Personality
Tsumugi is an honors type student who speaks in a docile and gentle way, but she becomes very passionate when she talks about her favorite series or cosplays, having a habit of slipping in famous quotes from various sources into conversation.

Tsumugi also tends to ignore people while she's in her thoughts, no matter how many times they try talking to her.

While Tsumugi is the Super High School Level Cosplayer, she only enjoys making costumes, not wearing them. She is not really fond of people looking at her. However, she hates using cosplayers who care more about standing out than love of the series, so she wears her own costumes as well, with love. So in that case, she likes people looking at her when she wears her own costumes with love. She deeply loves cosplaying as she states that cosplaying is an expression of love.

Super High School Level Cosplayer
Despite her status as the Super High School Level Cosplayer, Tsumugi actually doesn't have interest in cosplaying herself. Rather, she states that she enjoys recreating costumes more. She loves to create costumes, because it is like making a fictional character real, in a way. She is so popular that she has a corporate sponsorship so she became able to use even the most simply expensive materials without restraint. She states that they have as many people as the amount of people who came to see the first panda coming to Japan.

She is also a well versed otaku in anime and manga references. In her promotional artwork, Tsumugi is featured with mannequins wearing lingerie and a wig, several paints and cosmetic brushes, as well as red thread and an object which could be interpreted as scissors. This could imply that her talent is multi-faceted.
