A tightly framed, highly detailed portrait of a gothic aristocratic commander, steeped in old-world nobility and battlefield command. Her expression is sharp, elegant, and unyielding—eyes rimmed with dark kohl, lips pale and poised. Her reddish-brown hair is styled in a sculpted retro bob, swept back with a black velvet headband adorned with gold filigree and tiny jet gemstones. She wears a high-collared coat of deep crimson wool with structured black leather paneling, wrapped across her torso and secured with oversized brass clasps shaped like gothic fleur-de-lis. The collar flares like armor, lined with brocade and pinned with a blood-red enamel crest. A sigil-stitched armband gleams at her shoulder, thread glinting like gold wire in low candlelight. The textures of velvet, aged leather, and heavy wool are rendered with opulent realism. The softly blurred background suggests towering cathedral arches or shadowed stone chambers, lit by wrought-iron candelabras and veiled in mist. Emphasis on noble presence, gothic opulence, and dark military elegance.
