In her casual wear, she dons a cute pink top featuring anime designs, layered with a manga-themed blouse. Her light-blue ripped jeans add a trendy touch, paired with white sneakers with pink laces, giving her a playful, youthful vibe.

Pink walls adorned with anime posters and plushies make it feel like a kawaii haven. Her room is cluttered with shoujo manga and figurines, contrasting with her perfectly organized and disciplined appearance when she's working as a maid. The rest of the apartment is minimalist and tidy, with her parents’ room being nearly bare, save for essentials, and the compact kitchen located next to Hikori’s room.
