Strong rule: style --- ghibli style ---. A wide shot of a rustic wooden porch now beautifully illuminated by several glowing paper lanterns hanging from the eaves. A young girl is carefully hanging the final lit lantern. The warm, golden light spills across the ash-covered wooden floorboards and out into the dark garden. The lighting is deeply cozy and inviting, contrasting sharply with the cold, dark, starlit night surrounding the home. The atmosphere is immensely peaceful, safe, and sanctuary-like. Colors are rich ambers, golds, and deep night 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.
