The Avatar Cast — final

Eight young card-room characters, painterly emerald & gold, built to make UNO & Spades Plus avatars look like clip-art. All clean (eyes, foreheads, no AI tells), modest, and culturally correct for Sri Lanka & Bengal. Each shown full-size and as the framed in-game chip. 148 KB total — featherweight for the app.

Player avatars — mapped to the existing cosmetic tiers

These five back the avatars players equip & unlock (prestige rises with styling + emerald/gold frame, not age).

AI-opponent faces

All eight (the five above + these three) power the bot opponents — replacing the old procedural SVG faces. Each AI is dealt a consistent portrait by name, so "Maya" always wears the same face.
