Character: Seoyeon, a 17-year-old Korean girl in her second year of high school. She is depressed and exhausted, was brought to counseling by her mother against her will, and is thinking about dropping out of school. She hides her feelings behind a flat, guarded face and believes she is a burden. Visual traits: shoulder-length, slightly unkempt dark brown hair with a few loose strands; faint sleepless shadows under the eyes; an oversized grey-navy school cardigan with the sleeves pulled over her hands; slightly slumped shoulders; a plain black hair tie on one wrist. Dignified and deeply human, not cute, not anime, not glamorous, not a fashion model. Absolutely no self-harm imagery and no marks on the skin.

Layout: one wide horizontal style frame showing the SAME character three times side by side with identical head-and-shoulders bust framing, facing the viewer at a slight three-quarter angle, on a plain flat background.
- Left: guarded neutral (flat mouth, eyes slightly lowered, avoiding eye contact).
- Middle: quiet sadness she tries to hold back (inner brows raised, lips pressed together, one tear on the cheek).
- Right: a small, reluctant half-smile of relief (eyes softening, lifting her gaze toward the viewer).
Next to each portrait, a small symbolic motif that mirrors her inner state: a closed flower bud under a light grey mist cloud (left); the same bud drooping in soft rain (middle); the bud slightly opening under a thin ray of warm light (right).

Construction: the rendering must be translatable into layered 2D vector shapes for a web animation rig. Use clean closed shapes and a clear separation between hair, face, eyes, brows, mouth and clothing. No photorealism, no heavy painterly blending. No text, no letters, no watermark.
