She is wearing a teal sweater that falls slightly off one shoulder, with tattoos visible on the shoulder, and a darker teal sports bra beneath it. She is sitting in a brown office chair before an oak rolltop desk with a computer on it. The desk's drawers have brass handles, and its cubbyholes are stuffed with papers. The walls are turquoise. On one wall are pictures of lighthouses and sailboats and whales, and on the other wall there is a stylish brass clock, and sticky-notes with handwriting on them, in multiple colors, stuck all over the wall. The desk has a pale aqua-colored coffee mug with "Faith not Fear" in orange letters. She has mugs with colored pens and highlighters. In a puffy brown chair beside the desk, a gray cat is curled up asleep. Her hands have slender fingers and she wears a diamond wedding ring with sapphires to either side of the diamond. Her hair is silver and her eyes are turquoise. 2D cartoon hyper-realistic.
