### Important Rive Requirement

Please build the character **Rive-ready and animation-ready**, with the character properly separated into editable/movable components so that the different body parts, facial features, eyes, mouth, hands, arms, etc. can be animated independently.

The final character should be designed with **Rive animation, state-based interactions, lip-sync, facial expressions, and future programmatic control** in mind.

The goal is to have a cute, expressive AI language-learning companion that feels alive and can interact with the user rather than being just a static mascot.
