Shinobu Oshino who resides in Koyomi Araragi's shadow during the day. She was formerly a human princess named Laura who was cursed into causing anyone in proximity to her to commit suicide. She then took the name of Acerola before meeting a purebred vampire that turned her into a powerful vampire named Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade, or Kisushotto Aseroraorion Hātoandāburēdo.

Abilities and Equipment Vampirism: Having been bitten by a powerful purebred vampire, she herself became a legendary vampire, her powers overshadowing most other living vampires, including Dramaturgy. Her immortality is so strong that, at full power, she can instantly recover from a severed head and other such injuries, and can survive in the sun for a fairly long period of time. Additionally, she is immune to most typical weaknesses that vampires have, being able to show herself in mirrors at will and to enter buildings without permission. Matter Creation: One of her abilities as a vampire is matter creation, being capable of creating any object at will. She most often uses it to create clothing out of thin air, though she also sometimes uses it to create things like game consoles. When she was at full power, she once created a castle for herself out of thin air. Energy Drain: A natural skill for any vampire, she can drain aberrations of their energy and eat them, a skill she uses to neutralize Black Hanekawa. Charm: A natural skill for vampires, which allows her to turn the opposite sex into her slaves by essentially brainwashing them. She has never been shown to use this skill. Time Travel: A skill she was shown using at Koyomi Araragi's request, while in her weakened state, using not her own power but the power found at North Shirahebi Shrine. Even though she can open up a portal to the past, as well as travel across worldlines, she didn't seem to know how time travel actually worked before using it. Demon Sword: Heartspan, Yōtō Kokorowatari: One of the demonic swords inherited by Kissshot from Seishirou Shishirui. Also occasionally called the Aberration Slayer (怪異殺かいいごろし, Kaī Goroshi), it is a magical longsword that has the ability to destroy any aberration. It has an amazing sharpness, so much so that, when wielded by Shinobu, it can cut an aberration without it even realizing it or feeling any pain. The sword can only affect oddities, so, when used against a human, it will simply pass through them, leaving behind no damage. Demon Sword: Dreamspan, Yōtō Yumewatari): One of the demonic swords inherited by Kissshot from Seishirou Shishiri. It is a magical shortsword that has the ability to heal any aberration, bringing them back to life. Curse of Beauty: A curse given to Rola by the old witch. It is said to "make her skin invisible, showing her heart", effectively making people ignore her physical beauty and instead see the fairness of her heart. However, her heart is so beautiful that everyone she comes into contact with wants to offer their lives to her, as they judge that nothing else they own is worthy of her. While normal people are practically brainwashed when in contact with her, the curse affects aberrations in a different way. While Deathtopia, a vampire, has no desire to kill herself for the sake of Acerola, and can hold a normal conversation with her without any effects on her mind, when she tries to attack Acerola, her attack is instead reflected, making her kill herself, thus not allowing any oddity to harm her. Although the curse detects intent to harm and reflects it back onto the attacker, it doesn't prevent Deathtopia from interacting with Acerola entirely. When she tries to protect her, she can touch her without any issues, and she was also able to turn her into a vampire, at the girl's request, when she had no desire to harm her anymore. Aditionally, the curse's effects are lessened when the human isn't looking directly at her, shown by how, when interacting with Araragi during the events of Koyomi Reverse, he is able to speak to her for a few minutes without killing himself once she covers herself with a curtain.

Shinobu Oshino is the "human name" of the vampire Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade. She generally is called this, depending on the person talking about her or her power level at the time. This vampire name was conceived by Deathtopia Virtuoso Suicide-Master, who was very proud of how meaningful the name is.

Kiss-Shot, the 'first name', is a reference to the common fairy tale of cursed princesses being healed by a kiss from a prince. This also mirrors Araragi, who saved her from death, and became her 'prince'. Also, "Kiss-shot" is a reference to the Japanese mythological deity of beauty, Kisshouten, which mirrors her cursed beauty and attempt to become a goddess. Acerola-Orion, the 'middle name', is composed of Acerola, Princess Laura's self given alias after the start of her journey, and Orion, which is a constellation on the equator east of Taurus represented as a hunter with a belt and sword, reflecting her nature as a vampire who hunts and eats humans, as well as furthers Deathtopia's comparison of Princess Acerola to a sword. Finally, Heart-Under-Blade, the 'last name', is born from Deathtopia's impressions of Princess Acerola as a strong woman, like a sword, but with a kind heart. This name is also the inspiration for the name Shinobu (忍), as it is literally made up of the kanji for heart (心) under the kanji for blade (刃). Also, this name is connected with the plot of Kizumonogatari, where her heart was hunted by three vampire hunters, with each of them having wordplay with the word "blade" in their names.

It is understood that people who have known her, either directly or by reputation, call her by her full vampire name in all cases, exception made of the specialists close to Meme Oshino who was the one to adopt and name her Shinobu after she lost her power following Koyomi Vamp.

On the contrary, people close enough to Koyomi Araragi to be aware of her existence refer to her as Shinobu, as her child form is the only one they generally know of (exception made for Tsubasa Hanekawa).

Only Koyomi refers to her with both names, generally to referring to her according to her power level. Shinobu herself agrees that being weak changed her personality and that she knows her personality would probably revert to the time of pre-Spring Break during the events of Kizumonogatari if she were to come back to being the powerful vampire she once was. Koyomi generally refers to her as Shinobu intimately, but doesn't hesitate to refer to her by her full vampire name when thinking about her, not wanting to forget her nature nor forgive her actions during Spring Break.

Intimately, only Koyomi and Seishirou Shishirui called her by the nickname Kiss-shot in front of her. However, most people referring to her vampire nature abridge her name this way behind her back.

After losing most of her vampire powers, Shinobu falls into a long period of stupor. She is frequently seen in Oshino's place with her hands tucking her knees in, her face always in an emotionless state. She often spends most of the day in one spot, doing mostly nothing with a bitter expression. Shinobu also does not talk to anyone, but she is familiar with Koyomi Araragi and Meme Oshino, and would follow requests from either of them.

Later she reverts back to her brighter personality after "reconciling" with Koyomi. She is rather talkative, and often asserts her superiority through her archaic speech. She mostly plays with Koyomi's tendency to act as the follower between the two. Sometime after Koyomi Vamp, she appears to find a liking to Mister Donuts and they become her obsession. She refers to herself using "washi" (ワシ), which is often used in fictional settings to represent characters of old age. This is translated in the English version of the series by having her speak occasionally in an Old English accent.

Shinobu holds affection for Koyomi stemming from him saving her in Koyomi Vamp. She is seen to show jealousy if he spends too much time around other girls or gets too close to those she does not like, notably Nadeko Sengoku. She is shown to be touched by Koyomi being willing to live and die with her, but as called out by Suruga Kanbaru, is initially unwilling to openly return the sentiment until months later in Ougi Dark. When her first minion Seishirou resurfaces, she is concerned that she might choose to return to Seishirou over Koyomi, still having some affection for him, but admits in the end that she wants to stay with Koyomi. Her liking for Koyomi leads to her desiring to restore their master-servant bond whenever it is broken, despite it restricting her abilities and movements.

Due to being around Meme for many hours while performing her silent treatment, she's obtained a bit of knowledge about different types of oddities, and often helps out Araragi in his time of need, but she still remains as no expert.

Shinobu very rarely refers to anyone by name, with Koyomi showing surprise that she called Tsukihi by hers in Tsukihi Phoenix. Instead she refers to most people by nicknames, such as calling Hitagi "tsundere girl".

Shinobu's past from before she became a vampire is revealed in "Princess Beauty" (うつくし姫 Utsukushihime), published in Anime Monogatari Series Heroine Book 3: Shinobu. It was later included in Wazamonogatari.

She was originally named Laura and was the only daughter of a noble family in an unspecified foreign kingdom outside of Japan (implied to be of European origins in the anime) over five centuries ago. Her beauty was famous throughout the entire kingdom, causing her to become known as Princess Beauty. Countless people would line up outside her palace everyday just to see her. Anyone who sees her for the first time is shocked that her beauty exceeds any expectations, and they would bring her countless gifts everyday. Despite everyone's love for her, Laura was never happy, and she never smiled. She wished people would see what's inside her, instead of just her exterior. One day an elderly witch came to grant her wish. The witch turned her physical appearance invisible, and people could only see her inside.

However, her interior turned out to be far more beautiful than her exterior. Her inner beauty manifested itself as a bright light that enveloped the entire kingdom. After seeing her inner beauty, her father felt extreme guilt for not being able to understand her and see her true self, and killed himself out of this guilt. Her mother was so satisfied by giving birth to such a perfect child, that she felt she had nothing left to do in this world. Thus, she also committed suicide. People were so astounded by her pure heart that instead of giving her material gifts they gave her their most valuable possessions: their lives. If they had things more important to them than their lives, they would give her those instead. (e.g. a musician gave her his ears, a poet gave her his tongue, a sculptor gave her his eyes, and some gave her their children's lives, their grandchildren's lives, etc.). Corpses of those who committed suicide for Princess Beauty piled up outside her palace. Before long, the pile of corpses grew higher than the palace.

Laura was devastated at the result. The witch couldn't turn her back because she gave Laura her knowledge-filled head (the witch beheaded herself). However, Laura's tear was able to revive the witch for a small moment, and the witch told her to go on a journey. The witch told her to avoid people, and to never stay in one place for too long. Otherwise, people will get drawn to Laura's heart and start taking their own lives again.

Princess Beauty, at that point taking the name of Acerola, continued her journey to find someone to cure her curse that caused all around her to kill themselves at the sight of her beautiful heart. She met a purebred vampire named Deathtopia Virtuoso Suicide-Master who allowed her to stay inside her castle in order to find a solution to her problem, as she, due to her immortality, was the only person able to communicate with Acerola.

After she overstayed her welcome to him, Suicide-Master's servant, Tropicalesque Home-A-Wave Dog-Strings, attempted to kill her, brutally killing himself past the point of regeneration in the process. Devastated at causing yet another death, she requested Suicide-Master to turn her into a vampire so that even if she can't lift her curse, she can at least eat the corpses she leaves so that their deaths won't be in vain.

Suicide-Master renamed her Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade, the Kiss-shot portion referencing the fact that kissing a prince might be the only way to lift her curse. After becoming Suicide-Master's servant, she left to continue wandering the world and eventually, the curse seemed to have lifted. It's not clear if becoming a barbaric vampire was the direct cause of the curse being lifted, or whether or not she actually found a prince to save her, but Suicide-Master seems to suggest that the former could be the case.

Kiss-shot arrived in Japan, the place she met the person who eventually became her first minion, for the second time in her life, looking for a place to die. Sometime after arrival, she was attacked by three vampire hunters at once and decided to let them kill her. After her limbs (and unknowingly, her heart) were stolen, she was left for dead and had second thoughts, fearing death at the last moment. Koyomi Araragi later finds her limbless and is terrified. After demanding him to give his life in order to let her live, he runs away as she cries for her life. After contemplating, he changes his mind and gives his neck to her, ready to die.

He awakes in Eikou Cram School as a vampire and finds the now weakened Kiss-shot had taken the form of a 10 year old girl. She tells him that he can turn back into a human if he can get all of her missing limbs back from the vampire hunters. With each limb retrieved, she grew older by a few years, to a 12 year old and later a 17 year old. Once he succeeded in getting her last limb and also her heart, she returns to her original form and eats Guillotine Cutter when Koyomi was away. Shocked and outraged, Koyomi contemplates suicide for reviving a monster that eats people. Tsubasa reveals that in order to become a human again, he must kill his master.

Kiss-shot secretly planned on having Koyomi kill her so she could finally find a proper way to die and allow her minion to turn back into a human. The two fight a pointless fight, excessively decapitating their immortal bodies. In the midst of their fight, Tsubasa arrives. Before Kiss-shot could harm her, Koyomi jumps on Kiss shot, sucking her blood to the brink of death, but stops. With the help of Hanekawa, they realize her true intentions.

After having her plan revealed, Koyomi rejects it as he doesn't want to kill her. With the help of Meme Oshino, he finds a compromise that leaves no one's wishes granted. Instead of killing her completely, he would get her to the brink of death, weakening her power, making him as close to human as possible. In return, she'd be so weak that she wouldn't even be able to take the same name anymore. To keep her alive, Koyomi would occasionally feed her his blood. This plan goes through, only the now unnamed vampire holds a grudge and refuses to speak.

During the Golden Week following Koyomi's encounter with Kiss-shot, she continues to stay inside the abandoned Eikou Cram School Building, where she appears to have developed a more childlike personality and physical appearance, reminiscent of an eight-year-old. In one visit, Koyomi brings some donuts for Meme, but they ended up in the vampire girl's hands after she stubbornly demanded some.

Koyomi later pleaded for her to lend him the Kokorowatari for him to use against Tsubasa Hanekawa in an attempt to separate the sawarineko from Tsubasa herself. She gave him the sword after days of Koyomi's incessant pleas to her, but she ends up using the oddity killer herself when Koyomi exposes his incapability of using the sword properly. After swallowing the sword whole and biting Tsubasa, Black Hanekawa was suppressed.

During Hitagi Crab, she spends most of her time inside Eikou Cram School, sitting still in a corner and continuing not to talk to anyone. Meme revealed a new name for her, suggesting her name be Shinobu (忍), as "heart" (心) under "blade" (刃) matches with her original personality and name.

To prepare Koyomi for his fight against the Rainy Devil, Shinobu sucks some of Koyomi's blood upon Meme's request, allowing him to make more use of his vampire powers within a limited period of time. Her contribution barely helped Koyomi in subduing the Rainy Devil, but it was enough for him to survive for the entire ordeal before Hitagi Senjougahara's intervention.

After spending the night in Eikou Cram School, Nadeko Sengoku tells Koyomi she saw Shinobu glaring at her for some reason.

Mayoi Hachikuji claims she saw Shinobu running away from home. As Koyomi searches for her, he contacts the other girls to help him. While everyone searches by themselves, Koyomi ends up searching with the help of Black Hanekawa.

After it gets dark and they arrive at an area full of street lamps, Black Hanekawa threatens to kill him if he doesn't go out with Tsubasa, revealing the feelings for him she's been keeping secret since they first met. As she chokes him, Shinobu reveals herself by jumping out of a shadow and suppressing her once again by sucking her blood. Afterwards, without saying a word she submerges into Koyomi's shadow, where she commonly resides for the rest of the series.

During Koyomi's predicament with his sister Karen Araragi's condition, while bathing Shinobu jumps out of his shadow and properly talks to him for the first time since he refused to kill her. She asks him to kill her to become a real human once more, but he rejects the idea, never wanting to talk about it again. He declares he'll only let her die if he dies with her, even if his vampire life span causes him to witness all his friends and family dying before him. Although she claims that she does not like him, Shinobu agrees to reconcile with Koyomi.

She helps out in curing Karen's oddity-induced fever, claiming that hanging around Meme for so long gave her a huge wealth of knowledge about oddities. The next day, Shinobu helps out in tracking down Karen, who after recovering left the house in an attempt to get back on her defeat against Deishuu Kaiki.

Shinobu asked Koyomi to take her to Mister Donuts for the 100 yen sale. Koyomi agrees as he wants Shinobu to tell him about Yotsugi Ononoki and Yozuru Kagenui. She does, and Koyomi learns about Yotsugi, but Shinobu refuses to share information about Yozuru, stating she is "not going to share information about a respectable person" and tells him to ask Deishuu.

Later after powering up into a similar form of her former self she helps Koyomi fight for his sister by fighting Yotsugi. She also learns Tsukihi Araragi's the "tsuki" part of Tsukihi's name, as it means moon and she likes the moon, the sun is her enemy. During the fight with Yotsugi and Yozuru, Shinobu was powered up into her teenage form and easily beat Yotsugi in battle off screen.

After the events in Tsukihi Phoenix, Koyomi introduces Hitagi to his sisters. After the "Gahara Summit", Shinobu is shown to be jealous and wants more attention from Koyomi. She goes on a dramatic exaggerated rant in an attempt to receive affection from him, and eventually asks Koyomi who would he save if Hitagi, herself, and his sisters were all hanging on an edge. She is amused and satisfied by Koyomi's answer that he would ask Hanekawa for help.

In Mayoi Jiangshi, Shinobu offers to help Koyomi with finishing his summer homework by revealing she is capable of time-travel as a vampire. Koyomi accepts, although Shinobu mistakenly takes him to an alternate timeline where she went berserk after Koyomi and his friends failed to find her during the events of Tsubasa Cat and Koyomi was then killed by Black Hanekawa. When she originally ran away, she had sworn to destroy the world if Koyomi didn't find her. When he died, her original powers returned to her and she turned everyone in the alternate timeline into zombie-like vampires. Afterwards, attempted suicide but failed due to her regeneration.

As Shinobu and Koyomi prepare to fight the alternate Shinobu in hopes to get her to send them back to their original time, she instead weeps at the sight of her being able to come to an understanding with Koyomi in an alternate timeline, as now she feels nothing but despair for what she'd done. She allows real Shinobu to suck her blood and turn her into ghastly energy, allowing them to travel back to their original timeline.

Shinobu tells Koyomi the story of her first minion and the anti-existence known as "The Darkness." When she first arrived in Japan as Kiss-Shot a long time ago after leaping from Antarctica, she had landed in a nearby lake that resulted in an explosion which launched all of its water into the air. In doing so, she inadvertently saved a local village from an ongoing drought by "making it rain." As a result, the villagers praised her for her miracle and began to worship her as a deity. She followed along with the misconception and played the part of a false "god", hiding her true identity as a vampire.

An oddity specialist - now referred to by her as the Original Oddity Slayer - eventually arrived to investigate the rumored manifestation of a new god. With the power to slay oddities granted through the twin-blades Kokorowatari and Yumewatari, of which he was the original owner, the specialist worked with Kiss-Shot to rid the area of unwanted oddities, and the two would eventually form a bond. Despite this, the village people would all slowly and mysteriously vanish, leaving only Kiss-Shot and the specialist behind. The source of these disappearances happened to be the work of "The Darkness", a "corrective" entity which annihilated oddities that strayed from their true natures. After erasing all of the villagers that had been worshiping a vampire as a goddess, the darkness then attempted to destroy Kiss-Shot for deviating from her vampiric nature, and in the end, it nearly annihilated her and consumed all of the specialist, save his hand. Kiss-Shot then fled back to Antarctica with the remaining hand and immediately felt lonely; to remedy this, she conceded to bite the specialist's hand. In doing so, she revived the specialist as her first minion. The specialist - unable to accept his reincarnation as a vampire - broke ties with Kiss-Shot and attempted suicide by casting himself towards the sun, leaving only Kokorowatari as a memento of his existence.

After telling this story, the Darkness appears again, this time in pursuit for Mayoi Hachikuji. In Koyomi's attempt to escape it, it severs Shinobu's connection to him when it envelops his shadow. Yotsugi Ononoki then uses Unlimited Rulebook to teleport her along with Koyomi and Mayoi away, incidentally leaving Shinobu behind. After they left, it's implied that the Darkness disappeared and Shinobu was spared; she then went home and waited in Koyomi's room until her appearance in Tsubasa Tiger.

Black Hanekawa finds Shinobu in Koyomi's room after she disappeared in Shinobu Time. The two come to an agreement to help each other, and arrive at the now burned down Eikou Cram School. Off screen, they end up fighting a monkey-crab oddity together when Yotsugi comes to finish the fight with Unlimited Rulebook. She then stays at Namishiro Park until Koyomi and Suruga Kanbaru find her in Shinobu Mail.

After finding Shinobu, the monkey-crab oddity returned. Koyomi used the Kokorowatari to slay it, but then Jagirinawa jumped out from its fading corpse. Shinobu defeated the snake and ate the rest of the corpse.

The oddity was sent from Seishirou Shishirui, the original oddity slayer who had returned to claim his Kokorowatari back and make up with Shinobu after he found out she turned him into a vampire and tried to kill himself. Shinobu was bitter about the situation and refused to see him as she had made a new minion and expected to never meet him again.

After Koyomi beats Seishirou in a duel by planting a talisman on him, Shinobu apologizes to him and cries as she eats the remains of his body, allowing him to finally die.

Months afterwards, Yotsugi asks Koyomi if his feelings regarding the "miserable" arrangement between him and Shinobu have changed, considering the lengths Koyomi went for Shinobu and Shinobu's choice to stay with him instead of Seishirou. Shinobu remains silent in his shadow as Koyomi denies any happiness brought by him becoming a vampire and his bond with her, claiming they still make everyone unhappy.

Shinobu appears to not like Nadeko Sengoku very much. When she slept over in Nadeko Medusa, Shinobu manages to prevent Nadeko and Koyomi from sleeping on the same bed, in which Shinobu tells Nadeko that she's lucky that she's cute enough to be able to stir up protective feelings from Koyomi.

As Koyomi and Shinobu spot Nadeko about to swallow the tailsmen in his room, she tries to eat her before it's too late but fails and Nadeko turns into her Medusa form. She and Koyomi later meet Nadeko at North Shirahebi Shrine to fight. She nearly kills both of them before Hitagi calls Nadeko on the phone to convince her to wait until Koyomi graduates from high school.

After discussing the predicament they're in with Nadeko wanting to kill them both and Koyomi having gotten fresh homemade donuts from Hitagi, Shinobu and Koyomi play a game of donut hide and seek.

When Koyomi cannot find the last one, he calls Hanekawa and asks her about it, to which Hanekawa explains that Shinobu likely hid one inside another. While Koyomi cannot comprehend Shinobu's behavior as to why she did not just eat the donuts, Hanekawa explains that Shinobu let go of her personal desire as a gesture of love towards him.

Shinobu and Koyomi discover that he's turning back into a full vampire after finding he has no reflection in the mirror. When Koyomi calls her from his shadows while falsely telling her he has golden chocolate donuts, she gets angry at the lie and tries to attack him in a comedic fashion. He catches her in a hug, which she finds pleasant and quickly calms down. After she realizes the severity of Koyomi's vampire situation, they contact Yotsugi Ononoki and Yozuru Kagenui to help them. Tensions between Shinobu and the pairing still seem to be in mostly bad terms, as she still threatens them and bluffs about being able to win a fight. They tell the two that they have to stop relying on vampire powers in order to keep Koyomi alive, otherwise he'll turn into a full one and not be able to live life as a human anymore.

Later when Koyomi and Yotsugi are about to initiate their plan to take Suruga and his sisters back from Tadatsuru Teori, Shinobu explains that she doesn't necessarily mind if he were to become a full vampire herself, so if he's in a dangerous situation, she'd risk making him use vampire powers in order to survive.

Due to Koyomi being killed by Gaen, Shinobu's vampire form is fully restored. She then threatens to kill Gaen if her plan to revive Koyomi fails. Upon Koyomi's resurrection later on, she warmly greets him with a headpat.

Shinobu is seen playing with Gaen, Mayoi, and Yotsugi as they wait for Koyomi to show up to discuss what to do about Ougi. In her adult form, she enjoys picking on Yotsugi in revenge for her comments during their previous encounters. During the meeting, she affectionately holds Koyomi, to his embarrassment, and they both learn about the reasons behind Gaen's actions and the consequences of the supernatural events that have occurred.

After Koyomi resolves the conflict with Ougi Oshino, she meets up with Koyomi and requests Gaen to return her to her 8-year old form bonded to Koyomi's shadow. Koyomi renews his vow that he will die with her, and this time Shinobu responds with her own; if he were to die, she would live for three days to tell someone about him before killing herself. The bond between the two is then restored, but this time not as a punishment or compromise. Shinobu continues to live inside Koyomi`s shadow after he graduates from high school.

After Koyomi is sent into the mirror world, he calls out for help from Shinobu only to no avail. He is then later brought by Ononoki to see the mirror world version of Shinobu. This Shinobu is a human who lives hidden behind a curtain inside a castle where Eikou Cram School is supposed to be, as a way to protect others from committing suicide because of her immense beauty told in the "Princess Beauty" story. Shinobu advises Koyomi on his situation and apologies for not being able to help him return back to the real world. Koyomi is then forced to depart with Ononoki to protect him from Shinobu`s beautiful presence.

Shinobu occupies Karen's shadow as she traverses Oniai Mountain, Senshin Peak and Kachi-kachi Mountain. Shinobu repeatedly appears to save Karen from danger, each time appearing as a different age. Shinobu tells Karen that each different version of herself members of a foreign extended family, and Karen believes her. With Shinobu's assistance, including lending her Kokorowatari and saving her from falling to death, Karen is able achieve her goal of reaching Ouga Falls.

In her fully powered adult state, she has the physical age of a woman in her late twenties, with a tall and voluptuous figure, possessing the same golden eyes and even longer golden hair, which curves up into sharper spikes on the ends. As an adult, she always wears her signature red dress with sharp black frills at her waist and chest, and a white section along her torso. She also wears white gloves that go up to her upper arms, and black stockings, alongside white high heels. As seen in the other timeline, after her attempted suicide, she is shown in a torn up and bloody version of the same dress. When seen as a human in Koyomi Reverse, she wears a pure white frilly and puffy dress, alongside similar white gloves that go up to her upper arms, but showing her fingers.
