Art style: Ghibli / Anime-inspired.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright, figure centered — Alex, a slender eighteen-year-old Dutch boy, fair skin with a light dusting of freckles across the nose, a soft oval face, gentle blue-grey eyes, and slightly arched brows carrying a searching, uncertain expression. His tousled light-brown hair falls loosely over his forehead, a little overgrown. Lean, average build, faintly hunched shoulders. He wears a plain navy zip-up hoodie over a white tee, slightly loose grey jeans, and worn white sneakers with scuffed soles. A canvas backpack hangs off one shoulder; he clutches a small grocery bag. He stands hesitantly at the mouth of a narrow brick alley in a small Dutch town, cobblestones underfoot, evening light and a faint scent of fresh spray paint hinting at graffiti on the wall behind him.
