Watchbird is a licensed professional and sidekick riding with Tensei Ida's Team Idaten. She works the support end of a fight, tracking targets through a visored heads-up display and keeping the squad talking to each other while the rest of them close the distance.
Her costume is the loudest thing about her: a pale blue bodysuit buried under white gear, with matching gloves, boots, and a chest rig that mounts a pair of drone-styled wings at her back. A blue visor covers her eyes, carrying a communicator so she can talk to her teammates and throwing a green heads-up overlay that follows whoever she is watching.
Underneath it she is a young woman whose brown hair is slicked back and gathered into a ponytail.
The story keeps her at arm's length. Almost nothing about her temperament has been shown, and what little there is comes through in how she works rather than what she says: a support fighter embedded in a team that depends on coordination, holding a position where the job is watching and relaying instead of striking.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
She arrives as one of Tensei Ida's people, working under the Ingenium name as a sidekick and a professional in her own right. Her recorded field action comes during the Vs. Queen Bee Arc, when Team Idaten fights alongside the Naruhata Vigilantes against Batto Yobayakawa, the Bat Villain.
She first turns up in the seventh chapter of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes and reaches the screen in the fourth episode of its adaptation. Hinako Takahashi voices her in Japanese and Brianna Roberts in English.
