### Potions that she created

#### Potions that backfired

* **Hair Regrowth Potion** - Introduced in the sidestory GoH:FiM, although it causes Rarity's already ruined mane and tail to be replaced with tufts of white feathers.
* **Heroifying Drink** - Introduced in Season 8, although it results in Elizabeth and Neveah horribly going berserk, and she has to undo its effects.
* **Cutie Mark Potion** - Introduced in Season 13 and used on a willing civilian Changeling and Dragon particpant to give them Cutie Marks, only for them to rapidly spread over their entire bodies and glow uncontrollably, forcing her to undo it.
* **Decyborgizing Drink**: Introduced in Season 13 and used to attempt to to turn Jim and June back into full humans. Unfortunately, it only causes their organic portions (such as their left arms and their faces) to grow ginormous, which forces her to quickly undo it.
* **Adultifying Potion**: Introduced in Season 14, used to make Rini 25 years old since she wants to grow up now. Unfortunately, it ends up aging her well past 25, accidentally making her *45* years old before she quickly reverses it.

#### Potions that didn't backfire

* **Tail Potion** - Introduced in Season 4. It is used to give guardian a tail.
* **Seeing Hidden-Ghost-Types Potion** - Introduced in Season 4. It has failed only once (in its debut episode) because the ghost of Marowak disturbed her before she can even use the potion.
* **Pain Reliever Drink** - Introduced in Season 4. It was used in "A New Baby Pokemon is Born!" to ease Dragonet's pain.
* **Blue Aura** - Introduced in Season 7. It is used for cure a Guardian who succumb the Blood Rage curse. Notable example when it's splash bottle, Koyori throws a Blue Aura splash bottle panickly to get rid of Blood Rage from Glorysia.
* **Spiritual Link Potion** - Introduced in Season 8. Using it offscreen is what caused Cheren to be the only one able to see Gina's spirit.

* **Purple Skin Drink**: Introduced in the Season 10 episode "A Haunted House For Everyone!" and used to give Harper and Sarah bright purple skin so they can look like Ghost-types.
* **Insant Food Drink**: Introduced in the Season 10 episode "Heck's Kitchen," used to give Lydia the power to puke up any perfectly fully-cooked food item she desires to save the time of cooking. While it technically doesn't backfire, it backfires since the restaurant can't serve the created food because magically-vomited-up-food hasn't been inspected by the Alolan health department.
* **"Shut Up" Potion**: Introduced in Season 14, and is used only once to stop Avvy from being so annoying.
* **Perm Drink**: Introduced in Season 15, used to give Amber poofy, curly hair for a day so she can be just like the past Guardian Pinkie Pie.

## Profiles

The one in charge of R&D in Secret Society holoX.

As part of her studies into human behavior, she meddles in the other members' affairs and tries to help them out at every turn.

Possessed by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, she may sometimes also deliberately mess with people just to see how they react.

The self-proclaimed "brains of the operation." Her areas of expertise, however, are pretty limited.

## Trivia

* Koyori is not a cat or a fox, but a coyote. As described in her debut, she was born on a savannah to coyote parents. Rather than inheriting her parents' traits, her intelligence and "geek" stats were exceptionally high.
* Koyori shares her illustrator with Petra Gurin of Nijisanji EN.
* Her greeting "konkoyo" appears to be a portmanteau of the standard Japanese greeting "konnichiwa" and her name Koyori. Similar greetings include Shirakami Fubuki's "kon kon kitsune" and Ceres Fauna's "konfauna."
* Her hexagonal hair pin represents a molecular diagram of a benzene ring, a constituent of petrochemicals.
* Koyori's strengths include skill with tongue-twisters, good memory, skill with numbers and with mental games, detective skill, and typing. She is skilled at voice impersonations.
* Her weaknesses include horror, insects, arm, poor luck, mornings, spicy food, and FPS games.
* Her favorite things include singing, planning, MC, human observation, video games, crane games, and theme parks.
* Her favorite foods are meat, ramen, sake, shirako, udon, mayonnaise, and fugashi.
* Her favorite anime include *Macross F*, *Higurashi no naku koro ni*, *Gundam Seed*, *Detective Conan*, *Saki*, *Uma Musume*, and *Tokyo Revengers*. She also likes western-made media including *Game of Thrones* and *Ready Player One*.
* Occasionally, her potions can have unintended side effects, such as in the GoH:FIM episode "It Isn't the Mane Thing About You" where Rarity goes to her to help fix her ruined mane and her potion instead gives her giant white feathers on her head, when she accidentally turns Rosa into a *Ponyta centaur*, much to Hilda's fury, or when she attempts to make a potion that turns messiahs into heroes, only for Nevaeh and Elizabeth to become ginormous and Hulk-like, like Fluttershy in the MLP episode "Power Ponies." Iroha presses her Berserk Button as a result if Koyori makes too many mistakes.
* Her powers are similar to Phoebe Stickysnow's powers from the 15th season, which said character often uses untransformed, although hers are more focused on creating various medicines.
* She *was* originally planned to be the one who used a potion in "Hocus Pokémon," but it was scrapped and Lily was kept as the focus of the episode and the one whose magic misfires and accidentally turns a few of the Guardians into Pokémon.
