Strong rule: style --- ghibli style ---. Medium close-up of Elara examining the lower half of the ancient mural, which is completely obscured by a thick, heavy layer of dark black soot. She reaches into her small leather satchel and pulls out a folded, clean piece of pale cloth. The lighting remains warm and focused from the torchlight, highlighting the contrast between the revealed upper painting and the hidden, blackened lower section. The mood is curious and determined, with a palette dominated by warm firelight and deep, textured 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.
