== End of NAMUS description ==

The tattoo is of a stylized cat with pawprints behind it, as if the cat is walking toward the viewer. In my amateur opinion, the tattoo looks as if it might be on the inner arm with the cat closest to the inner wrist. (This is my guess based on the feature below the cat's front feet/paws.)

Here's how Copilot/AI described it: The tattoo features a stylized black cat composed of minimalist shapes:

• Body and tail: Formed by curved lines and paw prints, giving the cat a fluid, abstract silhouette.
• Head: Defined by two sharp triangular ears and a subtle facial outline.
• Paw prints above the cat: Four small prints float above, one of which contains a tiny red heart, adding a touch of warmth and affection.

AI (something called Nano Banana) created these two images based on the NAMUS facial photo. These are not official. These are AI generated. I created them with the hopes that they might help someone to recognize or remember or take an interest and promote her case. I find the sketch to be particularly lovely. She looks as if she's revisiting a happy memory on a breezy day. The other AI generated photo was the result of Nano Banana offering to create a "vintage photo of me hugging my younger self" using Jane Doe's photo. She looks like a movie star.
