Age:

Main woman: Safi, a young woman with gentle determined features, light brown skin, tightly braided black hair, simple ochre dress, tense but resolute face; she kneels on a stone platform placing a small carved wooden bead onto a spiral symbol engraved in the stone. Safi’s emotion: weary yet calmly brave, focused expression, moist but steady eyes, upright despite exhaustion. Secondary 1: the griot, an elderly dark-skinned man with gray braids and a kora on his shoulder, smiling kindly; he stands in a collapsed archway a few steps behind Safi, watching with relief. Secondary 2: Bemba, an adult man in his mid-30s with medium skin and a honey-colored shiny robe, looking upset and defeated; he stands at the scene’s edge turning away, slightly hunched. Place: ruins of Mawu-Lani at dusk, broken stone towers, grass-covered steps with small yellow flowers, walls with flaked frescoes of queens and hunters, a broken arch in the background, burn marks in a spiral on the central platform. Light and mood: soft golden glow emanates from the spiral symbol, dust motes lit like tiny stars, calm atmosphere with bluish shadows and warm highlights. Graphic details: rough cracked stone textures, polished veined wooden bead, copper stitching on a grimoire in an open chest nearby, controlled watercolor splashes suggesting wind and dust. Composition: mid-centre framing on Safi and the spiral, depth showing the griot behind and Bemba departing, leading lines toward the broken arch, palette of ochres, browns, soft blues and touches of gold.

The protagonist is a ~17-year-old girl with a determined, moved expression, bright eyes, wearing a white swan mask and a dark dress with fine seams, holding a parchment map that glows gold and a thin silver band coiled around her wrist; her mother (~40) emerges relieved and surprised from a large starry tapestry, hands raised toward her; Nico (~13) with a mischievous face and fox mask stands at the foot of the dais holding a low lantern; Count Velasquez (~50) in a gilded lion mask and richly embroidered costume steps back, furious and baffled to the right; Mirelda (~60) in a simple gray dress with a visible key chain stands behind the girl, calm and solemn with a hand near the map. The setting is a grand baroque salon with high painted ceilings, red velvet curtains, a sparkling crystal chandelier, ancient tapestries (including a crowned stag), rows of masked nobles, flickering candles and pale moths drifting in the air. The central moment is the restoration of the true name: a beam of light bursts from the map and tapestry as the mother emerges in light, the silver band around the girl's wrist scintillates, moths whirl in a luminous trail, and the masked crowd looks on amazed in a charged, triumphant atmosphere.
