She has super clean and bright coloring and long rooted, shiny brunette hair with straight bangs, perfect sleep eyes with perfect eyelashes, closed mouth with impish smile and slightly turned up nose and is

She has no defects, no cracks, splits or repairs, no missing fingers or stains, no hair trim and no fading or odors as she is from a smoke free home. She will be double-boxed and shipped (over-size) for safe arrival.
