The electric guitar that she is seen using is a Fender American Standard Stratocaster with the color of Sienna Sunburst. In episode 3, it is revealed that she is brought up in a family where her father and mother keeps on having quarrels & fights against one another. It lead her to a fear that keeps everything to herself, which made her become a lonely person.
