Use the uploaded reference image as the only source for the character’s appearance.

Create a 3x3 expression sheet of the same person, showing nine different facial expressions in a clean grid layout. Preserve the exact same facial features, hairstyle, hair color, skin tone, face shape, makeup style, body proportions, and clothing from the reference image. The character must look like the same person in every panel, with consistent outfit, accessories, hairstyle, and overall appearance.

Each panel should show an upper-body portrait against a simple clean background, with the character facing the camera. Keep the lighting, camera angle, and art style consistent across all nine panels.

Expressions:
1. gentle smile
2. happy smile
3. surprised
4. shy
5. serious
6. slightly angry
7. worried
8. laughing
9. embarrassed
