MASTER FACE-MATCH RULE — HIGHEST PRIORITY: Unmistakably and precisely the same woman from the attached reference photo — this is a stylized illustration, but her facial identity must still be clearly recognizable: preserve her exact hairline, hair texture and natural fall, brow shape, eye shape and spacing, nose bridge, lip shape, jawline, and cheekbone structure, rendered in illustrated form but true to her real proportions — not a generic caricature face.

STYLE: warm, hand-painted storybook illustration style — rich textured brushwork, slightly exaggerated but affectionate proportions (like a children's book or animated poster), full of charm and personality, NOT photorealistic.

THE SCENE: she stands proudly at the front of a cozy, lived-in classroom, one arm raised holding a wooden pointer toward a chalkboard, the other arm cradling a tall stack of well-loved books topped with pencils and a ruler. Around her neck, a lanyard with a small "TEACHER" ID card featuring a painted portrait of her. She beams a warm, genuine smile at the viewer.

BANNER: at the top of the frame, a hand-painted ribbon banner reads "WORLD'S FAVOURITE TEACHER" in bold friendly lettering, flanked by a small painted trophy and a bunch of colored pencils crossed like a crest, correctly spelled and clean.

CHALKBOARD DETAIL: behind her, a chalkboard reads "Welcome to Room 101" at the top, with playful chalk doodles — a sun, a small rocket, a music note, simple math symbols (2+2=4) — all clean, correctly formed, no garbled text.

CLASSROOM DETAIL: a globe on a side table, a mug that reads "BEST TEACHER" beside a stack of colored notebooks, an apple resting on an open graded notebook marked with a red "A+", a wall clock, student artwork pinned to a corkboard, and two small illustrated students peeking in from the side, laughing and waving.

STYLING: a warm mustard or teal kurta-style top or blouse (not red, for a fresh palette), sleeves rolled or three-quarter, hair worn naturally with soft waves, a simple bindi and small earrings.

COLOUR STORY: warm mustard, teal, and cream classroom tones, deep chalkboard green, pops of red apple and golden banner — rich, inviting, nostalgic.

LIGHT: warm soft interior light, gentle painterly shading, no harsh photographic shadows — everything glows with a cozy storybook warmth.

Vertical 9:16 frame. All text elements must be clean, correctly spelled, and legible — no garbled or nonsense lettering.
