A tightly framed, highly detailed portrait of an ancient female forest guardian, shown from head to shoulders. Her body is sculpted entirely from dark, weathered wood, with a coarse, bark-like texture marked by vertical grain lines, deep cracks, and layered ridges that resemble natural tree bark. Glowing golden sap veins pulse faintly beneath the surface, branching across her collarbones in root-like patterns. Her eyes emit a soft golden light, serene and ancient. Her lips are uneven and carved from the grain itself. Her hair is composed of thick, matted dreadlocks made of fibrous, rope-like strands—twisted and organic, as if naturally formed over time. Moss grows in small patches along her shoulders and the sides of her neck, clinging to her bark like lichen on an old tree. Tiny glowing insects crawl along her dreadlocks and collarbone, emitting a soft bioluminescent glow, their wings delicate and iridescent. A simple circlet of black forest beads hangs across her forehead like a natural crown. Behind her, a softly blurred forest glows with diffused green light and drifting pollen particles. Emphasis on ancient symbiosis, natural beauty, and the quiet power of a sentient being shaped by centuries of wilderness.
