Idol
Her idol outfit during the first season was pretty simple. In the Saga Arena she wears a dress that resembles a queen, since Iron Frill is considered to be the queens of Tokyo.

Personality
Shiori shows a reckless personality not being afraid to say what comes to mind and is quite aggressive when proposing or rejecting offers, although she seems somewhat conceited by her attitude, actually from her perspective she wants to help Ai get out of the old-fashioned prefecture. of Saga and manage to become a great idol with Iron Frill, but the way she expresses her offer is quite selfish by belittling Franchouchou and telling them that they are nothing compared to her group. Despite this, she shows to have admiration for Ai and wants to overcome what she did to her in her lifetime without having to go through the same fate as her.

Later it is shown that her attitude towards Ai is due to the fact that she admired her since she was little girl and dreamed of being like Ai, this is highlighted by Yui who tells her to leave the past behind and focus on what is coming.
