Minimal folded paper triangles, eyes on the front face; emotion = fold angle, they bow, peek, and flatten when embarrassed. Character design sheet, 12 individuals in a grid, each a different pose and emotion (curious, shy, proud, sleepy, startled, delighted, stubborn, comforting). Face = eyes only, no mouth unless noted. Flat 2D, single accent color, neutral background, readable at 20 pixels. Original creature design — inspired by the warmth of classic animation sidekicks but NOT a copy of any existing character.
