Its head and abdomen are white and its eyes, which resemble seeds, are a light shade of scarlet. It has dark green, linear leaves for arms, and a golden sepal under its neck. It wears a large, light green, tulip shaped collection of leaves, resembling a dress. There are two long, dark green, linear leaves coming from its back to around the bottom of its "dress". It also possesses another golden, sepal-shaped extension underneath its "dress", resembling feet.

Origin
From its name and the curvature of its petals, Lilligant may be based on a lily, but the relaxing smell of its flower is more akin to orange, pomelo, mandarin orange, or carnation flowers, all of which are used in essential oils for aromatherapy. With this, the leaves of its body may also be based on essential oil ingredients like spearmint and peppermint. Its crown and dress may be derived from Western high-class women's fashion during 1750–1775. It could also be based on a dancer since its lower body resembles a ball gown, and several of the moves that it learns by leveling up contain the word "Dance".
Name origin
Lilligant may be a combination of lily and elegant.
Dredear may be a combination of dress, dear, lady, and Dianthus.
