A close-up, digital illustration of a stylized profile avatar of a [character or person], soft even light, friendly and distinctive. bold clean shapes, vibrant colors, centered composition, simple solid background. Framed in a 1:1 aspect ratio. Do not include: busy background, text, tiny details, clutter.

Why this prompt works
Avatars are viewed tiny, so the prompt asks for one bold subject and strong shapes over fine detail.
A named illustration style keeps the result cohesive instead of a muddy mix.
Busy backgrounds and text are excluded because they turn to mush at avatar size.
