Trainer,

Please... won't you lead this Croix to victory?

Croix, is shining so brightly right now...!

Ah... more... This star shall be mine...!

Du Nord is an elite who craves those fleeting moments of bliss when she gains a star (i.e., victory)

A motif which takes elements of her father Kitasan Black

There are also crosses in her eyes, and her eyelashes are patterned after swans

Because the stars of the Northern Cross (Croix Du Nord) are part of the Cygnus constellation, and when you think of swans, you think of ballet, so I incorporated the imagery of swan feathers, a ballet leotard and tutu skirt into her design...
