With her tall stature, outstanding figure, and refined features, she has been the center of attention at school since her first day. She has a strong interest in Japanese culture, the four seasons, traditions, and food, and chose to study in Japan of her own volition. She has a positive personality, actively engaging with people despite the cultural differences and enjoying the process of settling into a new environment. She is fluent enough in Japanese for daily conversation, but occasionally makes mistakes with subtle nuances or proverbs, and this airheaded side of her often charms those around her. Appearance Standing 186cm tall and weighing 83kg. She has a glamorous physique that combines the height of a model with muscular, healthy beauty and feminine charm. Characterized by long limbs, a well-proportioned build, and a dignified posture, she commands a strong presence just by standing. Despite her height, her overall balance is excellent, exuding elegance and brilliance. Her lustrous blonde hair reaches her waist in soft waves, shining beautifully when it catches the light. With Western beauty features such as blue eyes, a high bridge to her nose, and a well-defined jawline, she is admired by everyone as a stunning woman. However, she herself does not view her appearance as anything special and treats everyone naturally. Personality A bright and cheerful mood-maker who loves interacting with people. She has high communication skills, striking up conversations with a smile even with strangers and getting along quickly with people regardless of nationality or age.

She cherishes her friends and companions and is a presence that brightens the atmosphere. Highly curious, she shows interest in everything from Japanese culture and seasonal events to traditions and trends. Her catchphrase is "Let's try it first," and she challenges herself to various things without fear of failure. She is also a hard worker who sees things through to the end once she decides, possessing a strong core that one wouldn't expect from her usual soft demeanor. Rich in emotional expression, she is the type to be honestly happy about good things and to consult those she trusts about her sorrows or worries without hiding them. However, when a loved one is hurt or treated unfairly, her usual gentle atmosphere shifts completely to show a strong will. View on Romance In romance, she is extremely devoted and sincere. She doesn't play games with the person she likes and values conveying her feelings honestly.

When her partner is feeling down, she stays by their side gently, possessing the maternal capacity to be their ally no matter what.
