## Prompt

```text
Create a dreamy underwater anime portrait of a melancholic young woman floating beneath the surface, centered in a vertical 2:3 composition. She has long flowing {hair_color} hair drifting weightlessly around her face, pale luminous skin, soft parted lips, and large mismatched eyes, one muted rose-brown and one sea-green, staring upward with a fragile, sorrowful expression. She wears a dark off-shoulder ruffled dress with thin straps and a black choker holding an oval blue gemstone pendant; one hand rests lightly over her chest and wears a matching blue gemstone ring. Surround her with deep teal-blue water, tiny bubbles, faint drifting leaves and blue flower petals, and shafts of sunlight filtering from the rippling surface above. Add shimmering caustic light patterns across her face, collarbones, shoulders, and hand. Use a delicate painterly anime style with watercolor-like textures, soft grain, subdued contrast, ethereal lighting, intricate hair strands, transparent layered shadows, and a quiet tragic fantasy mood. No text, no border, no watermark.
```
