Strong rule: style --- Ghibli-style 2D animation, autumn forest library, warm amber lighting, soft dust motes in sunbeams, rich orange and gold color palette, cozy aesthetic, 4K. ---. A macro shot inside a clear glass teapot. Dark, twisted tea leaves are suspended in swirling, turbulent hot water. The water is transitioning from clear to a rich, translucent amber. Soft, diffused light from a nearby window illuminates the bubbles and the texture of the leaves in a serene, artistic composition.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Elara: A young woman in her early 20s with a gentle, oval face, large expressive hazel eyes, and bobbed chestnut hair tucked behind her ears. She wears a chunky cream-colored turtleneck sweater under a forest green pinafore dress. Her expression is one of peaceful wonder. She is seen inside a cozy, dimly lit library carved into a massive tree root, surrounded by thousands of ancient books. The lighting is warm and amber, provided by flickering candles and a soft glow from a nearby hearth. Ghibli-inspired 2D animation style with rich textures and soft, painterly backgrounds. Overall vibe is studious and serene.
