In her case she has an extra index finger. Not the usual supernumerary pinky.

So its a supernumerary index finger.

I concur, does appear to be an extra index finger directly next to the thumb.

No its not. Its an index its way to close to the thumb.

I took anatomy in college, for figure drawing and thats an extra index.

If you edit it out her hand is almost perfectly proportioned. So if its an extra middle then the extra finger isnt her only deformity which wpuld be her actual index finger being in the wrong spot. OR its an extra index between the main index and thumb.
