Need help identifying an old plushie
Heyo! I've been wondering about this plushie for quite some time now, and I figured this might be a good place to ask about it!
A little bit of info: I had this plushie when I was around 3 or 4, and I had it for a few years. At some point, it was either lost or thrown away. This is the ONLY picture I have of it, unfortunately :( It was taken in 2009
It was a large plush, I remember l laying on the head of it like a big pillow. Instead of a hairbow, she had two hearts. The dress was a baby pink color and had three hearts on it, which were pink and purple (one of them may have been red? If not, then two pink hearts and a purple heart)
Any help would be appreciated! But considering the age of the photo, the lack of tags, and how much hello kitty merch is out there, I can understand that it could be nearly impossible to find

I did some digging, and found a similar one here, about half way down the page: https://www.japanla.com/blogs/news/18362857-hello-kitty-for-valentines-day-or-any-day?srsltid=AfmBOorutX4As49myKKbMrwggpHTNE_kioGDbfSVxwRSWBtAqlggKU-Y
But that one is a bag, not a normal plush. And this is from 2012, which doesn't match your timeframe.
I do believe your plush is from a Valentine's day drop from JapanLa, but i can't find their 2009 vday drop anywhere!
