VISUAL DNA

◆Biology, face, body & movement

Skin direction: specific natural skin range derived from ancestry, environment, and age
Age direction: Believable 45-year-old, avoiding both younger glamorization and exaggerated aging.
Hair direction: Natural hair possibilities must follow ancestry, climate, grooming habits, occupation, and story context; no locked hairstyle until continuity lock.
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.
Movement: supporting-appropriate expression built through behavior, not anatomy claims
Face state: soft_continuity
Visual status
