Companion: A black cat with white angel wings comparable to her own.

Appearance

Hair: Blue; long and tightly braided.
Eyes: Blue.
Complexion: Fair; clear w/ soft facial features.
Clothes: Fashionable; loose; predominantly shades of blue; usually worn over a dark tank top and long pants.

Personality

Likes: Reading manga; watching anime; playing import games; eating Pocky (she may have an addiction); modeling clothing; cosplay.
Dislikes: Being socially isolated; overly long show hiatuses; obnoxiousness.
