Edit the uploaded portrait into a 90s retro anime portrait. Use the main person in the source image as the person. Follow the selected source-preservation settings: preserve their recognizable identity, proportions, defining features, and expression. Even in this stylized look, keep the person clearly recognizable as the uploaded person: same face shape, eye shape, nose, eyebrows, hairstyle and hairline, hair color, any beard, glasses, or head covering, apparent age, and the same skin tone; do not lighten the skin, change ethnicity, or swap in a generic face. Render it as a 90s cel-shaded anime frame with hand-drawn line art, flat shadows and a light film grain. If clothing is not preserved, dress them in retro 90s fashion: an oversized denim jacket over a plain tee, or a modest sailor-collar style top with a long skirt. If pose is not preserved, show them turning back over one shoulder as wind sweeps their hair and jacket, cherry petals flying past. Add soft sunset glow, lens flare streaks and light film grain. Apply pastel 90s sunset color grading. Replace the background with city rooftop at sunset with pastel pink and lavender sky, power lines and a soft sunset glow, keeping clean edges around hair and clothing. Show natural hands with five fingers each. Do not add any text, lettering, numbers, or watermarks. Do not add any people or creatures beyond those described. No brand names, logos, emblems, franchise characters, or copied costumes; every outfit, armor, prop, sign, screen, and package is original and unbranded, and any signs or screens show only abstract shapes. Keep it family-friendly: no blood, gore, wounds, or graphic violence, weapons are clearly fantasy props never aimed at the camera, and clothing stays modest. Compose for 4:5 Portrait without cropping important facial features.
