character: original, A wide shot from a slightly low angle depicts Artia Lovels, a tall, slender Indo-European man in his late 60s with light brown skin and a refined, handsome face, standing in an open-air Indian-style teahouse. He has a lean, athletic build with an exceptionally tall, nine-head-proportion stature and long limbs. His white hair, with hints of navy, is styled in an all-back fashion with a few strands falling over his forehead, tied at the nape with a colorful braided cord. He possesses deep purple, almond-shaped eyes with thick lashes and a gentle, serene smile. He is dressed in light, airy attire blending Indian and Japanese styles, consisting of a high-collared navy and grass-green tunic with wide trousers in light gray, draped with a light wisteria-colored feminine shawl. He is barefoot in zori sandals, with a short sheathed dagger tucked into his waist belt. He stands relaxed, holding a steaming ceramic tea cup in one hand. The background features the rustic, sun-drenched atmosphere of a South Asian tea stall. The image is a high-contrast anime illustration with strong graphic linework, sharp ink-like strokes, and bold silhouettes, utilizing a limited palette to create dramatic light-dark tension.
