## Prompt

```text
Create a polished anime-style full-body illustration of a cheerful young elf travel merchant girl in a lantern-lit old East Asian shopping street at night. The character is {character_name}: a slim teenage-looking girl with pointed elf ears, bright green eyes, rosy cheeks, and very long flowing {hair_color} hair tied into exactly two high twin ponytails with jade-green ornamental hair clasps. She smiles warmly while walking toward the viewer, one hand holding the strap of a large dark shoulder bag. Her outfit is an ornate fantasy Chinese-inspired merchant costume in {outfit_colors}: a sleeveless pale jade high-collar qipao-style top with gold frog closures, a wide dark corset belt, a layered burgundy ankle-length skirt with gold embroidered phoenix and cloud motifs, an ivory ruffled underskirt, and exactly two translucent oversized off-shoulder ivory sleeves with gold embroidery billowing in the wind. Add exactly two long tassel ornaments hanging from the belt, multiple jade coin charms and brass rings around the waist, dangling earrings, black ankle-strap heels, and a black-brown merchant satchel decorated with small tassels. The skirt and hair should swirl dynamically as if caught by a light breeze. Background: a cinematic wet stone-paved street after rain, warm reflections on the pavement, dense wooden storefronts on both sides, glowing red paper lanterns, and vertical shop signs with Chinese/Japanese-style calligraphy; include a prominent left vertical sign reading {left_shop_sign_text} and a prominent right vertical sign reading {right_shop_sign_text}. Use a deep starry night sky above the narrow street, warm orange lantern light mixed with cool blue shadows, high detail, elegant linework, soft painterly rendering, rich fabric texture, ornate gold embroidery, shallow depth of field, cinematic composition, 2:3 vertical canvas, no watermark, no modern objects, no extra characters.
