She sneaks out wearing a fashionable clothes of layered skirt, slightly adult short-sleeved jacket with a U collar and a short tank top.

In Miko garments, on her back was a bundle with the pentagram symbol of her house on it. Her hand was holding a red, oilskin parasol, and she had black hair, going down to her shoulders.
