## Prompt

```text
Transform the photo into a delicate minimalist {style} with a soft whimsical fairy-tale aesthetic. Use simple elongated shapes, thin imperfect hand-drawn lines, flat {color_palette}, minimal details, and a cute doll-like character style with rosy cheeks, tiny facial features, and simplified anatomy. Add subtle paper texture, soft pencil and pastel shading, watercolor softness, and a {background}. Stylize the clothing in a playful storybook way with simplified shapes and gentle decorative details. The overall mood should feel airy, cozy, naive, and charming, like a modern Scandinavian nursery postcard or children’s book illustration. Avoid photorealism, 3D, cinematic lighting, glossy surfaces, complex shadows, realistic anatomy, and hyper-detail.
```
