Description
Molly Doran sits in a distinctive cherry-red wheelchair with velvet armrests that serves as her primary mode of movement. Her face appears heavily powdered, creating a mask-like effect with visible cracks across the powder layer. Her white hair provides stark contrast to both her powdered complexion and the vivid wheelchair. Her regular clothing suits her age, and her amputated legs end at the knees.
