A skeletal figure seated at an ornate desk, illuminated by the soft glow of a lantern. Their attire is intricately detailed and reminiscent of witchy academia, featuring layers of dark, flowing fabric and silver embroidery. The surroundings are enveloped in a thin veil of mist, adding a mysterious ambiance. The scene captures an intense close-up of the skeleton's intricately textured skull, the hollow eye sockets appearing contemplative. Styled in the manner of western-style portraits with Eve Ventrue's ethereal touch, the environment suggests a timeless study, where ancient tomes and mysterious artifacts are scattered across the desk.
