She holds a grey-and-brown pickaxe in her right hand. In the shallow water nearby, Minx β€” a blocky, Minecraft-style white dog with large pointed ears with pink inner ear details, round black eyes, a black nose, a pink tongue, and a red collar β€” splashes about with just her head poking above the surface.
