    Vesta is very much like its pre-evolution form, Titmouse. They retain the same short, thick fur, slight muzzle, expressive slightly long ears and long thin tail. The largest difference is that Vesta's fur and hair is always a rich crimson color. Some Vesta's have different shades of fur but all can be classed as crimson red. The fur is highly flame resistant which provides Vesta some protection against hostile fire based attacks, however it does not mean she is immune and can quickly be overwhelmed by a more powerful fire type.
    Like Titmice, Vesta also tends to be 'ditzy', lacking the ability to focus and remember complicated sets of instructions or duties, which is disappointing since some mouse types, like its cousin, the Mareen, have impressive memories. Also unlike Titmouse, Vesta is never employed as librarian aides because they are very prone to accidental fire damage by igniting things near to them when startled or excited. They also seem to develop rather disturbing pyromaniac tendencies, loving to watch fires burn; the very presence of fire can be hypnotic for a Vesta.
    The few saving graces of Vesta are its increased speed from its Titmouse form and its new elemental affiliation, which makes them not a bad fire type starter Pokégirl for tamers if a more powerful fire type is not available. Indeed a number of tamers have started their careers with Vesta because of the relative ease at which to acquire a Titmouse and then use a Fire Stone on it.
    Tamers also find Vesta's useful because they seem to be natural cooks, having an ability to start a fire in almost any conditions, although the tamer will have to be content with vegetarian food as Vesta is an herbivore that predominately eats fruit and nuts. It finds cooking meat to be repulsive and attempts to avoid doing so at any opportunity.
    Along with the new fire affinity Vesta gains other common fire type traits, including becoming very amorous, having a much higher libido and increased aggression. Vestas are much more capable in combat than most mouse type Pokégirls. When attacked, Vestas are more hostile than Titmice or Mareen and will stand and fight, using its Flamethrower against the enemy to a fairly decent effect. Most people underestimate Vestas as being weak, often leading to their downfall at the hands of the Vesta. You should remember that whilst not the most powerful Fire type, it is still capable of handling itself in a fight. Like all mouse-type Pokégirls, Vesta has a fear of cat types, however in Vesta's case it just causes it to fight harder unleashing the full force of its fire powers to keep the cat type as far away from itself as possible, much to many Catgirls' chagrin.
    As a pet, it is not popular due to their pyromaniac tendencies which can cause a lot of trouble for a pet owner. They have to ensure that their homes are fire proof and all matches are kept well out of reach, therefore Vesta are only really seen as pets to someone who likes or specializes in Fire-type Pokégirls.
    Feral Vestas are not a common sight. It is quite rare to even see one due to the fact that its evolution is caused by a Fire Stone, which are rare to find in the wilderness. However, when discovered, you can be sure others are around as they tend to live in small groups of about ten. When one of these groups are found they are usually found in forest locations, far from water sources to minimize the chance of running into a Water-type Pokégirl which could otherwise do serious harm to them.
    Threshold girls do occasionally become Vesta. When they do their families are quick to sell them off to ranches, as they have little control over their fire abilities initially and can cause significant property damage with their newfound powers.
