## Prompt

```text
Create a highly detailed semi-realistic digital portrait of {character_name}, chest-up and centered in a vertical 3:4 canvas. She has {hair_color_and_style} with many loose sketchy strands whipping around her head, partially covering one eye and spreading across the left side of the frame. Her face is front-facing with a slight upward tilt of the chin, full lips slightly parted, dark expressive eyes, strong brows, subtle freckles across the nose and cheeks, and a confident relaxed expression. Dress her in {outfit}. Use a sophisticated hand-drawn ink-and-paint aesthetic: semi-realistic facial rendering, visible brush strokes, fine scratchy hair lines, painterly shadows, warm skin tones, glossy highlights on the lips and nose, and dramatic contrast between the dark hair and pale background. The background should be {background} with soft abstract brush marks and no objects. Lighting is soft and cinematic from the upper front, emphasizing cheekbones, nose bridge, collarbone, and the natural shine of the hair. Keep the composition elegant, editorial, moody, and fashion-portrait inspired, with no text, no watermark, and no extra people.
