Art style: Studio Ghibli. Over-the-shoulder shot from behind Elara and Mochi, looking out the window at a lush, foggy herb garden. Lavender, rosemary, and mint are visible through the mist, weighted down by rain. Elara has her hand resting on the window frame next to the cat. Cool green and grey palette. Serene atmosphere. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image in the following art style: Studio Ghibli hand-painted 2D anime (Hayao Miyazaki look) — lush hand-painted backgrounds, soft watercolour-and-gouache textures, gentle pastel palette, warm natural daylight, clean confident line work, cel-shaded characters with simple expressive features. CRITICAL: EVERY element — characters, foliage, trees, animals, sky and the entire environment — must be rendered in this single consistent hand-painted Ghibli idiom. Do NOT mix in photorealism or 3D CGI; keep one cohesive 2D painted look across the whole frame. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Elara: A young woman in her early 20s with a round, friendly face, rosy cheeks, and large, expressive hazel eyes. Her chestnut hair is tied in two loose, messy braids with a few stray strands framing her face. She wears a simple cream-colored linen blouse under a moss-green pinafore dress with deep pockets. A handmade ceramic pendant hangs from her neck. She exudes a calm, nurturing energy. The setting is a cozy, cluttered cottage interior with soft morning light filtering through rain-streaked windows, surrounded by dried herbs and wooden furniture. - Mochi: A large, exceptionally fluffy ginger tabby cat with bright emerald-green eyes and a thick, plume-like tail. His fur is a vibrant orange with subtle cream stripes and a white patch on his chest. He has a curious and slightly mischievous expression, with long white whiskers. He is seen lounging on a patchwork quilt or padding softly across wooden floorboards. The lighting is soft and diffused, highlighting the texture of his fur against the rustic, warm tones of a forest cottage.
