Strong rule: style --- ghibli style ---. A medium shot at eye level showing a young girl standing on a rustic wooden porch. She is reaching up to unhook a delicate, unlit paper lantern hanging from the dark, wooden eaves of the roof. The porch is lightly dusted with white ash. The lighting is dim, relying on the ambient starlight and the faint, distant glow of the volcano. The mood is quiet, domestic, and serene. The color palette features rich, dark wood tones, pale ash, and deep night-sky blues.
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.
