Her attire is meant to be flamboyant, so she can stand out from the more experienced wrestling pools and circles. This is stark contrast to many of the Japanese characters of Street Fighter who often tend to have black and/brown hair and eyes respectively (with the exception of Karin Kanzuki). Her attire is a blue and white lingerie-like leotard with ruffles around areas such as the collar, the sleeves, and the leg-holes, knee-length wrestling boots with white stockings, a white bustier with her leotard chest piece covered by two blue heart shaped patterns (in SFV the blue hearts were replaced by a heart-shaped window), completed with a blue eye-mask. Mika has long, blonde hair with bangs that are tied in two geometrical pigtails and she also has blue eyes. After a long period of absence, Mika returned in Street Fighter V, sporting her original character design. Her attire appears as a swap costume for Tekken character Kuma in Street Fighter X Tekken.

Unlike other grapplers in the Street Fighter series, who are slow and heavy, Mika is more fast and agile. Debuting in Street Fighter Alpha 3, Mika is primarily a grappling character, whose main weapons are high-priority command throws. Later, the team created Karin to provide a contrast to her. Mika was created to introduce a "tricky and technical character" into the series.
