Valentina appears as a pink woman who wears an iridescent cream-colored dress, which moves during her battle, red stilettos, teal eyeshadow, thick mascara, and bright red lipstick. She has a somewhat amphibian-like face (most closely resembling that of a captive leucistic {{wp|axolotl}}) and a parrot on her head in place of hair; according to the game's monster designer, Kazuyuki Kurashima, the parrot is an homage to [[Squawks]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.<ref>{{cite|author=@kurashimakaz|language=en|date=June 23, 2023|url=x.com/kurashimakaz/status/1672059029865263104 This is a homage.|publisher=X|accessdate=June 23, 2023|archive=web.archive.org/web/20230623084403/https://twitter.com/kurashimakaz/status/1672059029865263104}}</ref> During her battle, she carries a martini glass which has no effect on the gameplay. | Valentina appears as a pink-skinned woman who wears an iridescent cream-colored dress, which moves during her battle, red stilettos, teal eyeshadow, thick mascara, and bright red lipstick.

Many elements of Valentina's design are based on conventional western beauty standards, humorously exaggerating these to highlight her vanity. In addition to her apparel, she is considerably taller than other characters and possesses large breasts (which shake during her hurt animation, an effect which is toned down in the remake), large hips, and an extremely skinny waist, parodying the "hourglass figure" seen in idealized depictions of women. The shape of her torso additionally resembles a martini glass, tying in with her Japanese name of "Margarita". | Many elements of Valentina's design are based on conventional western beauty standards, humorously exaggerating these to highlight her vanity.
