Prompt:
A cinematic visual storyboard plate presenting four character portraits arranged horizontally, like a mythic dossier. The style is painterly, atmospheric, and refined, combining Victorian gothic fantasy with scrapbook-like environmental framing.
At the top of the image, centered in elegant serif typography:
“What Was Forbidden Was Never Unnatural — Only Necessary”
Below it, smaller and italic:
“A Visual Myth of Memory, Union, and Survival”
The background is textured like aged paper, subtly layered with fog, smoke, frost, and organic elements that blend into each character’s frame. Each character title appears above their portrait.

LEFT TO RIGHT:
1. THE FAERIE
A slim winged faerie woman with dark brown or ash-toned hair (not blonde), pale skin with a faint iridescent glow, and luminous eyes. Her wings are large, worn, and partially tattered. She wears layered Victorian-era clothing adapted to hide her wings.
Frame effects: fog, smoke, soot, gaslight haze from a refugee city. Soft, irregular borders.
2. THE LOVER–INSPECTOR
A tall, lean human man in his early thirties wearing a Victorian inspector’s uniform. Dark hair, light stubble, conflicted steel-gray eyes. A half deep-teal gemstone is visible near his chest or resting on a book.
Frame effects: rain, drifting smoke, wet stone reflections, lamplight. Transitional atmosphere.
3. THE FATHER — CHIEF INSPECTOR
A tall, imposing man in his late fifties with iron-gray hair, severe angular features, pale cold eyes. He wears a heavy fur-lined authority coat with insignia. Expression rigid, unyielding.
Frame effects: snow, frost, icicles, sharp rigid edges. Cold whites and steel blues dominate.
4. THE GUARDIAN CENTAUR
A centaur with a fully human face and upper body, seamlessly joined to a powerful horse body. Weathered human features, long dark or iron-gray hair, short beard, calm ancient expression.
Frame effects: tree bark, roots, leaves, moss, subtle flowers and new growth. Organic, living borders.
