Art style: Paper Cut.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright, centered — a cheerful, energetic middle child, a boy about eight years old with a slim, wiry, active build. He has warm light skin with rosy cheeks, big bright brown eyes, a wide gap-toothed grin, and tousled short chestnut-brown hair sticking up in playful tufts. He wears a bright red-and-yellow striped short-sleeve t-shirt, denim shorts with rolled cuffs, mismatched colorful socks, and green-and-white sneakers with untied laces. One knee has a small bandage from playing. He strikes a lively pose mid-motion, arms spread wide with a soccer ball tucked under one arm, leaning forward with excited energy. The setting is a sunny backyard with green grass, a wooden fence, and a leafy tree behind him. No aura or FX.
