A cartoon girl with long brown hair and a teal polka dot dress stands on a cobblestone path next to a black shadow figure with glowing yellow eyes, in a warm, sunny village scene.

Disney-style children’s book illustration, richly detailed, warm golden evening light. Lena, an 8-year-old girl, stands on a cozy cottage path with flowers glowing softly around her. She has bright blue eyes, a sprinkle of freckles, long wavy chestnut-brown hair with a turquoise flower clip, and wears a teal dress with tiny white polka dots and a ribbon belt. Friendly Disney face, warm smile, gentle proportions. Beside her stands Shade — Lena’s living shadow — shaped exactly like a little girl. Shade matches Lena’s pose and hairstyle but appears as a clean, crisp, matte shadow silhouette with soft edges, no glow, no cartoon blob. Shade has subtle amber eyes and a tiny swirling light in the chest. Shade looks friendly, curious, and magical — but still a SHADOW, not a creature. Scene style: Pixar/Disney rendering, painterly detail, soft rim-lighting, magical atmosphere, warm village background, no watercolor. See more
