Use a predominantly clean white or warm ivory background.

Behind the character, add sparse abstract painterly marks in a color derived from the character’s own palette.

These background marks should be extremely subtle:

* pale watercolor washes
* loose angular brush marks
* faint ink textures
* soft irregular splashes

Keep the background minimal. No detailed environment, room, landscape, architecture, or scenery.

ART STYLE

High-end anime / manga character illustration with:

* elegant clean linework
* refined facial rendering
* soft cel shading blended with painterly gradients
* delicate hair detailing
* tasteful ornamental detail
* restrained saturation
* subtle watercolor influence
* Japanese character-art sensibility
* polished light-novel / collectible-card illustration quality

The rendering should feel graceful and handcrafted rather than glossy 3D.

Maintain a balance between crisp line art and soft painterly texture.

LIGHTING

Use soft diffused studio-like lighting.

Favor:

* gentle highlights on the face and hair
* subtle shadows beneath the bangs, jaw, and clothing folds
* luminous eyes
* softly separated silhouette
* minimal harsh contrast

The face should remain the primary focal point.

COLOR

Base all major character colors directly on the supplied character sheet.

Use a subdued, harmonious presentation rather than oversaturating the image.

Allow the white negative space and pale background to occupy a large percentage of the composition, making the character’s colors stand out elegantly.

FINAL RESULT

The finished image should look like an elegant anime character portrait partially revealed through expressive white paint strokes, preserving the supplied character sheet with extremely high fidelity.

Prioritize, in this order:

1. exact character recognizability
2. facial accuracy
3. signature anatomy and accessories
4. outfit and markings
5. elegant over-the-shoulder pose
6. fragmented white brush-stroke composition
7. clean minimalist presentation

Do not add text, captions, logos, borders, signatures, or watermarks
