Her skin is a bit pale, a distinctive mole near her mouth and her body is an average build. She does not seem to know or even care about her looks outside her job, and after quitting Moriko's appearance became unkempt, her hair being long and at times unkept, bags under her eyes as well as eyebrows that haven't been tended too. However, after setting up plans to meet Homare Koiwai for drinks in episode 5, she seeks advice from Lily on how she should dress and style her hair, during which Lily and Kanbe get into a disagreement on if short or long hair is better before Moriko finally chose medium-length hair. In the manga, she is noted to be very attractive and beautiful among her formerly male co-workers or public. Moriko is an introverted and quiet person. The little she likes to speak, she does it in an excessively polite manner but in her head, she analyzes situations and talks to herself with heaps of energy. She has marked low self-esteem, even though other people generally note her for her looks and the quality of its work, her opinion about herself tends to be negative. She is extremely shy, therefore she avoids human contact as much as possible, that has caused her to be inexperienced in social activities and thus, she tends to think people are hard judging her actions so she constantly feels regrets about her decisions, even if that's not true. Whenever she embarrasses herself, Moriko is seen lint rolling the dust off her floor. As she always avoids human contact she is not so used to be well treated, and so she has become really sensitive, and the minimal sign of attention from other people gratifies her to the point of letting tears of joy. She suffered a disorder or phobia called "Atelophobia" which is the fear of not being good enough or a disappointment and "Alexithymia" which describes a person who has a difficult time expressing their feelings to others.
