A young woman with long black hair and bangs, wearing a white sweater, leans forward with her mouth open and hand touching her cheek, holding a small figurine on chopsticks. The figurine is a plush doll with a green head resembling a sprout or plant, with wide eyes and a small body with tiny limbs. There is a small sheep toy on a white surface in front of her, and the background is plain gray.
