Create an ethereal, dreamy background as the main focus, emphasizing mood over character-centric elements. Use a minimalistic style with a spacious composition, featuring soft, pastel, cool-toned colors, gentle gradients, and subtle textures with mild brush effects. The mood should be calm, peaceful, and lightly surreal, drawing inspiration from anime backgrounds, modern fantasy landscapes, and foggy scenery. Apply digital illustration and painterly techniques with gradient blending. Ensure the color palette harmonizes without overpowering, using soft, diffused natural lighting.
