yellow buckles and black soles. She wears several accessories, including several multicolored armbands, green and orange beaded bracelets, and a gold necklace with a light blue letter "D".
Relationships
- Mejiro Palmer - Best friend, or "my super runaway bestie" according to Helios herself. They have a strong friendship that can be also described as "partners in crime", and often get into various hijinks and trouble as they can be a bit reckless, loud and extroverted.
- Mejiro Ardan - Friend. Ardan does not fully understand Helios' lingo, but she respects her as a friend of Palmer's, and even gets interested in gyaru speech herself. To Helios' delight, Ardan even says "wei" on occasion due to Helios' influence.
- Tap Dance City - Friend and roommate. Both of them can be very loud party animals, which frequently gets them into trouble. They've also tried to smuggle disco balls into the academy, much to Fuji Kiseki's dismay.
- K.S.Miracle - Friend and rival. Miracle does not share Helios' general worldview, but she respects Helios and enjoys being around her. When Miracle falls ill, Helios grows concern for her like the rest of her fellow sprinters, and looks out for her in her own way.
- Yamanin Zephyr - Friend and rival. They both hang out and train together from time to time.
- Tosen Jordan - Good friend and fellow Gal. The two share a love for fashion and thus have bonded over this.
- Daiichi Ruby - Rival. Helios is hopelessly in love with her to the point of collapsing when they first met, but this love goes mostly unrequited. While Ruby is annoyed by how Helios never tries to make time in her schedule, she respects her as a racer despite their differing views on racing.
- IRL - The two real horses were heavily paired up by fans, but ultimately never mated.
- Ines Fujin - Friend from the same Generation.
- Matikanetannhauser - Friend.
- Katsuragi Ace - Friend. Both became friends through Palmer's connection. They get along well, even though Ace can be seen having a hard time in understanding Helios' lingo.
- They both share the same Runaway (大逃げ oonige) running style, same as Palmer and Tap. This is most likely the basis for friendship and roommate arrangement between the four of them.
- Fusaichi Pandora - Friend and underclassman. They sing karaoke together, and Fusaichi Pandora admires her as a fellow gyaru.

Trivia
- She was announced through the official anime website on January 5th, 2021, the day that episode one of Season 2 aired.
- In the original Japanese release, Daitaku Helios uses gyaru terms in her dialogue. In the Global release, she uses zoomer terms instead.
- Daiichi Ruby's dog, Sapphy, appears to be based on First Sapphy, a fan-made foal between the real-life Daitaku Helios and Daiichi Ruby featured in the horse racing simulator series Winning Post. Incidentally, this game also contains a horse named Second Sapphy, a fan-made foal between Daitaku Yamato (a real son of Helios) and Daiichi Cigar (a real daughter of Ruby)
- Daitaku Helios' real-life last crop was not born to Daiichi Ruby but was named First Sapphy in reference to this fan-made horse. Despite a pedigree that would have made her an incredible turf sprinter, she did not register with the JRA, debuted on dirt, and ran 141 local dirt races with a race record of 2-4-5-130.
- Helios' real life counterpart liked to prank his caretakers by playing dead and dropping to the ground. This is referenced in both season two of the original anime and in the 'family' section of her in-game biography.
- Helios is often seen laughing mid-race. This is in reference to Helios' real life counterpart being nicknamed "laughing horse", as the horse frequently raced with his mouth wide open.
