A friendly girl born in the U.S.

A cowgirl with a heart as big as her might. As friendly as they come, she's one heck of a hug machine. She tends to get lonely, however, so perhaps that's why she's one heck of a party planner too! Specializing in sprints, her powerful dash has even caught the eye of her friend, Silence Suzuka.

Appearance Taiki Shuttle has wavy golden-blonde hair tied back in a wild and messy ponytail by a star-shaped metallic-green hair clip. Her sidelocks curl and wave in a similar fashion to her ponytail. Instead of her ornament, a green star that matches her ponytail clip, being affixed to her ear itself, she has it pinned to her hair just below her right ear. Her ears have darker blonde interiors, and a slightly fluffy texture. Her round and expressive eyes are a sky-blue hue.

Taiki Shuttle's racing outfit features a cowboy western aesthetic. A red scarf bandana is tied around her neck, with a brown rawhide Stetson cowboy hat slung over her back. She wears a bright green tied top over a dark green bikini top, leaving her shoulders and midriff exposed, with a pair of matching bright green cuffs sit around her upper arms to act as detached sleeves. She wears long brown leather gloves on both hands, the likes of which reach to her mid-forearms. A brown leather belt with silver edges and a silver buckle is slung around her waist; a brown leather half-skirt with fringe extends from the belt down her right hip. Opposite the half skirt is a leather pistol holster with a silver revolver in the sling (which is presumably functional, given her history of being a quickdraw champion, as well as her skill animation featuring her using the revolver to shoot a coin). Beneath the belt, Taiki Shuttle wears a bright green ruffled short skirt with white lace frills at the edge, as well as three white stars emblazoned on the left side of the skirt. She wears dark purple thigh-high stockings under a pair of knee-length brown leather high-heeled western boots. The boots feature criss-crossed dark leather lacings in 'X' patterns at the top, with long fringe frills right below them, as well as brass vamps.

Taiki Shuttle's old design was largely identical to her current design, with the exception of her sleeve cuffs; in the original design, they were attached to her top, and had a broader line detailing at the top that formed a pseudo-collar on her top.
