Visual Description
A young person with long dark hair crouches and slips away, clutching five gleaming swords to their chest while two more remain planted upright in the ground behind them. The figure wears a yellow spotted blouse, striped pink and purple trousers, and black shoes, set against a pastel landscape of rolling hills and a small striped tent with a flag. The scene is framed by a thick purple and orange border and the title "SEVEN of SWORDS" appears at the bottom. Colors are bright and stylized, with a playful yet furtive atmosphere conveyed by the character’s backward glance.
