Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - The Wise Scholar: A robust man in his 60s with a bald head, a short, neatly groomed white beard, and warm, expressive brown eyes surrounded by laugh lines.

Standing centrally in the middle of ancient stone ruins with overgrown vines, bathed in soft, diffused overcast light. He holds himself with undeniable dignity, projecting an energy of total acceptance and joyful resilience despite his humble attire.
