==Interaction==
She is constantly on the move and spins around quickly. It's hard to catch her because she is so fast. That's why using the [[Effects#Stoplight_.EF.BC.88.E3.81.97.E3.82.93.E3.81.94.E3.81.86.EF.BC.89|Stoplight]] or the [[Effects#Bicycle_.EF.BC.88.E3.81.98.E3.81.A6.E3.82.93.E3.81.97.E3.82.83.EF.BC.89|Bicycle]] when trying to catch her is recommended. She shows a normal reaction to the [[Effects#Cat_.EF.BC.88.E3.81.AD.E3.81.93.EF.BC.89|Cat]] and the [[Effects#Knife .EF.BC.88.E3.81.BB.E3.81.86.E3.81.A1.E3.82.87.E3.81.86.EF.BC.89|Knife]] Effects as well.
