Prompt snippets

Zorro is a dashing masked hero dressed in sleek black from head to toe — a wide-brimmed hat, flowing cape, and a mask that conceals his eyes. His rapier gleams in hand, often leaving his signature “Z” carved with swift precision. With a confident stance and a hint of mischief in his smile, he embodies charm, agility, and fearless rebellion against injustice.
