Description

Physical Description:

A dark-skinned figure with a tall headdress or updo hairstyle, a high-necked black cowl that covers the top of the shoulders, black and white bodice with a checked design, and a flowing, feathery white skirt long enough to obscure the figure's feet. The figure's bare arms are visible on either side of the skirt.
