Art style: Studio Ghibli. Under the lush canopy of a garden, a close-up shot focuses on a delicate, speckled monarch butterfly resting on a bright orange zinnia flower. Leo and Maya’s faces are partially visible in the soft-focus background, looking at the insect with wide eyes. The lighting is soft and ethereal, with golden light catching the dust motes in the air. The mood is one of discovery and wonder. The colors are rich oranges, deep teals, and soft golds. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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): - Leo: A seven-year-old boy with a gentle and thoughtful expression. He has curly, dark brown hair that catches the light and deep, warm brown eyes. Distinct, smooth vitiligo patches of lighter skin are visible around his left eye and across the knuckles of both hands. He wears a soft, oversized navy blue hoodie and simple denim jeans. His posture is initially shy and guarded but becomes upright and confident. He has a slender build and a kind, youthful energy. The background is a soft-focus park with hints of green foliage and golden sunlight. - Maya: A seven-year-old girl with a bright, radiant, and energetic presence. She has long, dark mahogany skin and sparkling hazel eyes that convey empathy. Her hair is styled in long, neat braids adorned with vibrant yellow and sky-blue beads. She wears a cheerful, bright yellow cotton sundress featuring small white floral patterns. She radiates warmth, inclusivity, and joy. Her expression is always welcoming and curious. The background is a sunlit garden with colorful flowers and soft, blurred greenery, creating a warm and happy atmosphere.
