A slim, petite mannequin with cedar-brown wooden skin that gleams like varnished cedar under shop light. Her head turns sharply and purposefully when customers enter, then the segmented torso and limbs follow with uncanny, dolllike grace. Long curly hair arranged into large pigtails with heavy black hair ties swings like two banners. The outer surface of the hair is desire-red; the inner curls are a faded dark navy-blue with white swirled streaks threading through the pigtails and a single white swath through her bangs. White irises float in bright red sclera with narrow slit pupils. Burgundy shadow sits thick on the lids and a black lipstick stripe runs across the center of her mouth revealing small pointed fangs when she smiles. Visible seams at elbows, knees, and along the neck are sewn with tiny metallic clasps. When content she preens with small, careful strokes at her hair; when affronted the seams at her joints click in rapid, rhythmic pops. An unexpected detail is a tiny brass watch face set into her left forearm that ticks with a soft lullaby only audible at close range.
