Solemn Knight on Ashen Battlefield

Create a dark cinematic fantasy portrait in a vertical 9:16 frame: a solemn {argument name="character gender" default="female"} knight stands in left profile on a scorched battlefield, head bowed and eyes downcast, conveying grief and exhaustion after battle. She wears polished but battle-worn dark steel plate armor with engraved details, layered gauntlets and greaves, and a long heavy {argument name="cape color" default="deep burgundy"} cloak draped from her shoulders and trailing to the ground. Her {argument name="hair color" default="blonde"} hair is braided in a medieval style with loose strands blowing around her face. One long sword is held point-down in front of her, its tip planted in the black ash-covered earth. The background is a desolate volcanic war-torn landscape with muddy ridges, smoke, drifting embers, small orange fires, distant ruined castle towers on the right, and low mountains fading into haze. Above her, dramatic storm clouds fill the sky with a bright opening of pale light behind the clouds, creating a subtle halo and rim light on the armor. Use realistic high-detail digital painting, cinematic lighting, muted charcoal gray and blue tones contrasted with warm ember glows, shallow atmospheric depth, soft fog, no text, no watermark, no modern objects.
