## Prompt

```text
Create a horizontal cinematic portrait with the vibe of {film_aesthetic}. An adult {character_background} appears alone in a modern urban everyday environment, with black shoulder-length or slightly longer medium-short hair that is naturally messy, with bangs and stray hairs covering part of the eyes and cheeks. The makeup is extremely light, skin texture is natural, and her expression is quiet, tired, detached, and thoughtful, not intentionally facing the camera. She wears a loose and thick rice-gray, taupe, light khaki, or low-saturation gray-green chunky knit sweater with long cuffs partially covering the palms; paired with a simple light-colored canvas bag, fabric backpack, or crossbody bag. The overall outfit is ordinary, soft, and shows signs of life, rather than high fashion. The scene takes place in a real urban living space: {scene}, next to a convenience store glass window at night, a quiet dimly lit laundromat, a pet cafe, or a corner of an old grocery store. The environment must have many real-life details: subway handrails, stranger passengers, automatic doors, convenience store shelves, rainy night streets, drum washing machines, glass reflections, cats, cardboard boxes, old posters, metal seats, neon signs, etc., but all these elements serve the character's emotion and should not overshadow the subject. The character should not perform obvious actions; she can just be looking down at her phone, gently holding her knees, holding a white flower, sitting by the window, waiting, dazing, or briefly staring at the ground. Avoid commercial posed shots; the posture should be like a moment accidentally captured by a photographer from everyday city life.
