Strong rule: style --- Studio Ghibli art style, lush watercolor backgrounds, warm golden hour lighting, cozy cottagecore aesthetic, high detail, soft cinematic glow, 4K ---. A close-up, slightly high-angle shot of a flour-dusted, thick wooden cutting board. Elara's hands firmly press a vintage, silver metal cookie cutter shaped like a pine tree into a sheet of dark, rich brown spiced gingerbread dough. Beside it, a perfectly cut star shape has already been formed. Warm, directional kitchen light highlights the glossy, sticky texture of the dough and the metallic gleam of the cutters. The atmosphere is traditional, busy, and deeply cozy.
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.
