She had short, curly black hair with a reddish tint and brown eyes and wore a red or pink comb in her hair. Her clothing included a navy-blue zip-up sweater and a black sweatshirt. She wore a silver ring on the third finger of her left hand, a gold spade-shaped earring in her left ear, and a gold crescent-shaped earring in her right ear.
