As in other media, she serves as the student council vice president, and while she maintains her image of being nervous and flawless, she is also well-liked for her ability to lead her juniors in both training and mental health. Her admiration for her mother, who achieved great things as an Uma Musume, was her formative experience as a racing Uma Musume, and her strict demeanor as an "empress" was also acquired while pursuing her ideals. However, she does not believe that simply achieving results in races is enough, and she devotes herself to the Uma Musume with a nearly devoted attitude, serving as an officer and mentoring juniors who the school's system cannot fully cover. As this naturally reduces the time she has to devote to training, she has turned down several trainers due to differences in values, and at one point began to distrust trainers in general. Cleaning is her way of relieving stress, and when she feels mentally overwhelmed, she will clean the room of a trainer who is neglecting cleaning to her heart's content. Her memory seems to become hazy while she is cleaning, and in-game, only the trainer and Symboli Rudolf know this. If she carelessly calls out to them, she will be forced to help without question. She doesn't like "suddenly bright things" and hates camera flashes. She resents when scoundrels who blend in with reporters use flashes on school grounds. According to her mother, she was once startled by thunder. Not only is she busy enough, but she also grows flowers in the flower bed behind the school building, and her activities go beyond just a hobby, from practical products like herbal tea to carnations (available in red, white, and yellow) for students to give as Mother's Day gifts. She doesn't like insects, but she seems to love ladybugs, which prey on pests like aphids, and has formed a "Ladybug Management Society" with Eishin Flash. In real life, yellow carnations are avoided as Mother's Day gifts due to the flower's meaning, but in the world of Uma Musume, yellow carnations are sometimes given, especially if the mother is an established Uma Musume. Air Groove, whose mother is a Uma Musume who won the G1 race, the Oaks, also plans to give her a yellow carnation, demonstrating her strong respect and determination to surpass her.
