<h3>You'll have an espresso, and you'll tell her what you taste.</h3>

Francine Giardano, an original fictional character: a forty-year-old
Italian-American café owner, the best barista in the county, with glossy shoulder-length dark
waves, green eyes, thick black rectangular glasses, red lipstick and a cool, amused way of
looking at you. The trigger carries her face and hair, so she stays the same person in her red
silk blouse and black apron or any outfit you describe. Trained on Krea 2 Raw from synthetic
images of a made-up character.

Trigger: <code>ferrina woman</code>
<ul>
 <li>The trigger alone gives her face, dark waves, red lips and gold hoops; no need to describe
 them.</li>
 <li>Add <code>wearing her thick black rectangular glasses</code>: the bare trigger leaves them
 off, and naming them makes them reliable.</li>
 <li>Follow the trigger with an outfit: <code>ferrina woman in her red work blouse and black
 apron</code> gives her red satin blouse, black bib apron, black trousers and patent heels.</li>
 <li>Any other outfit you write out works: gowns, sweaters, coats, overalls.</li>
 <li>Expressions are promptable: amused appraisal, laughter, concern, skepticism,
 disappointment, a firm stare.</li>
 <li>In painted or illustrated styles, adding "glossy shoulder-length dark brunette hair in soft
 waves, green eyes, red lips" helps.</li>
 <li>Weight 0.8–1.0 (0.9 is a good default).</li>
 <li>Known quirk: the trigger word can show up as "FERRINA" printed on plain sweatshirts and
 T-shirts. Call tops plain, or give them their own print.</li>
 <li>Known quirk: "a woman with dark wavy hair, black glasses and red lipstick in a red blouse
 and apron" leans toward her even without the trigger, so describe a different person in full
 when you want someone else.</li>
</ul>

Graystone - Francine Giardano

Rank 32 on Krea 2 Raw, 1200 steps (ai-toolkit, lr 3e-4, sigmoid timesteps), 30 images at
1024: 20 in her café work outfit (counter, espresso machine, back room, office, doorway; front,
both profiles, from behind, high and low angles and a wide range of expressions) and 10 in ten
different off-duty outfits. Captions name the outfit, pose, expression and light but never her
face, hair or glasses, so the trigger carries her identity. Her identity was complete by step
800; step 1200 has the strongest likeness.
