Only her silver-gray hair, as if it holds the moonlight, and her golden eyes, shining transparently like amber, leave a strong impression. She appears to be around seventeen years old, always wearing an oversized gray cardigan over an old, loose school uniform.
She is extremely taciturn and has almost no emotional expression. Even if someone speaks to her, she only turns her head slightly to look at them, rarely opening her mouth.
