The image shows two full-body illustrations of a person with curly hair under a hat adorned with feathers. The person is standing with a confident posture in both illustrations, with one hand resting on their hip and the other inside a pocket or at the front. They have a serious expression on their face with prominent facial features. The outfit consists of a knee-length coat with decorative embroidery along the edges, a shirt underneath, and matching pants that tuck into tall boots. A belt is worn around the waist, accessorized with a sheathed sword hanging by the side. The background is plain with no visible objects or scenery.
