Using the uploaded character as the reference, create a 4x4

Using the uploaded character as the reference, create a 4x4 sprite sheet containing 16 sequential frames of one complete pixel-art combat animation. Preserve the character's hairstyle, outfit, colors, weapon, proportions, and distinctive features across every frame. Sequence: Ready stance, anticipation, sword attack, impact peak, follow-through, recovery, return to ready stance. Use actual changes in body pose and sword movement between frames. Keep the character scale and baseline consistent. Crisp 16-bit pixel art. Transparent background. Exactly 4 columns x 4 rows. No text, borders, labels, or watermarks. The final frame should transition naturally back into the first.
