## Prompt

```text
Create a "{chart_title}" based on the attached original character image, horizontal {ratio}, {background_color}, professional visual data board layout. The primary goal is to make all panels clearly recognizable as the exact same character at a glance, rather than multiple similar individuals.

Treat the character's identity in the reference image as an unchangeable hard constraint. Strictly lock:

- Face width-to-height ratio, cheekbones, cheeks, jawline, and chin
- Eye contours, distance between eyes, eyelid structure, and gaze temperament
- Eyebrow arch, thickness, color, and eyebrow-to-eye distance
- Bridge of the nose, tip, nostrils, and side profile nose shape
- Upper/lower lip thickness, lip peak, corners, and natural lip color
- Skin tone, pores, flush, and natural skin texture
- Hairline, parting, bangs, side hair, back hair length, and hair strand flow
- Age impression, skeletal frame, shoulder width, limb length, and overall body type
- Original clothing, original art style, light texture, and overall atmosphere

Use large panels in the center to display:

- Full body front
- Full body side
- Full body back
- Face front
- Left profile
- Right profile
- Three-quarter left
- Three-quarter right
- Back of the head

Maintain perfectly consistent skull structure, relative position of facial features, hair volume, and body proportions for every angle. The profile must accurately continue the bridge of the nose, lips, chin, and forehead structure from the front; generating different character-style profiles is prohibited.

Configure a small expression matrix on the right:

- Normal
- Smile
- Serious
- Surprised
- Shy
- Thinking
- Troubled
- Slightly sad
- Calm

Maintain the same pupils, base eye size, nose shape, lip shape, and face shape. Smiles should be natural and restrained, not changing the character's age or temperament.

Configure fine identity anchors at the bottom:

- Left eye / Right eye / Eyebrows
- Nose (front/side) / Lips / Ears
- Jawline contour / Skin texture
- Bangs / side hair / back hair structure / Hair end flow
- Hands

Add 5-7 accurate color samples on the left: hair, eyes, skin, lips, clothing, shadow, and tone color. Add minimalist "Fix Points": face shape fixed, eye area fixed, nose shape fixed, lips fixed, bangs fixed, body type fixed, clothing unified, same character priority.

Background clean, soft uniform lighting, no cinematic lighting, strong depth of field, or decorative elements. Realistic characters retain natural pores, fine hair, and slight skin tone variations; non-realistic characters strictly maintain the original image's lines, color blocks, shadows, and materials without unauthorized style conversion.

All labels use clear simplified Chinese, moderate font size, not overlapping characters. If space is insufficient, prioritize identity anchors and main angles, reduce duplicate panels, and do not force a full layout by shrinking text or sacrificing character consistency.
```
