We are all inherently exceptional and undeniably gorgeous from birth. The fact that no two people are precisely alike is one of the most amazing aspects about being human, and as time goes on, we as a species are getting much better at embracing and appreciating our diversity.

Asher and Winry, Nicole Lucas Hallson’s two lovely children, are being raised by their mother. Her larger goal is to disprove the notion that our flaws make us flawless and to reinforce the idea that her daughter, who was born with a rare birthmark, is beautiful in her own right.

Congenital melanocytic nevi, or CMN, is an incredibly unusual birthmark that little Winry Hall was born with, according to Good Morning America. Consequently, Winry’s uncommon birthmark, which spans a quarter of her face, makes her, at 13 months old, look different from the kids in her immediate vicinity.

After the birth in February 2021, Nicole, a teacher, was quite worried and taken aback when the nurses gave Winry to her.

She didn’t anticipate her daughter having a skin disease because her pregnancy was fairly normal. “I had the good fortune to have a typical pregnancy! I experienced morning sickness from around weeks 8 through 14, but as soon as that subsided, I felt fantastic until the last month, when fatigue set in,” she says on her blog.

Nicole believes that the medical staff and nurses were the ones who initially noticed the CMN. However, their only words were congratulations and applause for such a quick and easy birth.
