[ID: traditional drawing made with posca markers that shows a black person from the back shoulders up. They have long braided hair tied in a ponytail with charms and beads in it in the shape of stars and planets. They have a long earring made of white beads with a pink star at the end. They are wearing a light blue hoodie. The background is cyan with a yellow star/explosion behind them.
