Imagine this:
You’re walking through a glowing forest just after sunset. The trees sway gently, and the leaves shine with soft blue light. Fireflies float around like tiny stars. In the middle of the forest, you see something special.
A glowing blue fairy is kneeling next to a small injured cat. Her hand shines with a soft, magical light. As she gently touches the cat, the light flows into it — like healing magic. You can almost feel the warmth and emotion of the moment.
Now, here’s the twist:
You didn’t draw this. You didn’t animate it. You didn’t need Photoshop or a fancy art team.
You just wrote one sentence — a Leonardo AI prompt — and the AI created this stunning anime-style image in under a minute.
It’s beautiful, emotional, and it looks like a scene from a Studio Ghibli movie. All from one well-written prompt.

What Is a Leonardo AI Prompt — And Why It Matters
A Leonardo AI prompt is a short piece of text that tells the AI what kind of image you want to create. But it’s more than just typing a few words — it’s about painting a picture with your words.
Many people just write something basic like “cute fairy” or “fantasy forest.” These prompts might work, but the images often look plain or unfinished.
The real magic happens when you write a prompt that includes not just what’s in the scene, but also the feeling, the movement, and the atmosphere.
Think of it like writing a short scene from a movie. When your prompt includes clear details, actions, and emotions, Leonardo AI understands it better — and gives you richer, more beautiful artwork in return.
Let’s look at a real example.
The Prompt That Turned Words Into Emotion
AI Prompt Result - 01
AI Prompt Result- 02
Here’s the  prompt 01 used to create the image we described above:
A glowing blue fairy in anime style bending down and gently touching a small injured cat with her glowing hand, blue light flowing from fairy’s hand to the cat, forest background with soft magical lights, fantasy cinematic lighting, emotional scene, anime art, ultra detailed
This prompt already works well. It delivers a strong visual, introduces emotion, and includes stylistic direction. But we took it a step further.
Here’s the refined version in Prompt 02 that truly brought the scene to life:
A radiant blue fairy in detailed anime style kneeling beside a small injured cat, gently touching it with her glowing hand. Streams of shimmering blue light flow from her palm to the cat, casting a soft glow around them. The forest glows with mystical blue hues, fireflies drifting through the air, soft magical lights in the background, cinematic fantasy lighting, ultra-detailed, emotionally powerful, ethereal atmosphere.
This upgraded Leonardo AI prompt reads more like a paragraph from a fantasy novel than a list of keywords. And that’s what makes it so effective.
Why AI Prompt- 02 Works So Well
Character-Centric Design
Instead of just saying “fairy,” we guide the AI to visualize a very specific kind of character: radiant, blue-toned, gentle, and positioned in a nurturing moment. That direction brings soul to the image.
Built-In Emotion
The inclusion of an “injured cat” instantly creates empathy. It introduces narrative tension and emotional depth — both of which make viewers stop, connect, and care.
Motion & Light
Phrases like “streams of shimmering blue light” and “casting a soft glow” imply movement and interaction between character and setting. The image becomes alive rather than static.
Cinematic Composition
Terms like “cinematic lighting,” “mystical blue hues,” and “ethereal atmosphere” tell the AI how to structure the lighting, depth, and mood. Leonardo AI handles these incredibly well, especially when Alchemy Mode is enabled.
