[b]This is the best ref i have of her:

NEW!Face ref:

Sorry for the horribleness! But a bit of clearing up on the reference...that heart on her thigh..is NOT darker then the rest of the spots! Also on top of her head, that bit of darkness...those are her two ossicones!(her giraffe horns) Just so you dont confuse it as a big black bump (: She has deep brown eyes, and 'giraffe eyelashes' (if you look up on google you will know what i mean) And she also as regular colored giraffe hooves! so that darker grey/black (:
NOTE:Her spots do not need to be exact! only spot that NEEDS to stay is the heart on her left thigh!
Okay..lets learn a bit about her! She has a funloving personality, is caring..but can be very stubborn. Has a very charming innocent look to her.
