Anime Bard in a Cozy Cottage: Warm Light and Lute

An anime-style bard sits in a cozy wooden cottage, bathed in warm hearthlight. The bard has flowing silver hair, bright expressive eyes, and wears a knitted emerald-green sweater with leather boots. They cradle a lute on their lap, fingers poised to pluck a melody as musical notes drift through the air. The cottage interior is rustic and inviting: wooden beams, shelves stuffed with books and bottles, a crackling fireplace, a kettle on the stove, and a plush armchair beside a window. Outside, moonlight filters through frosted glass. Soft shadows, rich earthy tones, and painterly textures in a semi-realistic anime aesthetic with clean linework. The scene radiates cozy, slice-of-life charm with warm amber lighting and gentle atmosphere.
