Her 2023 outfit had a lavender scarf with a blue medal, a purple shirt with skull, star, and heart symbols, dark purple short with stars, purple socks and shoes, and purple detached sleeves with a light blue trim. Everything she wore was almost like an idol outfit.
Her 2024 outfit still had her lavender scarf with the blue medal. She now wears a purple decorated jacket, a black-purple shirt, purple shorts boots. This is not a Lolita style, but rather a style to match Norikae's cute appearance.

Despite this, she's fairly shy and much of an introvert, being worried of speaking to strangers. She can easily get nervous whenever she has to speak in public. 
Aside from her timid temperament, she's seen as sweet and cute by almost everyone.

* Amai-chan: Amai was Norikae's best childhood friend during her early years. They were very kind to eachother and loved eating sweets together. However, one day after Amai was hopitalized due to diabetes and eating disorder problems, Norikae was all alone, with no friends whatsoever.

=== Estimology ===
Fuhina (府雛): Fu (府) is short for Fuken (府県), meaning "prefecture" while Hina (雛) means "young bird/chick" or interesting enough "doll". This is likely because of Norikae's interest in Lolita fashion, which most lolitas have scary but cute dolls with them. Together, Fuhina can mean "emperor doll" or "young doll".
Norikae (ノリカエ): Basically the katakana for 乗り換え, meaning "transfer", "connection", or "switch". Norikae can also mean Norinori (ノリノリ), which is likely a slang for getting in high spirits or being groovy.
Her full name likely means "connecting an emperor doll".
