Must hold
Exactly one figure in frame. One straight, double-edged jian sword, held in her right hand, with a plain hilt and a single red tassel. Both hands have five fingers. The costume is Chinese martial dress, never mixed with Japanese or Korean elements. No text anywhere.
Identity
With a photo attached: the person in the photo is the subject. Keep their face exactly as it is, with bone structure, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, hairline, skin tone and apparent age all unchanged. Only the clothing, pose, setting and light come from this prompt.
Without a photo: create an original person, a Chinese woman in her thirties with long black hair tied high. Invent the face; do not base it on any real or well-known person.
The picture
A swordswoman in her thirties lands on the ridge of a grey-tiled roof in heavy rain, one knee bent low, the other leg extended behind her, her free hand touching the tiles for balance. The sword is held back and low along her body. Her eyes are fixed on something beyond the frame, her jaw set. She wears a dark indigo cross-collared ramie robe cut for movement, cinched with a wide leather belt, leather bracers on both forearms, loose trousers bound into cloth boots, and a hooded grey cloak flaring out behind her. Hair in a high topknot tied with a black ribbon. Behind her, tiered roofs of a walled town fade into mist in layers of grey, as in ink wash painting.
Technical
Shot as a film still on an ARRI Alexa Mini LF with a 40mm prime at T2, fast shutter so the rain freezes into short streaks. Overcast cool light from above, a single warm lantern in a window below rimming her cloak.
