Art style: Ghibli / Anime-inspired.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered in a doorway, a caring mother in her early forties welcoming her child home. She has a warm oval face with soft rounded cheeks, gentle hazel eyes crinkled with a tender smile, light-olive skin and faint smile lines. Dark chestnut hair is pulled back into a loose low bun with a few escaping strands framing her face. Medium height, soft maternal build with a slightly rounded figure. She wears a simple pale-blue knitted cardigan over a cream blouse, a long sage-green skirt, and a faded floral apron tied at the waist, its strings trailing. Worn brown leather house slippers on her feet. One hand rests on the doorframe, the other reaching outward in a welcoming gesture. Behind her, a cozy warmly lit wooden hallway with a hanging coat and golden evening light pouring in.
