Strong rule: style --- ghibli style ---. Close-up on Elara holding her wooden plate of food, now lightly dusted with grey ash. Eye-level shot. The hazy lighting clears, returning to bright, crisp sunlight. The atmosphere is lighthearted and resilient. Elara smiles warmly, blowing a puff of air over the food to clear the ash, ready to take a bite. Natural, warm colors with dusty grey accents.
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.
