As Ciel, she has long blonde hair that reaches her back and her eyes become more of a teal color. She also wears a red headband with two pink tufts and a berry decorating it, resembling her hairstyle as a fairy. She wears a teal dress with puffy sleeves and a magenta bow accenting the bodice. The top part is light blue and white. She also wears long white tights and magenta shoes.

As Cure Parfait, she has pastel pink hair styled in a thick high ponytail. She has a headband with a red and cream-colored parfait on it and horse-like ears on her head. She has a sky blue dress that resembles a parfait glass with cream and a cherry with leaves on top of the bodice and an orange slice and a strap resembling a pineapple slice around the left arm. The skirt is sky blue on the left and gets shorter toward the right, with a green, yellow, orange, and red ruffle hanging from the other side. Her Sweets Pact is in a pouch on the left side of the hip with white wings on each side. She wears elbow-length white gloves and knee-length platform boots with pink at the bottom part. On the back, she has wings and a pegasus' tail. She has deep blue eyes with lime green and yellow accents, raindrop-shaped earrings and a pearly yellow choker.

Arriving at Ichigozaka and Opening Her Pop-Up Shop
At the end of episode 18, Ciel arrives to Ichigozaka from Paris. At the beginning of the next episode, she is seen near Ichigo Mountain and turns back into her fairy form Kirarin, indicating that this was her old home, and she seemed upset. Later that day, now Ciel again, she appears at a fruit stand in the shopping district the Cures were shopping in and startles them, wearing only a pair of sunglasses to conceal her identity as a famous patisserie. She soon reveals said identity, causing a crowd to draw around her and the Cures to become shocked at being in her presence. She then announces that she will open a shop there for a limited time and hold a special demonstration for the spectators. The next day, the Cures come by to see Ciel, and they are marveled by her ability to create fancier sweets than the ones they are used to seeing. Ichika is so impressed that she asks Ciel if she could be her apprentice, but she promptly turns it down.

Relationships
She has a twin brother named Pikario who had been brainwashed by Noir. He had since been freed of the brainwashing and took a hit intended for Ciel as she was making her Pegasus Parfait. He currently rests in the shrine at Ichigo Mountain and even communicates with Ciel in episode 33.
