💡 Character style suggestion:

• Keep Dolly’s design soft, thoughtful, maybe with wavy hair or something that shows individuality.

• Den could be more cheeky-looking (messy hair, casual clothes).

• Use speech bubbles for dialogue + thought bubbles for when they reflect (like Dolly’s “no one speaks my language”).

Would you like me to sketch a rough panel storyboard (stick-figure style but clear) so you have a visual guide before you draw your own version?
