Reflecting her hazardous lifestyle as a frontier bounty hunter, her default attire consisted of a practical and stylized Western outfit designed for high mobility. This look featured a matching yellow vest and skirt paired with a dark, long-sleeved undershirt, dark gloves, and rugged riding boots. Her most distinctive accessory was her deceased father's silver sheriff's badge, which she wore pinned prominently to her clothing or kept readily accessible on her gun belt.
