Personality
She seems to prefer strong, handsome men as she was enamored with Tsukasa and heartbroken when he was cryogenically frozen in order to save him. Despite this, she has great confidence in her abilities as a former reporter to determine who would be best to revive, whether working for the Tsukasa Empire or for the Kingdom of Science. She is so passionate about being a reporter and photography that she agreed to exchange her last bit of revival fluid in exchange for the tool of her trade, a camera. She seems to be emotional, developing a strong attachment to Tsukasa and crying while he was cryogenically frozen for a long time before Senku snapped her out of it with a job. Similarly, she cried once Senku gave her a camera and once a good portion of the Kingdom of Science went on their voyage, she wanted to take a picture to commemorate it, crying because she understood it may be a long time before everyone meets each other again.
