Detailed Description
A vertical image features a woman standing centrally, facing forward, against a dark red, draped background. She has fair skin and long, wavy reddish-brown hair that flows over her shoulders. Her face is oval-shaped with dark eyes, a straight nose, and full lips. She wears a golden headband with a central jewel and long, dangling earrings. Her attire consists of a light pink, loose-fitting top with a deep V-neck, edged with gold embroidery. Over this, she wears a golden-yellow draped garment that wraps around her body, cinched at the waist by a dark green sash. Her left hand rests on her hip, adorned with a gold bracelet and rings. Her right hand grips the hilt of a sword, which is sheathed and positioned horizontally across her lower abdomen. The sword's hilt is ornate, and the scabbard is dark with metallic bands. The background is a rich, dark red fabric, draped in folds, with visible gold embroidery or patterns on the left and right sides. The lighting highlights the woman's face and upper body, creating a contrast with the darker background.
