Axfc is a jerk. Here's my post on how to get downloads from there to work.

Multi-pitch CVVC banks do not work properly with the shareware A for automatic button!! Any articles where I complain about CVVC banks being broken is my own fault for not figuring it out sooner!!

Forgotten Friday #227 - 常托莉 / Tori Chang

 I am in fact being a silly pants and seeing how much of these articles I can do on my phone.

Forgotten Friday #227 - 常托莉 / Tori Chang

I'll be real with you: when I'm in a bad place, lists are my favorite thing. I made a Mandarin list, I've made a Cantonese list..
 But whatever list it is, it is so hard to find people to record it! I was really lucky with my Mandarin list in finding people to help, but even when they helped, I wished I could help give Tori her promised Chinese bank. We were promised a new bank in 2011, but it never came through. The voice provider, Kimchicake, seems to have been missing since the beginning of 2019.

Tori is a tsundere young woman from Singapore who likes bad puns. 

The icon in her bank looks nothing like the one on the wikia. However, there was a now unavailable file that included new art and character information. All of the old art seems to have been scrubbed from the Internet.

Wiki Wednesday #216 - Aoi Homura

 Still utterly frustrated with the format of the Fandom pages being changed. The only reason I figured she was a woman before opening her readme was the fact that she / her pronouns were used. (Note: her character sheet included in the gallery includes the information from her readme, but I didn't realize the text was there until I clicked on it to get an icon for this article.) I get "look at her, she is obvs female presenting," but it's nice to know for a fact that I'm using the right gender. Also, would the creator have come up with a Japanese name if there was a blank to fill out that said Japanese name?

Wiki Wednesday #216 - Aoi Homura

I complained a lot before the header even showed up, but yeah. Her ears are wings and she is a tsundere who likes reading. Her design is really pretty.

Note: I literally know nothing about Gummy-P / Stormbullets aside from the fact that their Twitter account has been suspended. They might be out here doing evil things, but they could be a good person who got hacked. I really don't know because all I can see is a suspended Twitter account.

Forgotten Friday #226 - Sheridan's Nevan

 I almost missed a week because things are not good. Don't worry about me, it will get better, but things really, really suck right now.

Forgotten Friday #226 - Sheridan's Nevan

He is a truly unnatural understanding, apparently. He has no personality and likes nothing, but he dislikes humans and his character item is diesel. He is an AI created by scientists, but he ran away and hid from them. His bank was made by modifying samples in Audacity to be robotic and his family name is Harret.

Wiki Wednesday #215 - Ao Shiro Murasaki / Ao Murasaki / 青さ玲葉で津

 Still Mae, amaezingly.

Wiki Wednesday #215 - Ao Shiro Murasaki / Ao Murasaki / 青さ玲葉で津

This UTAU is confusing, She is a seventeen year old cat person, apparently? To find art of her that wasn't a tiny, cropped icon, I had to visit her creator's deviantArt page. There's an UTAU named Ao Kurai that looks almost exactly like her?! I think she likes Japanese swords and cats, but I don't think she likes sushi.

Apparently there was a contest to rename and redesign her, but I found no information on it. I believe she is from Mexico.

Forgotten Friday #225 - Harley Poole

Mental illness be hard.

Forgotten Friday #225 - Harley Poole

Harley does have a listed birthday, including the year. December 18, 1995, with the date being the same as her release date. She was fifteen when she was created, and now she would be like thirty years old.

Her name and her creator's name are the same, so as a 90's kid, I'm instantly worried about the creator's safety as we were taught to never use our real names online... But then Facebook happened and legal names were suddenly okay to share!

Harley is extremely nice and loves stuffed animals. She is very happy at all times, and only dislikes when girls are given boy names. That is just because she has something she considers a boy name. Though, if I asked you to name someone named Harley, your first thought would probably be the fictional woman, Harley Quinn.

Wiki Wednesday #214 - Amy Murasaki

 There is irony in the fact that getting these articles written is the most important thing right now, but I'm writing them to procrastinate doing less important things.

Wiki Wednesday #214 - Amy Murasaki

I miss the original format of the Wikia / Fandom. People complain that the table looks bad and outdated, but all of the information was easy to locate and it forced people to actually input data and think about things that the new format just doesn't force at all.

I think this UTAU is from Argentina, and she has two catchphrases: "You are sweet" and "Don't give up now". She's fifteen, and the only reason I knew her gender was just assuming because "she / her" pronouns were used. Who made her? The Wikia doesn't say, because no one forced them to say. The Wiki Dot forces the input of that information!

She does have a readme file in Spanish. I speak no Spanish, so I'm just going to guess what it means. She is actually fourteen according to the readme and created by Lulita12. She likes singing, k-pop, and the colors black and purple. The only dislike I understood was math. I slapped it into Bing translate to learn that she is kind and shy when trying to make new friends.

Forgotten Friday #224 - Lea Ryoumine / 涼味音 レア

 I just woke up and my brain isn't fully here.

Forgotten Friday #224 - Lea Ryoumine / 涼味音 レア

Lea was the first FRAloid and was definitely intended to have a French bank initially, but she was created at a time when other languages in UTAU weren't really a thing. 

In 2014, as part of the FRAloid revision, she was given a new design. She is a sweet and gentle sixteen year old girl, though I wouldn't guess that age from the artwork. Her original artwork was much less polished, but I did think it matched the age more closely.

Wiki Wednesday #213 - Amaya Heikatsu / 平滑天谷

All my imaginary friends went missing - it's just me up here.

Wiki Wednesday #213 - Amaya Heikatsu / 平滑天谷

Amaya is a sixteen year old woman who is very mean. She loves pudding and alpacas but hates milk and zebras. She does not understand zebras.

The first time I read her page, I laughed a little. A thing about being agender is that you owe no one androgyny. Wearing a binder for your chest all day every day can be very dangerous. You can be non-binary and agender and still have a chest. However, this UTAU was meant to represent androgyny... Until the creator accidentally gave her boobs.
