This figure was one of my first own designs. It can quickly be folded in a few steps from a square sheet of paper.
It contains some folds without reference points.
A paper of size 10 x 10 cm is best suited.
You can explore various ideas, like making a hat (right image), long hair (left image), or whatever you come up with.
Step-by-step instructions with diagrams and explanations are below.
If a step seems confusing at first sight, it may help if you pre-crease the instructed folds first.
Also, note that the models won't remain flat after steps 6 and 9.
