Art style: Ghibli / Anime-inspired.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright, centered — Alex, a slim eighteen-year-old Dutch boy of average height, fair skin with a light scatter of freckles across his nose, soft oval face, gentle uncertain hazel eyes, faintly furrowed brows. Tidy light-brown hair, side-parted and slightly overgrown, a few strands falling on his forehead. He wears a plain white collared shirt half-tucked under a muted olive-green zip cardigan, dark slim jeans and simple grey-and-white sneakers; a canvas messenger bag slung across one shoulder, hands loosely in his pockets. His posture is a little hesitant, weight on one leg, shoulders slightly raised, expression thoughtful and searching. He stands on a narrow brick side-street of a small Dutch town at dusk, tidy gabled houses and a bicycle behind him.
