How would you describe her facial expression?

How would you describe her facial expression?

I'm not sure how to properly describe her expression: I would say 'She is smiling softly with her eyes slightly squinted'. I'm also not sure if 'squinted' is the right word, I have read that 'squinted' means partially closing the eyelids, but when I search in google it mostly shows eye disorders pics. Thank you so much for your time!

I would say "slightly squinting her eyes" but your idea makes sense too

I don't know who this character is, but I'd say she actually looks kind of haughty and smug. To be honest, [it reminds me of this.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FSudez3WIAEwCk9?format=jpg&name=large)

Her eyes are slightly hooded above her gentle smile.

Generally squint is used a verb: to squint, to narrow your eyes. When used as a noun it can refer to a medical condition like you're seeing: "He has a squint" would generally mean his eyes are always like that.

My first instinct is to say "slightly wistful," but I don't think that's the right way to describe it. It's a complicated expression. On the one hand, she's smiling and saying that's she's glad, but the smile doesn't reach her eyes. Her eyes appear slightly sad to me. So it seems like a mixture of happiness and sadness. Anyway, I think "slightly squinted eyes" correctly describes her eyes.

"I have a fishhook in my eye, and I like it"

*She smiled warmly, one of those cute, small-mouthed smiles with the eyebrows raised and the sleepy, heavy-lidded eyes that seems to say "I wasn't happy until you showed up, but now I am."*

I'd say she looks amused. This is the last place I expected to see a Persona character. Lol

Stoned as hell.

A soft, relaxed smile, but with an undercurrent of "but if you fuck with me you are going to regret the day you were born." But that might be me misunderstanding smiles by East Asians, because smilws are generally more controlled 🙂 than western ones 😃

Inappropriately flirtatious. Probably because I tend to associate this kind of comic drawing with overly sexist stuff for guys who are big into their SE Asian cartoons.

Looking completely stoned.

She looks smug or condescending to me. This is pretty subjective though.

This is a very simplistic cartoon. The expression is not easy to read.

Amused, maybe smirking if it's condescending.

Her eyes curved in a smile.

“Her eyes narrow into a pleasant smile”
