## Prompt

```text
Create a vertical cinematic 1x2 split-screen portrait showing a magical transformation from realism into anime. Canvas: 3:4 vertical image, left half realistic photo style, right half polished shoujo anime illustration, divided by a glowing wavy vertical ribbon of blue-white magic with many golden sparkles and tiny star bursts. Left side: a young woman taking a casual selfie inside a car, soft natural daylight, rear car window and gray interior visible behind her. She has {hair_color}, large natural brown eyes, smooth fair skin, soft pink lips, a tiny nose piercing, red round wire-frame glasses, and pearl drop earrings. She wears a {shirt_color} with a white line-art flower printed on the chest, plus a beige plaid shawl or scarf draped over her shoulders. Right side: transform the same woman into a cute anime version with matching hairstyle, red round glasses, pearl earrings, brown eyes enlarged with starry highlights, delicate blush, small lips, soft face shape, and the same brown flower-print shirt and beige plaid shawl. Background on the anime side is warm cream parchment with subtle texture and small gold stars. Style: left side must look like a real photograph with realistic skin, hair, lens perspective, and car lighting; right side must look like a high-quality romantic anime portrait with clean linework, glossy eyes, warm shading, and soft watercolor-like highlights. The magical divider should contain exactly 1 continuous blue sparkling energy stream running vertically between the two halves, with many tiny golden and blue star particles radiating outward. Mood: enchanting, cute, cinematic, "what if your photo had an anime soul" transformation. Constraints: keep the two versions aligned at similar head height and pose, preserve the outfit details and red glasses on both sides, no text, no watermark, no extra people.
