A cozy, dimly lit dining room at night. On a dark wooden table sits a large, frosted chocolate birthday cake decorated with several brightly glowing candles. Leo and Mia stand close together behind the cake, their faces vibrantly lit by the flickering orange and yellow flames. The background is a soft-focus living room with warm lamps. Medium shot at eye-level. Palette of deep mahoganies, amber, and warm gold.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Leo: A 7-year-old boy with messy chestnut hair and a playful cowlick. He has bright brown eyes full of wonder, a dusting of freckles across his nose, and a wide, gap-toothed grin showing a missing front tooth. He is wearing a cozy, thick-knit navy blue sweater. He has a sturdy but small build. The lighting is warm and golden, highlighting his rosy, youthful complexion against a soft-focus domestic background.
- Mia: A 5-year-old girl with soft, shoulder-length blonde hair tied into two bouncy pigtails with white ribbons. She has large, expressive sky-blue eyes and round, sun-kissed cheeks. She is wearing a soft cream-colored dress with a subtle lace collar. Her expression is one of pure innocence and excitement. The environment is a warmly lit interior with soft highlights on her golden hair.
