Mirei's normal appearance

Normally, Mirei has long, chestnut brown hair that is pulled into a high ponytail with straight-cut bangs. She has matching caramel brown eyes and wears a pair of black glasses.

In PriPara, Mirei's hair changes to a bright blonde color, with part of it wrapping up to form two pointed buns, while the lower half becomes wavier and short, and falls to just brush her shoulders. Her eyes become blue, and she loses her glasses.

Personality

Mirei is a smart and studious girl who happens to be very good at puzzles. She is very serious and can be strict with rules, even if they don't make much sense to others. Her catchphrases are "Keisandouri" (計算どおり), meaning "Just as calculated," and "Keisangai" (計算外), meaning "miscalculated."

Due to her analytical and stern personality, she is the captain of Paprika Private Academy's disciplinary committee. She appears to have a great admiration for things "pop".

As her idol character, she usually ends her sentences with "-pri", and her idol catchphrase is "Pop, step, getcchu!". She is easy-going and perky here, but still shows a bossy personality when things don't go right.
