|-|Appearance=
=== Appearance ===
friend appears to be a whimsical animated character that stands out with its large, round, pink head, which is adorned with six slender, purple appendages. These unique features give the impression of hair or antennae, contributing to the character’s alien-like charm. Its eyes are wide and oval-shaped, set far apart on its face, enhancing the otherworldly vibe. The character’s body is depicted as a slender black form with a long neck that transitions into two stick-like legs ending in flat feet, completing its quirky appearance.
Its eyes are half closed, and the lighting has a bluish tone. The image mimics the dithering effect, just like how the colors were limited back in the 90s era.
