Strong rule: style --- Ghibli-inspired 2D animation, cozy Himalayan mountain hut, soft morning light, warm wood tones, snowy landscape outside, high detail, 4k, nostalgic atmosphere. ---. A close-up, eye-level shot of a sharp, rustic kitchen knife smoothly slicing through soft, freshly boiled, peeled potatoes on a wooden chopping block. Gentle wisps of white steam rise from the warm, golden-yellow potatoes into the cool, dimly lit kitchen air. Warm firelight illuminates the steam and the soft, starchy texture of the potatoes. The mood is cozy, warm, and appetizing, with a color palette of warm yellows, earthy browns, and deep shadows.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Meera: A gentle Himalayan woman in her early 30s with warm, olive skin and deep, expressive brown eyes. Her long dark hair is tied back in a loose, practical braid. She wears a traditional 1980s woven wool shawl in muted earthy tones of rust and mustard over a simple cotton kurta. Her hands are weathered but graceful, showing years of care and daily chores. The background is a cozy, dimly lit traditional mountain kitchen with warm wood textures, copper pots, and soft golden morning light filtering through a frosty window. Rendered in a highly detailed, nostalgic Studio Ghibli 2D animation style with soft, painterly lighting and cozy atmospheric depth.
