## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create a highly detailed dark fantasy anime key visual of {character_name} leading a supernatural Japanese night parade inspired by Hyakki Yagyo.

Canvas: Vertical 9:16 poster composition, dense full-frame illustration, no empty space, cinematic low-key lighting, muted parchment beige highlights against deep black, crimson, and dark teal shadows.

Main subject: One central young anime woman in the foreground, waist-up to upper thighs visible, pale skin, {hair_color} hair in twin tails with black-and-red hair ornaments, red eyes, calm slightly melancholic expression, head tilted gently toward the viewer. She wears a black off-shoulder gothic kimono dress with red cords, gold occult embroidery, skull motifs, layered sashes, tassels, thigh straps, and one exposed shoulder. She holds one large opened folding fan in her left hand, patterned in black, red, and gold with tiny demon-mask and floral details; her right hand lightly lifts a strand of hair or ribbon near her shoulder.

Foreground props: Include exactly 3 prominent handheld/nearby objects: 1 ornate folding fan, 1 glowing skull lantern hanging low at the lower left with warm amber light, and 1 red vertical wooden signboard at the lower right with bold Japanese-style calligraphy and small vertical paper labels.

Background parade elements: Fill the scene with exactly 12 major yokai or festival figures surrounding her: 1 fox mask floating to the right of her head, 1 deer-skull masked figure behind her, 1 giant red paper lantern with black kanji-like symbols at upper right, 1 tengu or long-nosed goblin face near the lower right, 1 horned oni mask near the upper center, 1 black beast head with sharp teeth at left, 1 robed shrine maiden or noble figure at upper left, 1 umbrella-like spirit shape in the top background, 1 birdlike mask or crow spirit at right, 1 small grinning imp near the lower center, 1 skeletal decorative face near the bottom left, and 1 large shrine gate or festival float structure behind the crowd.

Setting and mood: A chaotic supernatural matsuri procession at night, layered with paper talismans, ropes, beads, red ribbons, smoke tendrils, ink splashes, tiny skulls, flowers, and shrine architecture. The composition should feel like an antique Japanese woodblock print fused with modern ultra-detailed anime illustration. Use {accent_color} brushstrokes and embers throughout.

Text treatment: Any writing should be decorative Japanese-style calligraphy only, mostly illegible except for atmospheric kanji-like marks; do not add readable English text, logos, watermarks, captions, or speech bubbles.

Visual style: Intricate line art, painterly manga rendering, ornate gothic-japonisme costume design, sharp facial detail, layered occult motifs, high detail, dramatic lighting, slightly aged paper texture, dark fantasy elegance, poster-quality finish.
