## Prompt

```text
[Character/Theme] = {character}.
A colorful East Asian calligraphic linear figure illustration, based on a white-drawing (baimiao) skeleton where line-drawing dominates the form, with freehand-style light coloring. Ink lines from a calligraphy brush, utilizing mixed-hair brush strokes, centered brushwork, with some flying white (feibai) created by side-brushing to achieve a dry-brush texture. Hair is drawn with fine, gossamer lines. The outlines are open with intermittent double lines, creating a play between void and solid. Large areas of negative space on a white paper background. Transparent watercolor glazing, light ink washing, with partial boneless-style coloring. The color layers are transparent and the color blocks are pure with soft edges. Minimal shading, scattered lighting, weak contrast, and flattened coloring. The character is drawn strictly according to original designs for clothing, hairstyle, and accessories, avoiding generic Hanfu templates to preserve the character's unique logic. Hand structures are accurate with five complete and clear fingers, natural joints, and elegant gestures. Fully colored with unified and clear tones for skin, hair, clothing, and accessories.
