Her right hand appears on the viewer’s left and her left hand on the viewer’s right, with both palms facing outward, wrists bent and fingers loosely curled inward. Her enlarged violet eyes contain bright yellow four-pointed star shapes. Her eyebrows lift and pinch slightly inward, her cheeks carry fine pink blush strokes, and her tiny pursed mouth forms a small pointed catlike shape with a pale highlight beneath it. The expression conveys intense, comically exaggerated delight. Maomao has fair peach skin, a small pointed chin and scattered brown freckles across her nose and upper cheeks. Her dark teal hair has straight segmented bangs, thick cheek-framing side sections and broad green-teal highlights across the crown. Two narrow braids descend over her chest, each tied with a muted pink bead above a turquoise bead and ending in a short dark tassel. Large triangular teal cat ears rise from either side of her head, with dark inner sections and jagged furry edges, forming part of the exaggerated feline presentation alongside her visible human ears. She wears a light green crossed-front robe with darker green folds and yellow-green sleeve lining. A pale blue-grey inner collar crosses over a white underlayer. Her left wrist, on the viewer’s right, has a pale wrap with diagonal seam lines extending beneath the sleeve. The lower edge crops her torso and forearms. Bright yellow four-pointed sparkles of different sizes surround her head and shoulders, with a particularly large sparkle above her left shoulder on the viewer’s right. The background combines broad horizontal dark-brown wooden mouldings with deep red decorative panels divided by teal-green bands and narrow gold edging. A small partially obscured gold-and-green ornament sits behind her shoulder on the viewer’s left. Warm frontal illumination keeps the face and palms pale and bright, with firmer shadows beneath the chin, fingers and sleeves. Muted jade-green clothing and deep teal hair contrast with burgundy-red panels and warm brown wood. The face and palms are softly peach-lit, with dusty mauve shadows. Yellow star pupils and surrounding four-pointed sparkles are the brightest saturated accents; their pale centres carry a small soft glow. A gentle diffuse veil softens the image, while the background retains mottled, painted surface variation.
