Use the attached photo as the facial reference. Preserve the subject's exact face, skin tone, bone structure, and features with complete accuracy throughout. A woman, late 20s, standing in the shadows of a rooftop overlooking a glittering city at night. Wearing an all-black fitted tactical suit — long-sleeve, high neck, matte finish, minimal visible seams — with a thin black utility belt and matching black gloves held loosely in her right hand. Her hair is pulled back in a tight high bun. She is in three-quarter profile, looking out over the city skyline, expression completely unreadable — not threatening, not soft. Neutral like a blade. The city lights far below cast faint blue light upward onto her face from below. A faint breath of wind moves a single loose strand of hair at her temple. Camera: low and slightly behind her at a 45-degree angle — looking up past her into the city skyline. She dominates the foreground; the skyline is the backdrop. 50mm, f/1.8. The city below her is pure bokeh of blue and white light clusters.Color palette: deep matte black, cool blue city glow, pale silver moonlight from above on the crown of her head and her right shoulder line. No warm tones anywhere.Ultra-photorealistic. The suit texture must read as real matte technical fabric — not spandex, not leather. The city bokeh lights behind her must be organic and varied — not symmetrical. 4:5 ratio image
