Her name is 虎丸星 (Toramaru Shou) and the kanji for each character are 虎 tora (tiger), 丸 maru (circle) and 星 hoshi (star). The reading for kanji is oftentimes different in names.
Actually, the first kanji should be 寅 (=also tora/tiger), but ZUN used 虎 once in the description of her boss theme.
They aren't; it just looks that way because the artist cut the numbers out of the colored pattern and/or outlined them, rather than constructing them as solid pattern like they did with the others. (read: the gaps you're seeing are actually the numbers, not the colored part.) I had to do a double-take, too.
