A photo of me - a pale, brunette woman with dark eyes - in a rose pink top and bubblegum pink leggings. An illustration of the Goddess of Love and Beauty Venus riding on a white swan over shining waters, surrounded by doves and roses. An illustration of a young man with long black hair, pale skin, a gold robe, and gold ornamentation, greeting a young woman with green eyes, brown skin, a green robe, and brown hair in a bun. Both are holding masquerade masks. An illustration of an anthropomorphic sheep girl in a short robins egg blue dress leaning on the shoulder of an anthropomorphic male lion in cargo pants, a spiked belt, and a torn black tanktop that reads "ROAR."
