How to Keep Character Consistency

A candid indoor restaurant photo in a realistic anime-inspired style, showing two young women seated at a small worn wooden table inside a cozy Japanese izakaya with vertical wood-paneled walls and a clear plastic tent-like curtain on the right side. The camera is slightly above table height and angled diagonally toward the table, creating a casual snapshot feeling. One woman is in the left foreground with her back mostly to the viewer, leaning forward over the table; she has long straight dark hair and wears a bulky dark navy or black puffer jacket with a large hood. The second woman sits across from her on the right, facing the camera with a relaxed posture and one arm bent on the table; she has shoulder-length dark brown to black hair, a center part, a black puffer jacket, and a light inner shirt. Replace only the people with clean, natural-looking anime characters while keeping the restaurant environment photorealistic and unchanged. Preserve the mixed-media look of anime characters composited believably into a real photo. On the table, include 2 stainless steel mugs, 2 pairs of chopsticks, 1 smartphone with a bright blue case near the center-left edge of the table, 1 cigarette pack near the right woman, 1 large oval plate with thinly sliced white onions and a lemon wedge, 1 small dish of green vegetables, 1 small plate of brown food, 1 small plate with toast or grilled bread, 1 small dark bowl, 2 small empty white bowls, and 1 printed handwritten Japanese menu sheet lying on the lower right corner of the table. In the upper left background, include a wooden counter with white ceramic bottles and dishes, plus 1 handwritten Japanese wall menu poster. Warm indoor lighting, everyday nightlife atmosphere, documentary realism, detailed wood grain, slightly cluttered tabletop, authentic casual dining scene in Japan.

Using the provided reference image as the base for the man, transform it into a realistic casual smartphone photo collage showing him as if he has a girlfriend. Keep his identity, hairstyle, age, white sweatshirt, and candid non-model look consistent, but place him together with a young woman across 16 square snapshots arranged in a 4x4 grid with thin white borders. Add exactly 1 recurring female companion with long dark hair, styled like a real person rather than a glam model, and vary her outfits subtly across the collage, including a cream knit cardigan, a dark top, and a muted blue top. Make the photos feel like authentic couple memories shot on a phone: close mirror selfie together, dark blurry selfie, indoor peace-sign selfie, night street selfie, motion-blur closeup, outdoor daytime shot under a tree, indoor shoulder-leaning shot, another blurry affectionate shot, seated restaurant shot with glasses on the table, warm night bokeh shot, rooftop or balcony mirror selfie with city lights, nighttime urban walking shot, cozy leaning-together shot, shoulder-around pose, close side-by-side portrait, and another intimate close crop. Mix indoor home scenes, nighttime city scenes, one daytime outdoor scene, and one restaurant setting. Use imperfect framing, slight blur, flash, grain, and spontaneous candid composition so it feels like a real person's saved couple photo dump, not a polished campaign.

A highly detailed anime fantasy portrait of {argument name="character name" default="an elegant blue-haired fantasy woman"}, shown from the back in a three-quarter pose, turning her head over her shoulder to look at the viewer with calm violet eyes and a soft, slightly distant expression. She has very long, flowing {argument name="hair color" default="icy pastel blue"} hair with layered wispy bangs, loose windblown strands, one small ahoge on top, and 1 dark curved horn with subtle crimson striping emerging from the left side of her head.

Add delicate jewel-like tassel details at the upper back and trailing ribbon ends drifting in the air.
