Dolma.

In the hills where Dolma lives, the mornings dawn freezing and the mist doesn't clear until late. That's why her grandmother wove her a very long blanket from the mountain goats' wool: she wraps herself in it up to her nose and doesn't take it off even indoors. That blanket isn't in the portrait — here you only see her from the shoulders up, with her dungaree and her hood — but it's the first thing she grabs when the dawn cold bites. A mountain girl well wrapped up, one of those who know what it costs to warm up.

A fun fact about her species: the red panda has a very long, thick tail, almost as long as its body, and it uses it wrapped around itself like a blanket to keep off the mountain cold. Dolma does with her wool blanket exactly what red pandas do with their tail. I created this portrait head-on and with a plain background, which on a kid's t-shirt stays clear and looks good through every wash and every game. If it wins you over, there's more of her in her biography, and a whole family of characters in the series.
