Hi! It’s me, Anusha. I have created my avatar using Avatar Creator app. My avatar describes me a lot. I have bright eyes and a smiley face like my avatar. However, I am not as fair as it is in the avatar. I have long, black wavy hair. I like to wear accessories like the rose on my hair. The background color of my avatar is pink which means I like the color pink. Yes that’s true I like light pink and marine blue. Those are pretty colors. So that is how I describe myself through my avatar. Thank You!
