Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Elara: Strong rule: style --- Studio Ghibli ---. A gentle woman in her late 60s with soft, silver-white hair tied in a loose bun and kind, crinkling eyes behind round spectacles. She wears a floral-patterned apron over a soft moss-green linen dress. Her expression is one of serene maternal warmth. She is captured in a sun-drenched, rustic kitchen filled with dried herbs and copper pots. The art style is Ghibli-inspired with lush, hand-painted textures, soft watercolor gradients, and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. She radiates a sense of peace and domestic comfort, her hands dusted with a light coating of flour.
