Inside {argument name="Location" default="a Taiwan MRT train car"}, a young woman sits in a seat near the door. Her appearance and clothing should reference the woman in the uploaded photo (including facial features, vibe, hairstyle, and style of dress — the outfit should match the one in the photo), looking down at her phone in a natural, unposed state, not looking at the camera. She is positioned in the right third of the frame, with a blurred foreground element partially obscuring the left side.

| If the result… | Why | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| The result drifts from the preview | Too many fields changed at once. | Reuse Reference-Based Character Portrait Prompt as-is first, then change one group — subject, light, or setting. |
| The model over-stylizes the scene | The prose prompt leaves finish and camera underspecified. | Add one camera or lighting sentence and stay on GPT Image 2. |
