## Prompt

```text
Create a realistic close-up emotional portrait of {character_description}. Use a vertical 9:16 composition, extremely tight crop: only the right half of her face is sharp and visible, with one expressive brown eye centered slightly right of frame, part of her nose and a gentle smiling mouth near the lower right edge. Her hand is held very close to the camera in the foreground, palm facing outward and fingers spread, forming a large soft blurred frame that covers most of the left side and lower edge of the image; the hand must be heavily out of focus from shallow depth of field. Keep the camera angle intimate and slightly above eye level, as if the viewer is very close to her. The mood is {emotion}, conveyed only through her eye, relaxed cheek, and delicate mouth expression, not exaggerated. Lighting is soft, natural, and cinematic, with warm beige shadows, gentle highlights in the eye, realistic pores, fine lashes, and no plastic smoothing. Hair should be dark, slightly tousled, with individual strands crossing her forehead and cheek. Background is abstract and blurred, neutral brown-gray. Add small elegant editorial text on the upper left: large widely spaced serif word {headline_text}, with a tiny thin subtitle beneath reading {subtitle_text}. Minimal magazine-cover aesthetic, muted colors, realistic photography, shallow depth of field, 85mm portrait lens look, no watermark, no extra people, no distorted fingers, no uncanny eyes.
