The neck of the shirt is decorated with a red bow, and she wears a white band around her chest, with an oval-shaped golden insignia. A matching golden insignia is tied around her arm with a blue strap. She wears a black police hat over her short, blonde hair, and carries a sword with golden handle and jacket behind her back. She wears dark blue stockings and brown-and-black boots.
