Strong rule: style --- ghibli style ---. A rocky outdoor patio covered in loose grey ash. Medium shot, low angle. Sunlight is suddenly obscured by a swirling cloud of grey dust, creating a hazy, diffused lighting effect. The mood is chaotic but routine. Elara instinctively raises her arm to shield her face, squinting her eyes against the sudden flurry of ash. Muted greys and dusty browns.
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.
