Appearance

I-8 wears a school swimsuit with a name tag on it (much like I-19) along with white thigh-high socks and a peaked cap. She has medium-length blonde hair in low twintails. She also has blue eyes framed with glasses.

I-8 has a tendency to mix German words in her speech by mistake, right down to referring to herself as "Acht". She is also a bookworm, translated as torpedoes coming out of the books' pages.
