Character reference card, full-length figure centered on a plain white seamless background, neutral stance facing camera, even soft studio light, clean readable silhouette, textured skin and fabric (not airbrushed). Style: Cinematic dark fairytale: painterly realism, candlelight and firelight against cold blue snow, fog, old wood and stone, rich textures, shallow depth of field, 35mm film grain, the same faces and costumes in every scene.. CHARACTER Elara: A woman in her late 50s with salt-and-pepper hair tied in a practical knot. Her skin is sun-creased and weathered, her eyes a sharp but kind hazel. She wears a thick, hand-knitted navy wool shawl over a faded linen dress and heavy leather boots. Her hands are calloused and stained with lantern oil. She is often seen in the warm, amber glow of the lighthouse interior, surrounded by old nautical charts and glowing candles. Her movements are deliberate and weary, yet she carries an air of quiet, fierce protection.. Everyone depicted is an adult. No text, no watermark.
