Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered — Ekaterina Andreevna, a warm, composed class teacher around her late thirties. Fair skin with soft laugh lines, gentle hazel eyes, a calm welcoming smile. Shoulder-length chestnut-brown hair pulled back in a loose low bun with a few strands framing her face. Slim, graceful build of average height. She wears a soft cream knit cardigan over a dusty-rose blouse, a slate-grey midi skirt, and sheer tights ending in low tan leather flats. A thin silver chain at her neck and a wristwatch. One hand rests reassuringly as if guiding a child, the other holds a class register. Posture open and steady. Setting: a sunlit school classroom doorway with rows of desks and a chalkboard behind her.
