1. Create the HTML structure as follows:

<queen-liz id="queen">
  <queen-head>
    <div class="hair"></div>
    <div class="earrings"></div>

    <ul class="hat">
      <li class="top"><i></i></li>
      <li class="feather"></li>
      <li class="feather"></li>
      <li class="brim"></li>
    </ul>

    <ul class="face">
      <li class="eye"><i></i></li>
      <li class="eye"><i></i></li>
      <li class="nose"></li>
      <li class="mouth"></li>
    </ul>
  </queen-head>

  <queen-body>
    <div class="neck"></div>
    <div class="button"></div>
    <div class="crest"><i></i></div>
  </queen-body>

</queen-liz>

<details class="ref">

  <div class="ref-bg">
