Anime Character Base with Blank Face

A clean anime-style character base bust portrait of [an unnamed young woman] designed for modular facial expression assets. Centered, front-facing composition cropped from the top of the head to the upper chest in a calm neutral pose. The character has pale skin, visible ears, and shoulder-length soft layered [white hair fading into pale ice blue at the tips] with airy translucent strands, long side locks, and subtle loose curls. She wears a futuristic high-collar [white zip-up jacket] featuring light blue accents, a central zipper, delicate seam lines, and a small rectangular collar tab with a blue triangle symbol. The face features (eyes, nose, mouth) are completely absent, covered by a single centered vertical rounded-rectangle mask with a soft vertical gradient from warm pale peach at the top to cool pale blue at the bottom, extending from the forehead to below the chin while leaving the hair and ears visible. Clean light gray studio backdrop, soft studio lighting, thin refined line art, subtle watercolor-like anime rendering, gentle shadows, no text, no UI elements.
