Appearance

Atop her head she wears bright red sunglasses, and on her left ear is a red scrunchie, decorated with gray trim, and accessorized with a string of pearls and gold charms. Her eyes are purple, and she has a mole under her right eye. She wears lipstick, so her lips are noticeably fuller than other Umamusume.
Her racing outfit consists of an off-shoulder red dress, with various white accents and gold trimming. The collar of the dress folds downwards, tied at the center with a white, red, and black ribbon, and she has two white stars on either side of her chest, The dress' sleeves reach her lower arm, and puff out at the end.
