Strong rule: style --- ghibli style ---. A medium shot from a slightly low angle showing a young girl sitting on the edge of a rustic, illuminated wooden porch. Her legs dangle casually over the side. She is looking out thoughtfully into the dark, ash-dusted garden. The warm light from the lanterns above casts soft, golden highlights on her hair and shoulders. The background is a dark, serene night. The mood is deeply reflective, peaceful, and quietly exhausted. Dominant colors are warm lantern golds and deep, shadowy 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.
