There’s a model of a Neanderthal I’ve seen that has red hair and light eyes. She looks a lot like our daughter. I’ve read that the “ginger” gene and maybe allergies come from Neanderthals.

Because of the way the larynx is positioned in the Neanderthal throat, they had high voices and ‘sang soprano’ and may have ‘sung,’ not in words, which would have been difficult, but in tones ... places with naturally resonating harmonics would have been important to them, if the preceding is true, as such properties amplify and modulate tones.

I would beware of modern Neanderthal reconstructions. It's a natural human tendency to be anthropomorphic, that is to attribute human characteristics to other animals. Just a quick look at the size and position of the eye sockets in a Neanderthal skull should alert you to the fact that their appearance was nothing like ours. One researcher has concluded that from the extraordinarily large size of their eyes that Neanderthals were probably nocturnal, and has from that assumed that they likely had a slit iris, as most nocturnal animals do. As well there is no reason to believe that they lost their body hair as we did, or to assume a Caucasian skin pigmentation. The Neanderthal model he came up with is a bit of a shocker:

I think the girl you are talking about appears at this link several times, the first time on about line 19.

I suspect my late husband had a relatively high percent of Neanderthal. Can DNA be obtained from Cremains (ashes)? He was a pale blue-eyed redhead, Scottish/Viking ancestry with some Cree Indian. Very strong and muscular, long torso, short legs, very hairy including one shoulder, some translucent crystaline teeth; receding chin (he wore a beard to conceal), slight brow ridges, hard head, mans growth at 13, quick temper, and warrior disposition. I guess if I tested our two children and myself they could pin down the percentage, couldn’t they? He had hives when young and I have respiratory allergies. I also have rather large molars, and that ridge behind 2 of my upper incisors, and long roots, also stronger than most women.
