The Eyes Have It

A close-up of a Ruru / Morepork. A fluorescent tube light is reflected in each of her big round shiny eyes; black pupils ringed by irises of honey-yellow. She is wrapped in a light lavender-blue fabric with what looks to be a very soft material and stitch pattern. The Ruru's feathers are dark brown with streaks of tan, and an X-shaped bridge of cream above the beak and between her anime character eyes.
