She loosely wears a light brown school jacket covered in pins and band aids which is somewhat draped under her left shoulder. The jacket also has a black with pink borders armband on her right side. She has a yellow scrunchie on her right wrist over her jacket. Her shirt is a dark grey dress shirt which is not tucked into her skirt and unbuttoned slightly at the top. She also has a slim and very loose golden tie with another band aid at the bottom. She has a dark pink plaid short skirt with a pinkish off-white border towards the bottom. She wears black dress shoes and white legwarmers that go up to her knees. Her nails are painted cyan and she wears a silver necklace. She also has light blue eyes.
For her VOCALOID β-STUDIO design, her jacket is taken off and tied around her waist, while the scrunchie is nowhere to be seen.
