A self-proclaimed “big sister”. She is skilled at taking care of people and loves cute things. She has a friendly and sociable personality, but can occasionally have extreme mood swings. She has ample self-confidence when it comes to a refined performance and a light, gentle singing voice.
A member of NEW DIMENSION's Knights.

Arashi is a kind, determined individual with a playful streak. It is rare to see her raise her voice, and when she does, it is usually because someone she cares about is going through difficult times or is being mistreated. She has shown a fierce desire, time and time again, to protect everyone who is important to her, and this sometimes causes her to come off as overbearing or fussy despite also trying to be hands-off to keep the peace in some situations. She tries to solve her problems on her own without involving others even though she is often trying to help others herself, which can sometimes hurt her friends, as they may perceive her as being a stranger and not letting them know anything about her. Because she often refuses to accept help from others, when a situation becomes more stressful than she can handle, she may snap at those around her or push them even further away.

She is dedicated to the act of self-love, often declaring that she is the most beautiful and that no matter how others feel about her, she loves herself. This act may be used to cover her insecurities, but she wants those around her to see their strengths and love themselves as well. Though often seeming mature and capable, she possesses a childish side and loves competition, especially against fellow model Izumi. Due to how easily skills come to her, she adores people who work hard for what they have and always cheers on those around her in their endeavors. She has a sweet tooth and absolutely loves cake, but she tries not to eat too much of it due to worrying about its calorie content.
