Strong rule: style --- ghibli style ---. Extreme close-up of Elara's face, completely serene and peaceful, her eyes closed as if listening to a distant, rhythmic heartbeat. The background is completely out of focus, showing only blurred dark volcanic rocks. Soft, diffused natural light highlights the gentle contours of her face, with a subtle golden rim light. The mood is deeply meditative and calming, with a color palette of soft skin tones contrasting against deep, cool greys and blacks.
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.
