Julia's car is not a Cadillac according to her profile


* CoolCar: She has an old vintage car (a 1953 Cadillac Eldorado), like how Haruko has her Vespa scooter. It seems to drive by ''itself'' while she hangs out on the back and can react independently at times, even transforming.

** Naota was a 12-year old boy who tried to act mature for his age and ended up wasting his childhood as a result; his character arc is about grabbing that last chance to act like a kid. Kana, on the other hand, is a teenage girl who loves doing childish things with her friends, and ''her'' character arc is about accepting that she can no longer have that kind of fun when she becomes an adult, which is very soon.

* BigBad: She takes an active villainous role in ''Progressive'' much more so than the original series, now that the audience knows her true intentions from the start. She's openly antagonistic to Iide and Hidomi and her actions, while irreverent as always, often coming off as downright predatory.

* {{Workaholic}}: Mossan's dream to become a fashion designer has forced her to take on part-time jobs to pay tuition for her college studies while also working hard to enter fashion design contests in order to gain the funds needed. That's without mentioning all the time she spent on her classroom's school festival ''by herself and overnight'' because no one else was motivated enough to do it but she tried to spur them all to do it.
