The 17th Generation members describe her as kind, reliable, and older sister-like, while having a playful side too. She often helps other members learn choreography.
- Mayuu says that being kind and helpful is part of her nature; she was raised to be helfpul because she has the kanji for "kindness" (優) in her name.
