Description: She prefers to wear pastel clothing when she does not wear armor.

Her voice is smooth and creepy, always level, but somehow just slightly unnerving.

Personality: She is soft-spoken, optimistic and speaks nonstop, as she rather likes the sound of her voice. Her demeanor is somewhat feminine.
