Strong rule: style --- ghibli style ---. Close-up, over-the-shoulder shot. Elara is focused intently on a cluster of bright, vivid yellow sulfur crystals protruding from a dark, porous rock wall. She holds a small, weathered metal tool, pressing it carefully against the base of a crystal. Harsh, direct sunlight illuminates the striking yellow hue and the rough texture of the surrounding stone. The atmosphere is focused and practical. The color palette is dominated by intense yellows and deep charcoal greys.
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.
