+Create ONE REGULAR 2x2 GRID with FOUR EQUAL CELLS and clear fixed boundaries.
+This is a transparent-ready 2D game character sheet, not a scene.
+Use a solid bright magenta #FF00FF background across the whole canvas.
+Every subject is fully inside its cell with generous padding and must not cross
+cell boundaries. No text, labels, UI, scenery, ground, shadows or extra figures.
+
+Use the attached approved Q-style calibration board only to match its compact
+Japanese hand-drawn mobile RPG language: super-deformed proportions, large
+expressive face, short body, clean dark ink contour, warm cel shading, bright
+painted colors, friendly readable silhouette at small size. Do not copy any
+character or layout from the reference.
+
+TOP-LEFT: canonical chibi shield guardian idle, front three-quarter view,
+navy-and-cream armor, round shield with a small gold four-point crest, short
+brown hair, cheerful confident expression, complete body from head to boots.
+TOP-RIGHT: canonical chibi wind mage idle, front three-quarter view, navy and
+lavender robe, oversized soft witch hat, small wooden staff, light silver hair,
+cheerful confident expression, complete body from head to boots.
+BOTTOM-LEFT: the EXACT SAME shield guardian identity as TOP-LEFT, friendly
+recruit-card pose with shield lowered and one hand raised, same outfit, colors,
+face, proportions and outline.
+BOTTOM-RIGHT: the EXACT SAME wind mage identity as TOP-RIGHT, friendly
+recruit-card pose with staff angled outward and one hand raised, same outfit,
+colors, face, proportions and outline.
+
+Keep all four figures compact and consistently scaled, with feet aligned to a
+shared visual baseline inside each cell. No pixel art, no 3D render, no realism,
+no gradients that erase the ink contour, no duplicate limbs, no cropped anatomy.
