Original new character illustration with normal anime pro...

Original new character illustration with normal anime proportions (not chibi, not super-deformed), in the same rendering style and line quality as the reference illustration (style reference only; do not copy the reference character's face, hair, ears or outfit). New design: an 18-year-old young woman with wavy auburn hair tied in a loose side braid, hazel eyes, wearing a navy academy uniform with gold trim and a white collar, holding a leather book. Half-body, three-quarter view, calm confident expression, simple dark neutral background, no text.
