STYLE: exactly the soft watercolor-gouache illustration style of the small hug picture in the bottom-right corner of the FIRST reference image: soft translucent washes, gentle painted edges, muted warm palette, visible paper-like brush texture, soft diffused light, simple rounded shapes, tender storybook feeling. Not glossy 3D, not sharp lines. Character model sheet on a plain warm paper-cream background, no text, no labels, no numbers: MAY, a 7-year-old girl, the same girl as the SECOND reference image: round face, big round eyes, full set of teeth, dark hair in two buns on top with rust hair ties (right bun looser), bright yellow raincoat open over a teal-and-cream striped shirt, red shorts, yellow rubber boots with a half-peeled duck sticker, round overstuffed backpack. Three full-body views on one ground line: front, three-quarter (on tiptoe pointing with her whole arm and open palm), side. Top-right: three small head close-ups - big full-toothed grin, stubborn pout, wonder with open eyes. Bottom-right: a small vignette of the plush robot AI from the first reference image hugging her LEG - the robot is only as tall as her KNEE, its short arms barely reach around her shin, she smiles down at it.
