## Prompt

```text
Create a vertical anime-style portrait of a young Japanese bookstore clerk in a warmly lit bookstore aisle. She is centered in a close-up bust composition, facing the viewer with a gentle small smile and soft, expressive brown eyes. She has {hair_color} short bob hair with airy loose waves, wispy bangs covering the forehead, fine flyaway strands, and warm rim light outlining the top of her hair. She wears a slightly wrinkled cream button-up shirt under a navy bookstore apron with shoulder straps, metal strap buckles, a small white “BOOKS” logo on the chest, and a clipped rectangular staff name badge with Japanese text including 「店員」 and the name 「貝渕」. Add small stud earrings and natural rosy cheeks. She holds one visible book at the lower left edge of the frame, a teal-green hardcover with vertical Japanese title text. The background is a softly blurred bookstore interior with shelves on both sides, warm ceiling lights creating round bokeh, and a large out-of-focus Japanese sign on the left reading 「文庫・新書」 and 「話題の本」. Use cinematic golden-hour indoor lighting, slightly dark cozy exposure, shallow depth of field, detailed painterly anime rendering, delicate skin shading, realistic fabric folds, soft amber highlights, and a calm intimate atmosphere. Canvas ratio 2:3, portrait orientation. Avoid extra characters, avoid modern UI elements, avoid watermarks, and keep all background text blurred except the badge and apron logo.
```
