Like other Cryptics, Design is a creature with stiff robes and a shifting pattern for a head. Her head pattern is lacy and intricate, and seems to be more fine and graceful than [[Pattern]]'s. She has a musical, feminine voice. She can flare out her pattern, which is her way of giving a bow.{{book ref|sa4|80}}
When living on [[Komashi]], she took the form of an attractive Nagadan woman who appeared to be in her early twenties, with a full form and long white hair. This was achieved via a Lightweaving illusion.{{book ref|yumi|5}} She specifically asked for a striking and voluptuous figure, both as a way to be particularly disturbing to people if she ever reveals her true appearance, and because she likes the appearance of human curves.{{book ref|yumi|5}}
=== Personality ===

She developed a cordial relationship with [[Nikaro|Painter]], who frequented her restaurant
