character: ellen_joe, A medium shot, eye-level anime illustration of an 8-year-old version of Ellen Joe, standing centrally in a cozy interior setting. She is a young girl with a small frame, featuring short black hair with red colored inner hair, topped with a miniature maid headdress and a small X-shaped hair ornament, and a thick shark tail twitching behind her. She wears an oversized maid outfit consisting of a black frilled dress with puffy short sleeves, wrist cuffs, and black pantyhose that look slightly too long for her small legs. Her large red eyes look toward the viewer with a sleepy, bored expression, and her small hands are clutching a oversized lollipop. The background is a soft-focus cafe interior with wooden tables and warm ambient light. The visual style is high-quality anime art with clean linework, soft shading, and a warm, gentle color palette, creating a cute and endearing mood.
