Her eyes are emerald colored except when she enters Uranus mode, during which they become red, and purple during combat. Ikaros weighs 48kg (105 lbs) and is 162cm (5'3) tall. A noteable feature of her are her wings which she can control the size of at will, something unique to Ikaros among the first generation Angeloids

Personality

Due to her emotional capacity being low by design she initially was unable to experience or express emotions, however throughout the series Ikaros has incrementally developed the capacity to experience various emotions such as sorrow, love, anger, happiness and more. Ikaros usually behaves placid but will fight for and protect those she holds dear, also being loyal to death to her chosen Master. Multiple times throughout the story she experiences frustration and jealousy over the MC spending time with the other Angeloids living with him and later on knowing she will die confesses her true feelings to the MC, later getting embarrassed by that when she is brought back to life by the machine called "The Rule". Ikaros has a preference for round, smooth things, especially watermelons which she grows in her garden, she also raised a chicken at one point.

Abilities and Weapons

Ikaros has a battle mode called "Uranus Queen" which gives her full access to her power potential and grants access to various weapons. While in Uranus Queen mode her eyes turn red, her pink wings change into a bright light and a golden halo appears above her head. She is capable of flying at at least Mach 24 and possesses a powerful radar capable of detecting anything or anyone from a far distance, she has also shown herself capable of easily solving complex mathematical equations.
While in Uranus Queen mode Ikaros has access to four weapons/abilities:

  1. The Aegis Shield which can block almost any attack from any direction making her almost invulnerable when deployed successfully.
  2. The Apollon Bow, a silver bow that creates energy arrows with enough force to destroy the entirety of Japan in one shot at full charge.
  3. The Artemis Launcher which allows her to launch dozens of homing energy missiles from her wings.
  4. Hephaestus, a giant cannon that fires a straight wide face laser beam supposedly able to shatter Earth itself on impact.

Ikaros also has a "self evolution program" called Pandora which allows an angeloid in possession of it to grow stronger over time and also repair broken systems and functions.
