Strong rule: style --- Studio Ghibli art style, lush watercolor backgrounds, warm golden hour lighting, cozy cottagecore aesthetic, high detail, soft cinematic glow, 4K ---. A thick, heavily scarred wooden cutting board resting on a kitchen counter. A bright orange pumpkin, halved and being sliced into thick, uniform wedges. Extreme close-up on the blade of a heavy, carbon-steel chef's knife. Low angle, emphasizing the weight of the tool. Warm, directional lighting casts sharp, dramatic shadows from the knife blade. The mood is deeply satisfying, focused, and sensory. The character's hand firmly grips the knife handle, pushing down deliberately through the dense, bright orange flesh. Bold oranges, metallic silver, and dark wood grains.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Elara: A serene young woman in her mid-20s with fair porcelain skin, a gentle dusting of freckles, and long, wavy chestnut hair softly tied back. She wears a chunky, oversized cream-colored knit sweater over a vintage plaid flannel, paired with thick wool socks. Her expression is calm, thoughtful, and contented. Standing inside a rustic, dimly lit wooden cabin with a roaring stone fireplace. Warm golden hour lighting blending with the amber glow of the hearth, casting soft, cozy shadows. Studio Ghibli art style, high detail, lush watercolor textures, cozy cottagecore aesthetic, soft cinematic glow, 4K resolution.
