Strong rule: style --- ghibli style ---. A medium close-up shot from a slight side angle of a young girl sitting on a porch. She has pulled her knees up to her chest and rests her chin on them comfortably. Her eyes are heavy and half-closed with sleepiness as she gazes out at an off-screen glowing light. The warm, red light from the distant volcano and golden lantern light beautifully illuminate her relaxed face. The mood is incredibly serene, sleepy, and deeply contented. Dominant colors are soft, warm reds, golds, and deep shadows.
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.
