In her true form of Cure Muse, Ako appears to be her real age. Her brighter hair grows longer and curls inward, splitting in the center to form two separate parts. Her bangs remain short, while her forelocks spread. Worn in her hair are two long yellow ribbons and a pink gem heart on a white curled head piece. Her earrings are pink and yellow.

Two long yellow ribbons hang from the back of her skirt, and she gains yellow and white boots with gold sole and bows with a pink gem hearts.

Personality
When she first appeared, she was cold and disrespectful to her elders (Hibiki and Kanade) and very mature for her age. But behind all that coldness, she is a sweet, loving and caring girl and sometimes likes to have a little fun and loves singing.

She loves her parents, but hates it when fight and wishes them to stop and took the choice of doing it herself. She loves her father very dearly and even transformed into a Pretty Cure for him. But, when he does awkward and gushy things she tends to get flustered.

There are hints that she might like Souta as he is her only friend before she became friends with the Pretty Cures. She is often shown with him.
