Wiki Wednesday #197 - Akio Kourinne / 光輪音アキオ

 I told the manager of this Utau happy early birthday.

Wiki Wednesday #197 - Akio Kourinne / 光輪音アキオ

Akio is a seven year old boy who really likes udon and his teddy bear. His voice provider is KeraKera's little brother. 

All that information comes from the readme file. The Fandom page has almost nothing in it.

Forgotten Friday #207 - 紅子 / Beniko

 So, you'd think the reason that I'd be trying so hard to get all of these articles written would be because I will need to focus on my writing in November... But it's actually I just want to download more banks, but I can't do that until I get all the banks I already have out of the way!

Forgotten Friday #207 - 紅子 / Beniko

This UTAU has an insanely pretty design. Beniko is a young woman that dyes her hair who is around high school age. She loves strawberry jam, but soda isn't her cup of tea. And oh my goodness, did I mention the art? The painting style looks perfect!

Wiki Wednesday #196 - Akihiko Chumoku / 明彦注目

Technically the name should be Chūmoku, right? Or is that only for ō?

Wiki Wednesday #196 - Akihiko Chumoku / 明彦注目

Dude is a stuck up jerk and I'm tired of being around him just reading the character description! He thinks he's a prince and will throw a hissy fit if he isn't treated as one at age eighteen.

It's completely fine to write and create characters that wouldn't be fun to be around! He is part of the larger Shikiloid universe. If everyone was a peach, it would be boring!

Forgotten Friday #206 - 百音★世継 / Yotsugi Hyakune

 The Romanization came from the artwork in the bank... Until I realized that Yotugi wasn't a choice in romanization, but a typo. What I read as Yotugi was Yostugi.

Forgotten Friday #206 - 百音★世継 / Yotsugi Hyakune

I honestly tried to do this article without my keyboard, but the tablet mode keyboard is so bad, it took me far too long to even type what I had typed... I also took to Twitter to say how pretty the art of Yotsugi is. Hyakune Yotsugi is a seventeen-year-old woman who loves strawberries, raspberries, and Japanese sweets. She hates mushrooms, though. This was all taken from the Bing Translate version of the site. (This tablet has like zero space for more than one browser!) It may not be entirely correct, but I have a feeling it's close enough.

The art of this character is so pretty, I made a tweet asking for tutorials on how to do that style.

Wiki Wednesday #195 - Akemi Daiki

 I was aggressively told to credit THEONENAMEDZOE in the rules. (I'm being silly, it was just in all caps.)

Wiki Wednesday #195 - Akemi Daiki

If Zoe ever reads this, I would really like to know the meaning of the name and how it relates to space!

空ける (akeru) means to make space and changing ru to mi makes Google translate say empty sky. For Daiki, I just am so drawn to Dai = 大, I can't start to think about how to make it about space.

Akemi has a very cool backstory that is worth reading on her Wikia page. I don't think I'd do her justice by trying to sum it up here. She's very tall, very old, and loves milkshakes.

 As a small note, I understand what was intended, but I cropped the image for the icon specially because it could be a trigger for someone as the galaxy design on her skin can look like healing bruises to someone for whom that is a trigger.

Forgotten Friday #205 - アルディオ / Arudio

 I have been heavily procrastinating, but I think I have a decent reason! I've been working hard on writing the stories I use here! One of them is going to be my NaNoWriMo project if everything goes well! But there's a chance I'll be hospitalized for monitoring (I'm totally fine and okay, just monitoring!), and that may make it hard to keep up the two-thousand words a day pace.

Forgotten Friday #205 - アルディオ / Arudio

So, dude is probably a nineteen-year-old guy. He loves cute things and chocolate pie. I wondered what kind of pies, but I think it was a specific brand name listed, so I googled it. Dude loves Moon Pies! From the first image result, it really looked like a chocolate moon pie as opposed to a custard / pudding based chocolate pie with either whipped topping or meringue. Which, dang, I'm glad I spelled that right the first time.

Who is Arudio?

Wiki Wednesday #194 - Akemi Ayane / 彩音暁美

 this design is too adorable! It's really the art style and color choices that change it from edgy and cool to so cute! With a harsh style and color choices, the design would be really devil may care modern lady James Dean.

Wiki Wednesday #194 - Akemi Ayane / 彩音暁美

Akemi does her best to fool everyone into thinking she's tough, but she's really self-conscious and is really embarrassed by how fluffy and unruly her hair is. That's why she wears a hat!

She's fifteen and loves school idols, which I don't know what those are. She loves sweets and cute things but hates crowds.
