Body frame: believable adult frame shaped by occupation, climate, sleep, and daily routine
Posture: Derived from occupation, fatigue, confidence, climate, and relationship context; variants should track story arc stage.
Hands: Hands must reflect work history, care habits, and age, with close-up reference required before final rigging.

Face state: soft_continuity
Visual status
