One hand is raised to the side of his head in a loose peace sign, his elbow lifted casually. His short hair is a pale silver-white with soft brown and dark gradient tones at the roots, a few strands falling across his face. His eyes are a warm amber-yellow, wide and slightly unfocused, lips parted with a small tongue just peeking out at the corner, his expression somewhere between surprised and vacant. On top of his head sits a large frilled animal hood, white and rounded with small dark cat ears and a stylized cartoon raccoon or cat face printed on the front, its markings dark and graphic against the white fabric. The hood frames his face from above, its frilled edge sitting low on his forehead. He wears a white structured jacket with a row of buttons down the front, a large frilled bow tied at the collar, and small dark claw-like trim details dotting the sleeves and chest. A soft yellow-orange necktie hangs loose at his collar, slightly askew, its warm tone the single brightest color against the otherwise muted white and grey of his whole outfit. The background is plain white, completely empty, keeping every detail of his expression and costume sharp and uncluttered against it.
