The uncanny valley is a psychological phenomenon where something looks almost human… but not quite—and that "not quite" feeling triggers discomfort or creepiness.

Coined by Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori in 1970, it's often visualized as a graph:

As a figure becomes more human-like, empathy increases…

Until it becomes too close but not perfect → the empathy drops dramatically → the uncanny valley.

Once it's indistinguishably human, empathy rises again.

Lenore is a young girl born with an unusually large green hand. At school, other children might have green eyes or distinctive birthmarks, and even a teacher occasionally wears green nail polish—but no one else has a big green hand.Fortunately, it's her left hand, and she manages most tasks with her right, allowing her to conceal the green hand beneath a wool scarf gifted by her Aunt Nancy. When questioned about the perpetually wrapped hand, Lenore consistently replies, "My knuckles are cold," regardless of the season or setting. She prefers being perceived as slightly odd over being labeled a monster
