## Prompt

```text
Reference Use:
One full-body reference image attached to this instruction. Supports both real photos and illustrations.

Text Content:
Using the attached reference image as the sole subject reference, create a simplified character sheet in 1:1 square format for both social sharing and video reference. The sheet should be visually appealing as a standalone image, allowing for the verification of the subject's face, hair, age, body type, uniform, and color scheme. Maintain the subject as the same person across all views without adding different individuals. Do not create a storyboard.

[Reference Image Application Scope]
If the reference is a real photo, convert it into a high-quality theatrical anime style while maintaining the subject's features. If the reference is an illustration, finish it in a high-quality theatrical anime style. Inherit facial features, eye shape, contours, bangs, hairstyle, hair color, perceived age, skin texture, body type, head-to-body ratio, and overall proportions. Maintain the hair state (tied/loose), tie position, parting, length, and hair tufts around the face exactly as in the reference. Do not inherit the costume, shoes, accessories, or background from the reference image. Completely change the attire to the uniform specified in this instruction.

[Body Type Consistency]
Maintain the reference image's proportions, head size, neck length, shoulder width, torso length, waist position/width, arm/leg length, knee position, and overall silhouette. Limit the anime conversion to line, color, shading, and texture; do not redesign the skeletal structure or body dimensions. Do not perform facial slimming, leg lengthening, or any anatomical exaggerations.
Maintain consistent body volume across 01 FRONT, 02 SIDE, 03 BACK, and 04 SPECIAL LOOK. Use standard, natural perspective and eye-level height. Avoid wide-angle distortion or extreme camera angles.

[Expression]
High-quality theatrical anime style. Clean and polished finish. Avoid cheap TV anime styles, generic NPC looks, or simple photo filters.

[Specified Outfit]
Regardless of the reference outfit, change to {uniform} with dark knee-high socks and {shoes}.

[Fixed Layout]
Two-tier structure: Top 58%, Bottom 42%. Background is plain white to very light grey. Provide sufficient margins.

Top Tier (58%):
01 FRONT (22%): Full-body front view.
02 SIDE (22%): Accurate 90-degree side view.
03 BACK (22%): Full-body back view.
04 SPECIAL LOOK (34%): Larger 3/4 view with a natural, charming pose.

Bottom Tier (42%):
05 FACE (62%): Three facial views (Front, 3/4, Side) at the same size and camera distance.
06 DESIGN GUIDE (38%): Color palette and detail focus (shirt collar/ribbon, bangs, sneakers).

[Headings]
Use only short English headings: 01 FRONT, 02 SIDE, 03 BACK, 04 SPECIAL LOOK, 05 FACE, 06 DESIGN GUIDE, COLOR PALETTE, DETAIL FOCUS.
```
