## Prompt

```text
Create a square-to-portrait 90s anime transformation portrait of {character_name} in a gritty urban night setting. Show a close-up bust portrait turned slightly over one shoulder, with a long slender neck, pale warm skin, heavy-lidded expressive eyes, full parted lips, and a cool melancholic gaze. Give her messy chin-length {hair_color} bob hair with wispy bangs and many loose flyaway strands, drawn with fine ink outlines and hand-painted cel shading. She wears a simple oversized {outfit}. Use authentic late-1980s/1990s anime aesthetics: muted unflattering colors, grainy film texture, soft airbrushed shadows, imperfect analog linework, dramatic eyelashes, angular nose bridge, slightly exaggerated lips, and subdued teal/green/orange color grading. Background: blurred Japanese city street at dusk or night with exactly 5 visible urban elements: a white car on the left, a crosswalk at the bottom, dark building silhouettes, rectangular shop signs above, and one glowing red circular traffic signal or sign on the right. Add a small rectangular inset reference-photo preview in the lower-right corner showing the same real-life woman in a modern photographic style, bordered subtly, occupying about one-sixth of the image. Preserve the subject’s facial structure and hairstyle while adapting everything else to nostalgic 90s anime. No extra text, no watermark, no modern glossy digital look.
```
