A bolt of violet lightning strikes the raised pendant in the first instant. Ribbons of blue light spiral around her as the camera orbits a full 360 degrees; the hoodie dissolves and sleek white and cobalt armor plates form from liquid light and lock into place piece by piece, slowing into slow motion as the chest plate seals, then snapping back to full speed as a long cobalt cape snaps open in the storm wind and a sword of blue light ignites in her hand; the camera ends on a low-angle push-in to her heroic pose against the lightning. Fluid high-end anime transformation, rain everywhere. One continuous shot, no cuts, consistent character and world, correct anatomy and hands, no text, no letters, no logos, no captions.
