Strong rule: style --- ghibli style ---. Close-up, low angle. Elara holds a small, jagged yellow crystal up between her thumb and forefinger, directly against the bright sun. The sunlight passes through the translucent stone, making it glow with a brilliant, warm golden inner light. Her face is softly illuminated by the refracted glow, showing a look of quiet admiration. The mood is intimate and appreciative. The color palette revolves around radiant golds, bright yellows, and the soft blue sky.
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.
