Gothic Anime Witch Library Ensemble

A lavish dark fantasy anime illustration of 11 elegant young women gathered in a grand gothic library at night, composed like an elite magical academy coven portrait. The room is filled wall-to-wall with towering wooden bookshelves, rolling ladders, crimson velvet banners with occult gold sigils, carved paneling, candlelight, a warm table lamp on the far left, red upholstered armchairs and sofas, stacked antique books, potion bottles, crystal orbs, brass instruments, and a tall arched window showing a deep violet night sky. The overall palette is black, crimson, gold, and purple, with dramatic low-key lighting, rich shadows, glossy highlights, and a luxurious, sinister atmosphere. All 11 characters wear coordinated occult-school uniforms: black tailored jackets with gold embroidery and crest details, white shirts, red ties or ribbons, layered belts and chains, short skirts or fitted bottoms, black thigh-high stockings, and black capes lined in dark red. Place 3 seated prominently in the middle on ornate red chairs and sofa, 3 in the back row standing among the shelves, 3 in the front row on the floor or leaning close to the table, and 2 reclining at the far left and far right edges. Vary their hair colors and styles across the group, including {argument name="hair color" default="blonde"}, silver, black, red, blue, brown, and purple; use long wavy hair, twin tails, straight long hair, side ponytail, and loose layered cuts. Give each woman a calm, confident, slightly dangerous expression, as if they are genius witches or aristocratic students. Count and include 6 clearly visible magical effects or props being actively handled: 1 red flame floating above a raised hand in the back center, 1 glowing purple orb held by a standing girl near the upper right center, 1 swirling purple magic circle over an open book at the lower left, 1 faint purple arcane flame near the lap of the seated silver-haired girl on the right-center, 1 dark violet smoky aura around the far-right reclined girl, and 1 glowing purple crystal lamp or alchemical vessel on the central coffee table. Also include 4 additional glass vessels in the foreground and side tables: 1 crystal ball at the bottom left, 1 tall red potion bottle at the bottom right, and 2 smaller laboratory bottles beside it. Add multiple open and closed grimoires across laps, tables, and the floor, with at least 8 visible books in total. The central focal character is a poised blonde girl seated in the largest armchair, legs crossed, hand near her face, framed as the leader.
