IDENTITY PRESERVATION INSTRUCTION:
Using the uploaded photo as reference, preserve the person's exact facial features, face shape, eye color, skin tone, and unique characteristics while transforming them into a Studio Ghibli anime character. Maintain the recognizable identity and likeness of the person in the photo.

TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION:
Transform the person into a character from a Studio Ghibli anime film. The character should have the signature Ghibli art style: large, expressive eyes with detailed highlights, soft facial features, and a gentle, natural expression. The hair should be rendered with flowing, animated strands, and the overall look should capture the whimsical and nostalgic feel of films like "Spirited Away," "Howl's Moving Castle," or "My Neighbor Totoro."

STYLE AND AESTHETIC PARAMETERS:
- Art Style: Classic Studio Ghibli anime style with hand-painted watercolor textures and soft cel-shading. The image should look like a high-quality animation frame.
- Lighting: Soft, natural lighting with a warm, golden hour glow. Gentle highlights on the face and hair to create depth and dimension.
- Color Palette: Vibrant yet natural colors typical of Ghibli films. Lush greens, soft blues, and warm earthy tones. The colors should be rich but not oversaturated.
- Background: A dreamy, atmospheric background that complements the character. Options include a soft-focus nature scene (forest, field, sky), a cozy indoor setting, or a simple pastel gradient. The background should have a painted, artistic quality.
- Mood: Whimsical, nostalgic, peaceful, and slightly magical.

TECHNICAL QUALITY PARAMETERS:
- High resolution, 4K, detailed
- Sharp focus on face and eyes
- Professional quality illustration
- Aspect ratio: 1:1 (square) or 4:3 (portrait) recommended
