Default attire
Yuria is a red panda turned human who measures at 153 cm (5'0") with emerald eyes and coral hair with white accents. Her hair is stylized to have a crowned braid. Yuria's ears are triangular in shape with the outer rim being white in coloration and the ear flap being dark brown. Each ear contains small amounts of white fur. Her tail is the same coloration as her hair, having three white bands and the color fading to a dark brown near the tip.

Yuria scores a vertical, banded, sleeveless white tank top with a band on top and a red insignia above the chest. A mole is present on her skin towards the right of the tank top. Yuria wears a royal blue sleeveless coat with periwinkle accents, strapped by a delft blue band, holding a portable green bamboo stick. All added periwinkle accents in the front contains a triangle design at the corner of each cloth and is faced inwards.

The collar presents a connective tie to secure the coat in place with a rose with white petals and blush pink pistil located on Yuria's left, and a neatly tied knot with a silver button in the center on her right. The interior of Yuria's coat has designs of bamboo leaves, colored and outlined with light blue.

Yuria's sleeves are separate from her coat and is royal blue in coloration and contains periwinkle bands at both ends. Yuria wears white vertical banded high knee socks and white high knee boots. Each boot has a vertical line design, splitting it in half and sapphire soles. Much like her coat and sleeves, Yuria's outer boot flaps is royal blue in coloration with periwinkle accents, tied together by black laces.

Alternate costume
Yuria's second costume is comprised of an elegant short dress with a multitude of purple and periwinkle hues and golden accents. Below her right ear, Yuria holds a wears a rose hairpiece with white petals, blush pink pistils, banded together with an exterior mauve ribbon with twin golden lines running near the ends, two interior golden ribbons and two distinct purple ornaments. Her left ears is pinned with two plus-like golden ear rings.

Yuria's hairstyle is now twin tailed and her braid goes up vertically instead of horizontally. From the torso, Yuria scores a purple dress that is high knee length, with mauve sleeves that reveal her bare shoulders. Yuria's dress contains a black transparent window that extends from the middle of her neck to the tip of her chest and contains her red insignia above her chest. Both her dress collars and dress are royal purple in coloration and is spotted with golden accents.

Her outer coat is mauve in coloration, with golden accents, which surrounds tropical indigo frilly sleeves with bamboo patterns. Yuria's dress is strapped together by a dark violet band, with two blackberry straps, pinned by golden diamonds. A tropical indigo cloth with a floral design is present beneath her band. Yuria has her signature black belt that surrounds her waist and is present beneath her band. Her green bamboo is displayed on her right.

From her legs down, Yuria's right sock shows no skin, while her left leg is compressed midway through her thighs with a floral design, banded with an eggplant purple tip and strapped together by two mauve ribbons. Yuria sports a periwinkle cape, which is reminiscent to her original design and contains bamboo patterns. Her cape is floral in design, fades from periwinkle to cloudy blue and contains golden accents. Her ankles are circled by straps of heather and pinned together by golden diamonds. Her ballerina flats are eggplant in coloration with grape soles.

Personality
Selfless almost to a fault, her altruistic disposition occasionally comes back to haunt her. This leaves her at times overwhelmed with her new body, emotions, and surroundings, but her determination makes her a tough contender and valuable ally. While she can be a bit harsh and rough around the edges, her intentions are pure and her potential unwavering. She is driven by an innate desire to become stronger and succeed, and will fight for her cause with her allies by her side.
