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.
