Chapter One Art - gala

Generated from: Late-1990s / early-2000s anime illustration, the look of a shoujo visual-novel CG or an anime promo poster from that era: soft cel shading with glossy specular highlights, large expressive eyes, delicate thin linework, rich saturated palette of rose, lilac, peach and gold over deep plum and slate shadows, atmospheric bloom, intimate and lightly melancholic. Not 3D-rendered, not western cartoon, not chibi, not modern flat vector. Portrait orientation, 2:3 poster composition. SCENE: A charity gala - chandeliers and camera flashes. A teenage girl in an evening gown stands at the top of a grand staircase, composed and very still, hands folded. The crowd below is soft dark bokeh. High-key gold light against dark figures. CHARACTER - ANGELIKA AS A TEEN: straight ginger hair with blonde striped highlights, sharp hunter eyes, freckles kept, braces gone. Her smile is professional and arranged, not beaming.
