Create:
1. A finished kawaii image prompt with one readable subject and consistent shape language.
2. A simplified sticker version and a small environmental version.
3. A palette and proportion guide that can be reused for a matching set.
4. A negative prompt for copied mascots, clutter, mixed line weights, extra limbs, illegible text, logos, and watermarks.
5. Notes on silhouette, facial clarity, edge quality, color separation, and readability at icon size.
6. An originality check that removes recognizable franchise or brand elements.

Keep the charm in the pose and proportions rather than adding random decorative objects.
