Art style: Pixar-like 3D.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright, figure centered with a grey provincial-town street filling the sides. Maria is a lively young woman reporter in her mid-twenties, fair warm skin, round friendly face with bright hazel eyes, freckles across the nose, and an energetic open smile. Her chestnut-brown hair is tied in a bouncy high ponytail with a few loose strands. Slim athletic build, medium height, animated confident posture — one hand on hip, the other holding a chunky black DSLR photo camera on a strap around her neck. She wears a mustard-yellow denim jacket over a white tee, rolled dark jeans, a small press lanyard, and comfy white sneakers. Alert curious expression, leaning slightly forward as if spotting a story, ready to snap a photo.
