Art style: Tim Burton-inspired.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered — Elara, an older sister in her early twenties, protective and stern with a permanent shadow of worry etched into her face. She is tall and unnaturally slender with pale, almost bluish porcelain skin and dark circles beneath large, deep-set eyes. Her long black hair is pulled back into a severe, slightly messy bun with a few loose strands framing sharp cheekbones and a tense, downturned mouth. She wears a high-collared, tightly buttoned charcoal-black Victorian mourning dress with long fitted sleeves, a fitted bodice, and a floor-length skirt trailing over cracked stone. On her feet are pointed, laced ankle boots. One hand clutches a small brass locket; her posture is rigid and vigilant. Behind her, a bare twisted tree and a wrought-iron gate under a heavy grey sky.
