Xiapu Chronicles — 嘉茂渊子 Expression & Action Review Kit

Review the complete 嘉茂渊子 expression and action kit from Xiapu Chronicles: four locked-face portraits (listening, insight, council pressure, rare softness) and four 3:4 action poses (shrine fortune, council address, archive reading, off-duty letter) on one shareable hand-drawn page.
Final Product: Xiapu Chronicles — 嘉茂渊子 Expression & Action Review Kit




Xiapu Chronicles — 嘉茂渊子 Expression & Action Review Kit (霞浦纪事|嘉茂渊子 锁脸表情 + 动作检阅页) is a browser-based character reference page for 霞浦纪事 (Xiapu Chronicles), the five-volume Japanese-style campus-mystery IP. It gathers the finished look of a single character — 嘉茂渊子, the student-council member with an onmyōdō family line and a formidably quiet eye — onto one sheet: four 1:1 expression avatars and four 3:4 action poses, every one of them rendered against the same accepted face lock.
The expressions run from 垂眼静听 (eyes lowered, listening to the part of a request that was never said aloud) to 抬眼看破 (the lift of the gaze at the instant a clue lands), with 会长压迫 and a 罕见柔和 that almost, but not quite, warms. The actions let the costume change while the face does not: a shrine miko offering a drawn fortune slip, the council president addressing an assembly, a cardigan-and-shelf archive pose, and an off-duty morning letter read at a window.
From a one-line seed about a novel its author had been writing for years, Neta Studio built the canon-aligned world — and then rendered and locked this whole reference kit, with the real prompts and a real share link, in minutes.

Features
- Four Locked-Face Expression Avatars — 垂眼静听, 抬眼看破, 会长压迫 and 罕见柔和, delivered as square 1:1 bust portraits cropped friendly to a circular avatar. They are built as a set of contrasting states, so the page doubles as a face-range test for the character.
- Four Wardrobe-Swappable Action Poses — 神社占卜 (miko, offering an omikuji with both hands), 会长致辞 (at the podium with a council sash), 整理典籍 (reaching for a book in the home archive) and 私服读信 (off-duty, reading a letter by a window), each a 3:4 waist-up illustration with room to recompose.
- One Identity Held Across Every Costume — The face, straight bangs, deep calm downcast eyes and overall identity are locked to the accepted reference; only the clothing changes. A miko robe, a council sash, a cardigan and a private outfit never turn her into a different girl.
- Hand-Drawn Watercolour Baseline — The kit is rendered in the series’ own soft coloured lineart with a visibly hand-drawn watercolour finish — pencil-textured uneven linework, feathered washes, clear paper grain — matching the 奈惠 and 桐华 reference sheets.
- A Readable Reference Sheet, Not a Spreadsheet — Expressions sit on a warm conic-gradient ring, actions on a 3:4 grid, and every card carries a one-line purpose note, so a writer, artist or game team can read the kit at a glance.
- Static, Fast and Shareable — A single HTML page with no build step and no login. Open it on desktop or mobile, and share the whole reference kit with one link.

Production Process Breakdown
The world of 霞浦纪事 is built from a one-line seed about a novel its author had been writing for years: an overview, a core conflict about how words connect, mislead and rescue people, and a visual style — soft coloured lineart, hand-drawn quality, soft pastel palette. It carries 76 canon atoms across 21 characters, 14 locations, 17 events, 16 lore notes and 8 reading perspectives. This kit is anchored on one character atom, 嘉茂渊子, and on her accepted identity cover.
Eight pieces are rendered from the character atom: four 1:1 expression avatars built as a set of deliberately contrasting states, and four 3:4 waist-up action poses that change the costume but never the identity. Each prompt supplies the accepted cover as a face lock and names the emotion, the pose, the prop and the light temperature.
Every frame is QA-checked for a consistent face, clean hands and no readable text. The waist-up poses and the key expression states are then passed through a BiRefNet background-removal pass to produce transparent PNG sprites that drop straight into a page, a document or a game build.
The portraits, actions and reference cover are laid out as a single static page in the world’s own reading palette — circular avatar rings for expressions, a 3:4 grid for actions, and a one-line note under each card — then opened in a real browser, screenshotted and published to a stable share link.

"16:9 landscape cinematic key-art cover for a character reference feature page in the 霞浦纪事 / XIAPU CHRONICLE Japanese campus-mystery IP. Foreground hero: @嘉茂渊子, a calm Japanese high school girl with shoulder-length straight black hair, straight bangs, dark calm slightly downcast eyes, pale reserved face, blue blazer over a white shirt with a grey-pink knit vest, brown ribbon tie and green plaid skirt: shown twice, echoing a character-sheet reference kit — once as a centered circular portrait bust listening quietly with lowered eyes, and once as a waist-up figure at the side holding an old letter. Around her, a clean character-reference-kit layout feel: a discreet 2x2 grid of small expression thumbnails and a row of action-pose silhouettes suggested as pale paper cards on a warm cream background, painterly rather than literal UI. Soft motifs: folded letters, a paper bookmark, pale sage leaves, faint dust motes. STYLE: soft colored lineart illustration, hand-drawn anime quality, gentle uneven linework with subtle ink weight; soft pastel palette (muted sky blue, warm cream, faded rose, sage green, paper beige); diffused afterschool light, soft shadows, slight paper grain; calm slice-of-life mystery mood, restrained and literary; clean composition, generous negative space. No text, no lettering, no logos, no watermark, no extra fingers, no malformed hands, no photorealism, no harsh contrast. Landscape 16:9."
