At the center of the forehead is a large light purple dot next to it on either side of orange and blue eyebrows. The eyes are surrounded by a yellow and blue flower design. The nose is a bright blue, and the cheeks have orange and pink designs. The teeth are outlined in bright pink and blue, with blue at the edge of the mouth on both sides, creating a smile.
