Strong rule: style --- ghibli style ---. A natural geothermal steam vent in a rocky, black basalt landscape. Medium shot, eye-level. Harsh, dramatic morning light cuts through thick, billowing clouds of white steam. The mood is practical and rugged. Elara uses a thick, woven cloth to carefully lift a heavy metal kettle off the hissing fissure, her face focused through the vapor. Monochromatic greys and blacks with stark white steam.
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.
