Strong rule: style --- ghibli style ---. Close-up shot of the ancient mural on the rough stone wall. The faded pigments depict massive, glowing, benevolent beings made of fire gently holding hands with tiny, simple human figures. Elara's hand enters the frame, her fingers gently and reverently tracing the faded ochre and red lines of the painting. The lighting is warm and intimate, provided by the nearby torch. The mood is tender and profoundly historical, with a color palette of faded earthy reds, warm oranges, and dark stone 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.
