A fierce female warrior in a three-quarter, slightly low-angle full-body portrait, wind-swept dark hair and a fresh streak of blood down her cheek, intense narrowed eyes and a determined, battle-hardened expression. She wears intricately engraved dark steel armor with filigree etching — molded breastplate, layered tassets, articulated greaves, spiked pauldrons, strapped leather belts and thigh harnesses — scuffed, scratched and stained with dried blood and soot. One hand grips a dagger, the other rests near a sheathed sword; fingers bandaged, knuckles raw. Cinematic high-contrast lighting with strong rim and backlight, volumetric mist and smoky stormy background, subtle warm skin tones against desaturated cool blues and greys. Hyper-detailed, painterly realism, dramatic chiaroscuro, razor-sharp textures on metal and leather, visible pores and sweat, dynamic composition, epic dark-fantasy concept art suitable for a novel cover or game key art, high-resolution, photorealistic detail.
