Her color set and design resemble that of the Firefox logo.
There are many variations of her design, usually with slight variations in her hair colour and her outfit. Her ears somewhat change from design to design as well, but essentially, she is pictured a fox-girl with long red/orange hair, with fox ears and a bushy tail.
