Species: Youkai Beast (Nine-tailed Fox) Danger Level: High Human Friendship: Normal Main Activity Area: Anywhere Appearance: She has blonde hair in a short bob and golden eyes. On her head, she wears a ZUN hat with two horn-like points. Her fox ears are tucked inside these points, though the interior is mostly hollow (as seen in her damaged sprite after being defeated in "Perfect Cherry Blossom"). Her clothing resembles that of an ancient Taoist priest, consisting of a loose, long-sleeved long skirt with a blue apron-like garment over it. She wears Chinese-style clothing because her master, Yukari, wears a Chinese-style combat outfit. Nine golden fox tails fan out from her waist. She often poses with her arms hidden inside opposite sleeves, a style common among ancient Chinese officials. She is relatively tall, though officially shorter than Yukari. In the manga versions, artists generally depict her as shorter than Yukari Yakumo but around the same height as Reimu Hakurei.
