I fell in love with her promo pics

oh my GOD I can't get her to stand for the life of me. I'm going to try hot glue sueding and/or wiring her and see if it helps.

Kielo lives on a farm with her grandparents. She loves animals and growing things, and is more comfortable outside, barefoot, running through the grass, than she is indoors, where she feels trapped. She often finishes her chores quickly and takes a simple lunch and a book to the meadow near the horse pasture, and she reads aloud to them until it's time to come in for evening chores and supper. She has a crush on her friend Harley, who also loves animals and visits the farm often (and who, unbeknownst to Kielo, has a crush on her as well).
