this is a facial expression that says to me "UGH NO ONE has asked what my secret is to getting my hair so naturally lustrous! WHAT is even the POINT of botanivorism if no one ASKS about it..."

Keep in mind this is stuff from when I was about 12 and really into herb lore, so it's... vague. And not on the internet.
