Their star-racers are rectangle-shaped, red with a black border and, when it is two separate racers, are driven like motorcycles. The short-haired of the two, Skun, can make her fingernails grow into very long claws. She is also extremely strong, tearing a hole in the Arrow III's hull with her bare hands in the episode Nervous Like Ning & Skun.
