## Prompt

```text
Create a cinematic photorealistic vertical portrait of {character_name}, a handsome young East Asian cowherd from the Tanabata legend, resting in a shaded bamboo grove beside exactly 1 black ox. He sits on dry straw and dirt with one leg stretched toward the camera and the other knee raised, leaning casually against a rustic weathered wall made of mottled gold, silver, and brown panels. He has {hair_style}, sharp calm eyes, smooth skin, and a serious gentle expression looking directly at the viewer. Dress him in a loose ancient Japanese/Chinese-inspired farmer robe: a faded blue-gray kimono-style top, wide off-white trousers tied at the calves, a muted reddish-brown sash at the waist, and simple straw sandals. Place a bamboo-handled farm rake or pitchfork on the ground to his right, partially leaning upright. The ox stands close behind his right shoulder, wearing a rope halter, with curved horns and a quiet watchful face. Use foreground bamboo leaves to partially frame and obscure the scene, especially along the left and bottom edges, with shallow depth of field and soft green blur. Lighting: {lighting}. Style: ultra-realistic live-action photography, high detail skin and fabric texture, natural earthy colors, cinematic composition, intimate low-angle 3/4 view, vertical 9:16 aspect ratio, no text, no watermark, no extra animals or people.
