Character reference sheet: three views of the SAME woman on a plain neutral grey seamless studio background, 16:9. Photorealistic, natural soft daylight, shot on 85mm lens, authentic skin texture. Three angles side by side — front view, three-quarter view, and profile — identical face, hair, scarf and clothing in all three.
Subject: a vivid, memorable Russian village herbalist, about 60 years old, striking and characterful. High cheekbones, warm weathered sun-kissed skin with fine laugh lines and crow's-feet near the eyes, a few freckles, a small beauty mark on one cheek. Bright, alert pale grey-green eyes with a kind, intelligent, knowing gaze. A gentle, genuine, warm half-smile. Thick silver-grey hair in a long side braid with a few loose strands. She wears a richly patterned folk headscarf (deep red and warm ochre floral print) tied back from her face, a simple natural unbleached linen blouse, small amber-and-silver drop earrings. Minimal to no makeup, authentic, trustworthy, grandmotherly yet energetic look.
Even soft studio lighting, sharp focus on the face, no text, no captions, no watermark, no props, neutral grey backdrop only.
