Cinematic head-and-shoulders portrait, face close-up, sharp eyes in crisp focus, shallow depth of field, soft key light with gentle rim light, filmic colour grading. The character looks slightly past the camera with a natural, expressive gaze. Neutral, softly blurred background. No text, no labels, no watermarks, no other characters. IDENTITY LOCK: this must be the EXACT SAME person as in the reference image — identical face, hairstyle, skin tone, eye colour and distinguishing features. Also reproduce the EXACT rendering style, medium and realism level of the reference image: if the reference is a photograph, stay fully photographic and photorealistic — do NOT stylise, do NOT convert into anime, cartoon, illustration, comic or 3D render. Character description: and centered — Sofia Bellini, a Sicilian woman in her mid-thirties, 1987 Palermo. Oval face with high cheekbones, olive-tan skin, dark expressive almond eyes carrying quiet grief, full lips set in restrained tension. Thick dark-brown hair, shoulder-length, softly waved and parted to one side. Slender, poised build. She wears an elegant muted-amber silk blouse tucked into a high-waisted dark teal pencil skirt falling below the knee, a thin brass chain at her throat, small gold earrings, a plain wedding band. Low taupe leather heeled pumps. One hand half-hidden at her side, secretly clutching a small brass key. She stands in a dim closed café doorway, warm lamp behind her, wary and sorrowful, glancing back over her shoulder. Visual style: stylized 2D graphic-novel animation, cinematic neo-noir, letterboxed 9:16, hard chiaroscuro light with deep blacks, muted earthy teal-and-amber palette, film grain over flat fills, static camera with in-frame motion
