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 of a soot-stained metal kettle where spiced milk tea is aggressively bubbling and frothing, rising dangerously close to the brim. A woman's hand, holding a cloth, quickly grips the handle to lift the pot slightly off the fiery clay stove. The lighting is dramatic firelight, emphasizing the rolling bubbles and the rising steam. The atmosphere is urgent but expertly controlled, warm, and lively. Dominant colors are frothy caramel, black soot, and fiery orange.
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.
