Strong rule: style --- ghibli style ---. Close-up shot, slightly low angle, focusing on a young girl's face as she looks up at the sky with wide, expressive eyes full of childlike wonder. Soft, glowing white flakes of volcanic ash gently rest on her dark hair and eyelashes. The lighting is soft and ethereal, illuminated by the twilight sky and the faint ambient glow of the falling ash. The mood is purely magical, innocent, and spellbinding, with a color palette of soft purples and whites.
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.
