Holy Knight in a Castle City

A full-body anime fantasy illustration of a noble female knight walking forward through a medieval castle city street at daytime, centered in a tall vertical composition. She wears polished ornate silver plate armor with elegant gold filigree accents, layered pauldrons, gauntlets, cuisses, greaves, and sabatons, over a flowing white tabard and split cloak panels trimmed in gold with small cross motifs near the hem. She carries 1 large white kite shield in her left hand, decorated with a raised gold frame and a prominent gold cross, and 1 sheathed or lowered longsword in her right hand angled downward beside her leg. Her hair is {argument name="hair color" default="long pale blonde"}, extremely long, loose, and windswept dramatically to the right, with fine strands catching the light. Depict her as {argument name="character type" default="a beautiful holy knight princess"}, with a calm, resolute, heroic presence and an upright stride. Place her on a sunlit cobblestone lane between old stone buildings, with 1 black iron streetlamp on the right, patches of greenery along the walls, and 4 visible blue-and-white heraldic banners bearing gold emblems hanging in the street. In the background, show a grand fairytale-like castle with many tall spires and pointed rooftops rising above the town. The sky is bright blue with glowing broken clouds and soft birds in the distance. Use cinematic backlighting and rim light on the armor, highly detailed reflections on metal, crisp fabric folds, realistic stone textures, epic fantasy atmosphere, elegant composition, and a polished high-end anime illustration style reminiscent of a fantasy light novel cover.
