A little about myself: I’m 6 years old little girl, living in the Fforestfach area of Swansea.

I often enjoy imaginative play and sometimes like to retreat into my own little world where I feel happy and calm.
I have a limited danger awareness, so I need an adult to keep me safe.

I love going to soft play, listening to music, and spending time at the park.
I really enjoy swimming and anything to do with water, including water parks like Blackpill.
