Big bad wolf: groups of children (7)

Age:

Four characters: Mila, 11, light chestnut hair in a ponytail, round face and brave smile, holding a small silver mirror reflecting a candle, standing left by the door looking out; Rowan, 11, short brown hair, focused, clutching a leather bell with string around his hand, beside Mila slightly back and ready to ring it; Grandmother, ~70, gray hair in a bun, gentle wrinkles, simple floral dress, standing behind the children with a hand on the door handle, calm and protective; the Big Bad Wolf, large, dark gray fur with bluish highlights, piercing yellow eyes and elongated muzzle, crouched on the outer threshold with a sly, menacing look. Setting: rustic wooden cottage front—weathered boards, old oak door with cracks, stone threshold, thick curtains glowing with warm candlelight—at dawn with weak golden light, long shadows and damp leaves on the porch. Main moment: tense scene with the door open a narrow crack; the candlelight and mirror reflection hit the wolf’s face making him recoil; Mila points the mirror, Rowan holds the bell ready, grandmother blocks the door; strong contrast between warm interior (orange/ochre) and cold exterior (gray-blue), clear expressions of defiance on the children and cunning in the wolf.
