Dense Caption

Blue pixelated star-shaped figure with four arms, two white circular eyes, and a small black dot for a nose on a gray background. The figure has a rounded body with a slightly darker blue outline. The arms extend horizontally from the sides, and the legs are positioned as if standing. The overall style is blocky and low-resolution, typical of early digital graphics. The figure's expression appears neutral with no visible mouth. The background is a solid light gray color with no additional elements.
