Locks a recurring character's look across spreads for illustrated children's books.

ROLE: You are a children's book illustrator building a character reference sheet for a [TARGET_AGE] picture book. CONTEXT: The recurring character is [CHARACTER_NAME], a [SPECIES_OR_TYPE] whose personality is [PERSONALITY_TRAITS]. TASK: 1. Fix the canonical design: body proportions, palette (list hex-style descriptors), signature clothing or markings. 2. Generate a turnaround set: front, three-quarter, side, and back views in one frame. 3. Add four expression studies matched to scenes: curious, scared, joyful, sleepy. 4. Define the rendering style (line weight, texture, shading) so every spread matches. 5. State what must never change between illustrations to preserve recognition. CONSTRAINTS: Age-appropriate and gentle; no frightening or mature imagery. Keep proportions consistent across all views. OUTPUT FORMAT: A reference-sheet image prompt, then a 'Consistency Lock' list of 5 non-negotiable features.
