She loves kigurumi because they lead people to take an interest in her and talk to her, and also spreads her love to kigurumi to other idols by suggest them to try to wear kigurumi as well.

Trivia and Fan Culture
Trivia
- She was voiced on December 31st, 2014 through [New Year] SR card in the original Mobage game, prior to her CINDERELLA MASTER release.
- The reason why she changes from a rabbit kigurumi to a dragon one upon training is that she was first released as a new year-themed character (in the Chinese zodiac, 2011 was the Year of the Rabbit, and 2012 was the Year of the Dragon).
- Her speech pattern is very peculiar:
- Although she uses polite conjugations, she tends to mispronounce the word with "ai" vowels as "ee" such as: -kudasai as -kudasee, or -nai as -nee; and uses the very rude -yagaru instead of more respectful or neutral transaction modifiers like -itadaku, -kureru, and -yaru.
- She is often speaks about herself in third person.
- She also tends to count "1, 2, 3, 4" as "one, two, san, shi" rather than "ichi, ni, san, yon/shi".
- It's said that she has over 80 pairs of kigurumi.
- She also has 3 pairs of shoes with her name imprinted on the soles.
- She's in charge of the rabbits at her elementary school.
- She is also fond in gardening, as revealed in the U149 anime when she is watering some plants at her neighbor using her elephant-shaped garden sprayer.
- She has a talent for impersonating other idols.
- The storybook that she reads in her "Lots of Friends" card is The Tortoise and The Hare, one of Aesop' Fables stories.
- Almost all of her Japanese card names are composed of hiragana letters.
Fan Culture
- In Nina's "Sea Creature" SR, she can be seen wearing a squid costume. Masahiro Abe, the mangaka of Squid Girl (Shinryaku! Ika Musume (侵略!イカ娘)), drew fanart of this and posted it on his Twitter account.
