## Prompt

```text
Create a dark cinematic horror close-up of {character_name} staring directly into the camera inside a dim cathedral or crypt. The subject is centered and symmetrical, an elderly pale woman with gaunt features, cracked dry skin, deep shadowed eye sockets, and glowing red eyes with small eerie reflections. She wears a tall black rectangular headdress rising out of frame and an off-white wrapped hood or veil around her head and shoulders, with heavy folds of fabric framing her face. Place three visible candle flames: one large blurred flame in the extreme foreground at the bottom center partially obscuring her chin, and two smaller blurred flames behind her on the left and right at eye height, creating a ritualistic triangular composition. Use {lighting_style}, shallow depth of field, strong background blur, heavy film grain, muted brown-black shadows, and a tense occult atmosphere. Frame as a widescreen 16:9 movie still, face centered, intimate and unsettling, photorealistic, with anamorphic cinematic softness, no text, no watermark.
```
