What do all the symbols below my energy bar mean?

[sePL80]

Hello,
I am about 20 hours into the game and I feel like I only scratched the surface (addicted as I am to it)

Sometimes i have a pink face below my energy bar,
right now I have someting undefinable with white and green color... My guess is that all these are indicators for things that are affecting me. (status effects?)
Problem is: There is no explanation for them in the manual that came with the game on steam.
And when I watch my char-stats in menu I also get no information about any effect that might be influencing me.
Is there maybe a webpage somewhere that lists all of the symbols? (So that I can actually find out what they are meant to indicate?)
Thanks in advance, hope my question is understandable,

Mostly it's all your rings' effects. read your rings' descriptions

"Purple Face" is probably the Blue Tearstone Ring (as you can't have the Red one just now) and the White/Green-ish Thing may be the Grass Crest Shield, this boosts your Stamina Regeneration by 50%

Thanks for all the good and quick help.
