Outfit: a dark teal-black mage set with heavy gold embroidery. A deep hood framed in gold scrollwork. The cropped top is cut low, gold vine patterns over the chest, a harness of fine gold chains at the sternum. Long fitted sleeves with gold cuffs. A high-slit skirt with a gold-coin belt, hanging charms, and an open midriff. Fingerless gloves. A sheathed weapon at the hip. Long silvery-blue hair spills from the hood. Small violet spell-orbs float around the sleeves. Pose: Elira stands in a three-quarter stance, weight on the back hip, torso turned toward camera, chin slightly down, looking aside. One gloved hand is lifted with a coil of violet magic; the other rests near the weapon. Clean beautiful flawless complexion, face, and skin. Background: the nave of a vast gothic cathedral. Gold columns, pointed arches, stained glass throwing colored panes down the aisle, a warm sanctuary glow in the depth of the hall. **Lighting** 1. Mood: cinematic cathedral lighting, sacred and dramatic. 2. Sources: stained-glass windows as colored keys; warm candle-gold from the far altar; violet spell-light as a local practical on her hands. 3. Direction: window light from behind-right; warmer fill from deep in the nave; magic light from her raised hand. 4. Tone: amber gold on stone and skin; cool jewel tones from the glass; violet accents on the embroidery. 5. Illumination and shadow: her midriff, chest, and the gold work are lit; the inside of the hood and the far side of the skirt fall into shadow. The upper vaults stay darker than the aisle. 6. Highlights: gold thread catching window fire, hair rimmed silver under the hood, stained-glass color on the columns, wet-looking gleam on the violet orbs.
