Manga style illustration of a young female character with black hair and big eyes, wearing a black and white argyle patterned sweater, black shorts, and houndstooth patterned tights with black shoes, standing vertically in the center of a grid of nine white squares. The character is positioned in the middle column of the grid, spanning from the top row to the bottom row, with her head in the top center square, her torso and arms in the middle center square, and her legs and feet in the bottom center square. Each of the remaining six squares (top left, middle left, bottom left, top right, middle right, bottom right) contains a single black Japanese kanji character against a white background.
