Her old design is very similar, except that there's a more predominant use of saturated orange and brown. The amount of white used is redistributed, as there's less of it in her hair, stockings and on her ears and more of it on her plaid accents. The design doesn't appear to have the Japari emblem. Her hair curls are more detailed and more curly compared to the current design, which simplifies the hair curls into bunches. | Her old design is very similar, except that there's a more predominant use of saturated orange and brown.

The Golden Tiger is a tiger with a "blonde" coat compared to the orange-coated tigers. They are not a true subspecies, instead the distinct golden color is caused by a recessive gene, much like [[White Tiger]] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_tiger Black tigers]. This gene (called ''wideband'') affects the production of black fur coloring during the hair growth process. | |||
All Golden Tigers in captivity and human care can be traced back to one white tiger named Bhim. | |||
