The icon shows a pixelated figure with long dark hair tied back, wearing a white short-sleeve shirt. The figure's right arm is extended forward in a pointing gesture toward the left side of the frame. Background consists of two distinct areas: a solid brown section on the left and a lighter gray area on the right. Pixelation obscures fine details but reveals visible skin tone, dark hair strands, and white fabric texture. No text or symbols are present.
