She has an orange face with red eyes, a red gem on her forehead and yellow and black "horns".

Special abilities

Vespiquen has three separate signature moves that involve summoning a swarm of baby Combee, which she stores in her honeycomb-like lower abdomen. One is for attacking, the second is for defending and the third is for recovering.
