# llimphi-widget-avatar Identity circle with an initial. Generates a **deterministic** avatar from a name: the background colour comes from a hash of the name, mapped onto a limited palette of 8 tones (so two different users don't end up with colours that are easy to confuse). The initial is the first letter of the name (uppercased), painted centred in warm white. Useful for chats (suilad), authorship in pluma, presence in collaborative tools. A single function — no state, no animation, no configurable palette (consistency matters more than personalization here). --- Part of **llimphi** — see [llimphi](../../README.md).
