The anime-influenced art style is a deliberate choice: soft rounded forms, large expressive brown eyes, rosy cheeks, and a slightly mischievous raised eyebrow that hints at a character full of personality beyond the greeting pose. The bunny hood with its round ears adds a layer of costume playfulness, making Gelin instantly memorable as a visual anchor within the learning interface."}]},{"type":"paragraph","attrs":{"textAlign":null},"content":[{"type":"text","text":"The accompanying logomark — a bold yellow shield badge on chocolate brown, with \"GELIN\" in a chunky rounded display typeface and the tagline \"GEMBIRA & LINCAH\" beneath — grounds the character in a strong, badge-like brand identity.
