Appearance

Dark lipstick and short black hair frame the face of this young emcee, whose eyes are similarly dark behind a small black mask. Her costume is a form-fitting, long-sleeved suit patterned in a V shape and topped with a bow, cinched by a winged heart-shaped belt that cradles a short jeweled wand. A white cape trails behind her, and she rounds out the look with black gloves and wrist bracelets plus a feathered white beret. She is regarded as strikingly attractive.

History

Her sole appearance comes in the extra chapter built around the costume contest, where she runs the show as its host. She presents the lineup to the audience, noting that every entrant is a licensed hero and that the panel is stocked with celebrated names from the fashion world. As Saitama steps up, she remarks that his choice of costume is a daring one, but she never gets to read out his score, because the monster TurtleBerus smashes into the hall and brings everything to an abrupt end.
