## Prompt

```text
Create a square, retro behind-the-scenes film still of {character_name} sitting in a low squat on worn stone steps in an old rustic courtyard or period village set. She has {hair_color} tied loosely up with flyaway strands, a pale tired face, minimal makeup, and a defiant deadpan expression while staring directly into the camera. She wears a dirty all-black ancient martial-arts rogue costume with exactly 5 visible outfit components: layered wrap robe, textured leather-like shoulder vest, dark forearm wraps, loose trousers, and worn black boots. Pose her with her left hand raised toward the camera giving the middle finger and her right hand holding exactly 1 half-eaten steamed bun or meat bun. Place exactly 1 crumpled brown paper food bag on the ground beside her right boot. The background should show blurred stone steps, beige plaster walls, dark wooden posts, and rustic set dressing, suggesting a wuxia or historical drama filming location during a break. Use muted sepia-brown color grading, soft natural daylight, shallow depth of field, realistic skin texture, candid snapshot framing, slight motion imperfection, and an aged photographic print look with visible film grain, dust specks, scratches, faded contrast, worn white rounded borders, and creased corners. No text, no watermark, no modern objects except the food bag, and keep the image gritty, natural, and unpolished rather than glossy.
```
