Art style: 2D Hand-drawn.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright, figure centered with a snowy old-town setting filling the sides. Gerda is a ten-year-old girl with a round, gentle face, warm fair skin with rosy cheeks, large kind hazel eyes, small nose, and a soft hopeful smile. She has long wavy chestnut-brown hair parted in the middle, loosely tied back with a red ribbon, a few strands framing her face. Slender child build, modest height. She wears a cozy winter outfit: a cream knitted sweater under a deep-red woolen cloak with a hood, a warm plaid scarf, a mid-length grey-blue skirt, thick dark woolen tights, and sturdy laced leather ankle boots on snow-dusted cobblestones. Mittens tucked in her belt. Brave, caring expression, one hand reaching gently forward. Gentle falling snowflakes drift around her.
