Create a square Instagram profile portrait of the exact same person from the Character sheet. Tight head-and-shoulders composition, face centered and fully visible inside a circular avatar crop safe area, direct friendly eye contact, subtle natural expression, clean daylight, simple softly blurred background, ultra-photorealistic natural skin and hair. Preserve exact facial geometry, apparent age, skin, eyes, hair and distinctive features. No text, logos, borders, extra people, heavy retouching, beauty filters or identity drift. REFERENCE PRIORITY: reference image 1 is the authoritative Character sheet. Use its close-up portrait panels to preserve identity. Any additional references only clarify that same identity. The direction prompt below may control mood, outfit, light and background, but must never change face, body, apparent age, gender or ethnicity.
