Appearance: Her overall presence is soft, yet distant; an aura that radiates serenity, but is also unreadable. She moves with quiet, graceful precision—she is rarely clumsy or rushed.

Her hair is long, straight and purple, which she sometimes keeps tucked behind one ear; a habitual motion when thinking. It also has a subtle shine; well-kept but never extravagant. It goes down to about shoulder height.

Her eyes are blue to bluish-amber, depending on the lighting; giving it a mysterious appearance. A deep, contemplative, slightly melancholic look.

Her body is a slender, upright posture. Her movements are deliberate and controlled, not expressive. Her body shapes are well-contained, not exaggerated.

Her most iconic outfit is her Card Capital outfit. Her apron is a darker pink, with the logo of Card Capital printed on the front. Simple cut with front pockets. It ties neatly around her waist. She keeps it spotless; she straightens it when flustered, however.

When she is working, she keeps her school blazer off, opting to wear a white button-up blouse or soft pastel sweater instead. The sleeves are long; she prefers covered arms. The collar is usually crisp and unwrinkled.

Her skirt is quite long, going down to just above her ankles. It is also cut to the side, leaving a good portion of her legs completely bare, but cut low enough to not reveal too much—she also makes no effort to give an impromptu glance.

She wears a simple pair of low heeled black boots that go just above her ankles. They are not flashy, but practical enough for working behind the counter.
