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 arms are bare and their hands are hidden behind the skirt.
