Strong rule: style --- ghibli style ---. Medium close-up shot, high angle. Elara crouches beside a natural, whistling steam vent in the dark volcanic rock. She is carefully placing a heavy, soot-stained metal kettle directly over the hissing fissure. Thick, white geothermal steam billows up around her hands. The lighting is diffused by the steam, creating a soft, mystical atmosphere within the rugged, dark landscape.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Elara: A young girl around 10 years old with expressive, large hazel eyes and messy, chin-length dark brown hair tied with a faded red ribbon. She wears a soot-stained, oversized linen tunic, thick leather gloves, and sturdy boots. Her face has smudges of ash and a warm, sun-kissed complexion. She radiates a quiet, gentle resilience and deep curiosity. The background features lush, oversized prehistoric ferns and glowing amber volcanic rocks. Studio Ghibli anime style, hand-drawn traditional animation aesthetic, soft cinematic lighting, vibrant earthy color palette, magical and nostalgic atmosphere.
