## Prompt

```text
A woman with a mysterious Gothic Ethereal appearance.

Face: Pale skin with subtle freckles clearly visible across the nose and cheeks. Her expression is calm yet holds sorrow (melancholic).

Hair: Thick, jet-black hair that is tousled and blown by strong wind. Strands of hair cover parts of her face and eyes, creating a dramatic and wild impression.

Eyes & Lips: Deep, wistful gaze. Her lips are a muted dark red shade, looking natural yet bold.

Clothing & Style
Attire: Wearing a black Victorian/Gothic style gown with a ruffled high-neck. The fabric texture appears heavy and premium, like dark velvet or wool.

Aura: The overall style creates an impression of "Dark Magical" or a poetic modern sorceress.

Background & Atmosphere
Setting: Outdoors at night or very dark dusk. The background is a heavily blurred forest or trees (bokeh).

Weather Effects: Fine snowflakes or dust particles float in the air, adding a cold and quiet feel.

Lighting: Very low key lighting with high contrast. Light is only focused on the facial area, while other parts are submerged in deep shadow.

Visual Techniques
Color: Desaturated (almost monochromatic) color palette dominated by black, dark gray, and subtle cool skin tones.

Composition: Close-up shot (chest-up portrait) with sharp focus on hair and skin textures, while the background is kept extremely soft to make the subject stand out.

Art Style: Cinematic, poetic, and artistic, resembling a fantasy horror movie poster or dark academia novel cover.

Do not alter her face.
