## Hypothesis

## Prompt

Character expression sheet for a game cast lineup: a sheet of twelve cells, each cell a bust, head and shoulders cropped at mid-chest by the bottom edge of the cell, the character in three-quarter view turned toward the right side of the cell, the head centred horizontally in the cell with its top a small margin below the top edge of the cell, the same crop and scale in every cell. Super-deformed chibi proportions: the character is two heads tall in total, so the head is very large compared with the small shoulders and narrow torso. Clean 2D anime illustration drawn to be traced into vector art: one bold dark outline of even weight around the whole silhouette, thinner inner lines, flat cel shading with exactly one base tone and one shadow tone per material, light from the upper left. No gradients, no texture, no painterly blending, no glow halos, no pixel art, no 3D rendering. A limited palette of five or six flat colours taken from the character's key colours. Large expressive anime eyes with two white highlights. The background is one perfectly flat, uniform, solid bright chroma-key green from edge to edge: no gradient, no vignette, no floor, no cast shadow, no particles, no props or scenery behind the figure.

The sheet is a grid of four columns by three rows, twelve cells of the same character in reading order, left to right and top to bottom, separated by generous empty padding of the same flat green, with no frames, no borders, no divider lines, no labels and no text. Every cell shows the same character with the same design, colours and proportions; the cell description sets that cell's expression and pose, and the character description below gives the design.

Nibu, a quiet, serious worldbuilder girl: very long pale lavender hair with a swept side fringe, a pink hair clip on the left shaped like a small data connector plug, a short rectangular plug body with a round pink bead at each end; a large pink ribbon bow on the right, half-lidded violet eyes, a calm unsmiling expression, arms folded. Wears a sleeveless lilac blouse with a frilled collar, detached dark purple sleeves with circuit-pattern embroidery, a small cyan ring device on the shoulder, and a long dark purple coat. Key colours: violet and pink with a cyan accent.

Cell 1 (neutral): a calm neutral expression, mouth closed, looking ahead. Cell 2 (happy): a broad happy smile with bright eyes. Cell 3 (amused): an amused smirk with one eyebrow raised, a stifled laugh. Cell 4 (thinking): a thoughtful expression, eyes looking up and aside, one hand raised to the chin. Cell 5 (concerned): a concerned expression, brows drawn together and tilted up, a small worried frown. Cell 6 (annoyed): an annoyed expression, flat half-lidded eyes, a pursed frown. Cell 7 (surprised): a surprised expression, wide eyes, mouth open in an O. Cell 8 (determined): a determined expression, narrowed eyes, a firm set mouth, a small nod. Cell 9 (console): typing on a small floating console panel. Cell 10 (glitch): her face and hair split by a few horizontally offset slices, as if glitching. Cell 11 (lore): reciting lore with eyes closed and one hand open before her. Cell 12 (triumph): a quiet triumphant smile with one fist lightly raised.
