She views herself as superior to Lum in many ways, particularly in her romantic pursuits.

Her design in Urusei Yatsura features green hair and distinctive alien attire, often emphasizing her role as an outsider and a rival. Sarutae's interactions with Lum and Ataru usually lead to chaotic and humorous situations, typical of the series' comedic style. While she is a recurring character, her role is primarily to create conflict and comedic tension within the established relationships of the main cast. She represents another facet of Lum's alien heritage and the challenges Lum faces in her relationship with Ataru.
