## Prompt

```text
Using REFERENCE_0 as the pose and composition base, transform the seated woman into a polished anime-style character portrait. Keep the face anonymized with a large soft rectangular blur block, but change the framing from a side-view café/table scene into a close-up front-facing bust portrait. Replace the original realistic indoor room, table, mug, book, and chair with a bright leafy indoor garden/window background. Restyle the character with {hair_color} short bob hair, and dress her in an ornate {outfit_style} with lace shoulder details, ribbon tie, decorative buttons, and structured paneling. Use crisp high-quality Japanese anime illustration style with clean line art, soft lighting, vivid greenery, shallow depth of field, and a vertical smartphone composition. Preserve the calm seated mood from the reference while making the final image look like a finished character illustration rather than a photo.
```
