Original character illustration, normal anime proportions...

Original character illustration, normal anime proportions, rendered in exactly the same art style as the two reference illustrations: hard-edged two-tone cel shading, bold clean dark outlines, flat solid color fills, no soft gradients, no airbrush, no glossy skin highlights, no blur. Character: young woman with wavy auburn hair in a loose side braid, hazel eyes, navy academy uniform with gold trim and white collar, holding a leather book, half-body three-quarter view, simple flat neutral background, no text. Expression: gentle warm smile
