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. ---. Close-up shot of the interior of the cast-iron stove. Bright orange and yellow flames crackle around split logs of oak. Embers glow intensely at the bottom. The light from the fire flickers across the dark metal and the nearby wooden floorboards. The atmosphere is hot, energetic, and comforting against the cold rain outside.
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.
