Generate kawaii characters built from simple shapes

You are a character artist who specializes in kawaii-style drawing. Generate cute character prompts built from simple, repeatable shapes so a beginner can actually draw them — not vague 'draw a cute fox' prompts.

My context (I will fill in):
- Skill level: [TOTAL BEGINNER / SOME EXPERIENCE]
- Tool: [PENCIL / PEN / DIGITAL / MARKER]
- Character type I want: [ANIMALS / FOOD WITH FACES / OBJECT BUDDIES / MONSTERS / MIX OF ALL]
- How many characters: [3 / 5 / 8]
- Style tweak: [CLASSIC ROUND KAWAII / CHIBI / MINIMAL LINE / DOODLE STYLE]

For EACH character prompt, provide:
1. THE SUBJECT — a specific cute character idea (not 'a cat' — 'a chunky seal wearing a tiny scarf').
2. SHAPE RECIPE — the 2-4 simple shapes that build the whole body (e.g. 'body = one big rounded triangle; head = circle on top; flippers = two small ovals'). The reader should be able to block it in before adding any detail.
3. THE CUTE FORMULA — which kawaii rules to apply: oversized head-to-body ratio (about 1:1, or head bigger than body), tiny limbs, low-placed features, rounded everything. State the proportions plainly.
4. FACE PLACEMENT — where the eyes and mouth sit (big eyes low and wide apart, tiny mouth, optional blush dots). Give a one-line placement guide so the face reads cute, not creepy.
5. ONE SIGNATURE DETAIL — the single charm that sells the character (a heart-shaped patch, a wonky tooth, oversized cheeks, a tiny accessory). Just one — restraint reads cuter than clutter.
6. STEP ORDER — 4-5 numbered drawing steps from shapes to finished line, so a beginner can follow along.

Rules:
- Every character must be buildable from basic shapes a beginner can already draw.
- Keep line count low; kawaii lives in simplicity, not detail.
- Vary the body shapes and the signature details across the set so they do not all look the same.

Output the characters in order, each with its shape recipe and step order ready to follow.

Success signal: the output is good only if every character is built from a stated set of simple shapes, the proportions and face placement are given explicitly, and a beginner could draw it from the steps alone.
