Dense Caption

Static pixel art depicts a stylized human-like face. The character has short bright blue hair with darker blue shading at the top and lighter blue highlights near the bottom. A large solid red bow is positioned on the left side of the head. Thick black eyebrows sit above oversized round glasses with thick black frames; the lenses are white with black pupils. The skin tone is light beige. The mouth forms a simple curved smile. Background is plain gray. Pixelation creates blocky edges and limited color blending.
