Strong rule: style --- ghibli style ---. Extreme close-up shot of a massive, open stone palm with deep rocky fissures. A pair of delicate human hands carefully places a brightly glowing, translucent yellow sulfur crystal onto the rough basalt surface. The crystal casts a warm, golden illumination that catches the edges of the dark stone. The lighting is highly focused and dramatic, creating a reverent, sacred atmosphere. Colors are dominated by charcoal gray and vibrant, luminous amber.
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.
