Her outfit is dark green with gold trims, and consists of a long sleeved coat on top of a long skirt. Her jacket's cuffs are yellow with a dark green band around the center, and she wears a green and gold band around her right arm. Over top of her shirt she has a brown belt around her waist and shoulder with gold adornments. The belt holds a green, yellow, blue, and white plaid shawl in place. Her dark green skirt has a yellow zig-zag pattern at the base, with a white stripe underneath, and the hem is decorated with white frills. She wears white knitted knee-high socks with green ribbons on either side. Her shoes are simple loafers with brown buckles, the left shoe being white, and the right is brown.

Trivia
- Her initial character profile was uploaded to the official Twitter account on June 1, 2017.
- This tweet was a character name prediction quiz, that encouraged fans to try and guess which horse she's named after. The hint was "She is a bookworm with a very reserved personality, but is a consistent competitor in races. She is working hard so she may one day study abroad in England."
- She makes a cameo in the 20th episode of Umayuru, appearing as a chip in the Mahjong game.
- Her chip was used to make a hand called "East Titan", this hand included her, Symboli Kris S and Taiki Shuttle. This is because the three of them won the Japan Horse of the Year Award.
- Character Design Notes from Umamusume: Pretty Derby Artworks Vol. 03:
- An ethnic dress inspired by the Scottish folk hero "Rob Roy", the tartan cape especially is a focal point.
- The single green stripe on the jockey silk is kept as is, and the yellow and green sawtooth pattern is boldly used as a pattern on the skirt. The design is toned down to match the style of the cloths and the character's personality.
- As the motif horse only has a white mark on the left hind leg, her leather shoes have mismatched color as a design.
- She is very ticklish.[3]
- She is afraid of ghosts.
- Automated doors don't respond to her presence immediately.[4]
- She tends to act out scenes from books out loud in public.[5]
- She likes going to the zoo.[6]
- In her career story, fans talk about a certain Umamusume who won both the NHK Mile Cup and the Japanese Derby.[7] This Umamusume is a reference to the real horse King Kamehameha, who won both races in 2004.
- While she is at summer camp in her senior year, numerous journalists swarm the camp to observe a junior-year Umamusume who could make a "profound impact" in the URA.[8] This is a reference to the real horse Deep Impact, who debuted in 2004 and went on to win seven G1 races, including the Triple Crown. Deep Impact and King Kamehameha both have the same owner, Makoto Kaneko.
- In her good ending, Zenno Rob Roy receives an offer to travel to England to compete in races. This is a nod to real life, as Zenno Rob Roy challenged the International Stakes in 2005 for the wish of his owner and trainer.[9]
- She likes to go to collab shops that collaborate with her favorite novels.[10]
