Art style: Tim Burton-inspired.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered — Leya, a curious, brave young girl around nine years old, slender and slightly gangly with long thin limbs. She has a pale, moon-round face with enormous dark wide-set eyes full of wonder, faint shadows beneath them, a tiny upturned nose and a small inquisitive smile. Her black hair falls in two long uneven braids tied with frayed ribbon. She wears a buttoned high-collared dark dress with a striped pinafore, patched knee-high socks and scuffed little lace-up ankle shoes. In her cupped hands she holds a single glimmering firefly she studies closely. She stands on a twisting cobblestone path under a spindly leafless tree, a deep indigo twilight sky scattered with faint early stars behind her.
