Appearance
Gumi is a green-eyed female Vocaloid, with green shoulder length hair.

Her clothes consist of a orange buttoned dress, the inside being yellow and the abdomen section transparent yellow. The dress has green buttons and a green belt with a silver buckle.

Her white boots are knee height high heel boots with green flaps and soles. On her head, she has a pair of futuristic white headphones with a microphone along with pink shades.

In Append Form
Compared to Gumi's original form, the look traditionally linked to her Append version purely differs only by clothes. Instead of a shades, she has a pink visor over her eyes and two levitating cannons that look like the two halves of a carrot.

However, it should be noted, none of these clothes are vital to the operation of the Append systems so Gumi is completely free to dress differently, including as her original form. In fact, she prefers to dress in her original clothes as it hides that she had an upgrade.

Personality
In a normal situation, Gumi is very optimistic and celebrates the good things in life. However, as an android, she is able to override her personality whenever appropriate to turn to complete seriousness.

Gumi Append

Original Events, Pre-
After the death of and the merging of Gensokyo and The North High Colony into, Gumi and the rest of  realised there are many newcomers in  who were very powerful and have an advantage against androids including  and. It was decided that an alliance with High Gensokyo would be necessary. As High Gensokyo was also looking for assistance in their own territory, an exchange of prisoners was arranged as a sign of goodwill involving six of but it was unsuccessful. However, Miku was confronted at by  and , leaders of , a massive group of people devoted to the collapse of  , in an attempt to gain Vocaloid access codes to allow control of all of Yamaha's security and projects, including. Gumi escaped the Society by moving her consciousness into her body and went into hiding.

Gumi heard via of a plan of the crew of the  to use  to time travel to prevent the death of Haruhi. Doom interrupted this plan and destroyed the controls to the garage shutter, the shutter slowly closing automatically, which would have prevented The DeLorean from leaving the garage. As Doom was about to attack, Gumi ed in, absorbing the electricity he was firing, which she intended to use to power up The DeLorean. She held up the shutter to allow the car out. However, Magneto pulled Gumi away from the shutter with his magnetic powers. Gumi, damaged by the magnetic powers and overheating from holding too much electricity, held on until The DeLorean left the garage, powering it up with the stored electricity. This transfer irreversibly overheated heats her circuits, shutting her down.

The DeLorean's Changes
Naluri Sihara and Sasaki successfully used The DeLorean to time travel back to just before Haruhi was killed by a but Sasaki abandoned Naluri after  was used on Haruhi. Gumi's would-be fatal battle was interrupted by Naluri and was tasked, along with a revived Miku, with fighting Doom.

, a sentient crystal ball, was briefly released from statis in The Arctic Prison to allow Haruhi to examine him for danger. As an, he was deemed a harmless object but was placed back in statis just in case. However, in the time he was free, he digitalised the surrounding area, making the statis ineffective. The digitisation spread throughout the universe, including the Gumi.

Yggdrasil's digitalisation passed through covering, inadvertently allowing , who had been imprisoned in there since Doomsday, to escape. Skynet established control over all digital beings and machines, including Gumi.

, including who had managed to establish a digital connection to the universe due the digitalisation, agreed to stage a fake war to coax  to feel true fear, the last missing emotion of Haruhi's Hand Canon, to allow them to return to their original worlds. Under the guise of a difference in ideals between Haruhi, Miku and, The Three Kingdoms were refounded. Gumi remained with Yamaha, said to believe that imprisonment of certain beings was necessary to ensure the safety of others. As part of the plan, Gensokyo declared war on Yamaha and North High. Gumi fought in, , and confronted to allow Rokiahi and  to flee from Gensokyo's forces.
