Meet Daisy Buchanan

A slender, graceful young woman in her early twenties with a fair, lightly freckled complexion and warm brown eyes. Her honey-blonde hair is set in soft finger-waves cut to a chin-length bob. Her face is sad and lovely, with a bright, passionate mouth. She wears a pale cream-and-gold beaded flapper dress with fringed, off-the-shoulder detailing and a long rope of white pearls.
