Line 135:
* [[Animal-Eared Headband]]: More like Animal-eared Hoodie, but it's still there.
* [[Animal Motifs]]: Rabbits. Her hood has bunny ears on it. Plus, the "zuki" in her name means [[Moon Rabbit|moon.]]
*[[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: The lyrics of coorosii's [[All lowercase letters|"the girl locked below"]] imply she's this.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]
* [[Hair Decorations]]
Line 297:
* [[Noodle People]]: The style of his box art.
* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]: In the vids he's allowed to look like a badass.
* [[Stepford Smiler]] / [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]]: A popular [[Alternative Character Interpretation]] to complement his usual characterization as a [[The Ditz|ditzy]] [[The Pollyanna|Pollyanna]]. His version of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0uU2PZVfM8&feature=related Uninstall] gets altered lyrics and a small PV.
* [[Team Dad]]: In [[Fanon]], if only by seniority.
* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: In [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8boT8ZPwVI this parody] of Rin Kagamine's "Meltdown".
Line 348:
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Negi/Leek. It came from her cover of the Ievan Polka, in which she discredited the Leekspin meme from [[Bleach|Orihime]] and made it her own. Along with the leeks she also has a fondness for bacon wrapped hotdogs [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIxI1eB2-vo&feature=relmfu according to the Toyota ads].
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: Miku Append, where she received an update that consisted of six new voicebanks: Soft, Sweet, Dark, Vivid, Solid, and Light. All of which reflect her moods and gives her more vocal range.
* [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]]: Most notably in the song ''ACUTE,'' but if she's in a scenario where she loves KAITO and she gets rejected in favor of someone else, there will be pain.
** Unless it happens to be with Len, in which case it turns into a [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]] situation.
** ''Rotten Girl, Grotesque Romance'' deserves a special mention [[Moral Event Horizon|mention]]. The [[Hell Is That Noise|meow]] doesn't help.
Line 411:
* [[The Ojou]]: Rin in the Story of Evil series.
** Heck, the song itself refers to her as "Ojou-sama".
* [[Token Mini-MoeLoli]]: Both of them among the Cryptonloids, but Len especially.
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: The Kagamine Rin/Len Append.
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: They tend to be this in the darker songs. Usually, it's Rin (''Evil series'', ''Fear Garden'' and ''Thirteen Year Old Killer'') but Len has played this role in ''The Riddle Solver Who Couldn't Solve Riddles'', ''Spice!'' and ''Psychotic Love Song'' and ''both'' of them have played this in ''Trick and Treat.''
Line 454:
** A beta version sample can be found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lJlktbu9b8&feature=related here]
* [[Whip It Good]]: One of her character items is a whip.
* [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]]: Just as common as the [[Tsundere]] interpretation, almost on par with how often Miku plays the role. Most notable are [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6wlaBSwI8w The Tailor Shop On Enobizaka] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9wvWfCBedw RIP=RELEASE].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY60xu-Bm00 Love Disease]. (Warning: The image is [[Nightmare Fuel]] for some).
* [[Victoria's Secret Compartment]]: Hides a fork in her bra in the PV for "Go Google It"—which she uses to stab Gakupo in the hand.
Line 549:
* [[Tsundere]] / [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: General consensus is that Lily is a kind of person who can be cold and openly bad-mouthing someone's attributes but also compassionate and sensitive of other's plight, especially if it's involving the Internet Co.'s Vocaloids.
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: Confirmed to get one in the eventual future.
* [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]]: One of her first major hits, "Chloe", is a yandere song. Here comes ''yet another one,'' folks.
** "Marie-Luise", which was made by sele-P like "Chloe" also is an example, albeit with [[Incompatible Orientation]] & [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]] involved.

A description of the character is needed here. A list of tropes is not a character description.
 
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}

* [[Bifauxnen]]: Looks quite masculine in her V4.
* [[Kuudere]]: According to her official bio.
* [[Gayngst]]: One of the many reasons for her suicide in ''Abnormality Dancing Girl'' is that she’s in love with the [[Alpha Bitch]].
* [[I Just Want to Be Special]]: ''Abnormality Dancing Girl'' portrays this as one of the reasons for her suicide.
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]: Her V3.
* [[The Ophelia]]: In ''Appetite of a People Pleaser'' and '''especially''' in ''Abnormality Dancing Girl.''
 
== The Japanese Vocaloids (Individual) ==
Line 714 ⟶ 730:
==== Aoki Lapis ====
[[File:aoki 620.jpg|thumb|200px]]
Another vocaloid using the Vocaloid 3 engine, released on April 6, 2012. Her style of music is known as "lifestyle", and that she will be targeted towards casual Vocaloid users. The project leaders, comprising of the Surfer's Paradise search engine, the anime studio Studio Deen, and [[Nico Nico Douga]], sent out a call for NicoNico users to "audition" by submitting a song they believed would suit Lapis, with a chance to become her actual voice. The role of her seiyuu was eventually awarded to an Utatte-mita singer<ref>Utattemita is a category on NND used by people performing covers of various songs</ref> named [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20200408234656/https://account.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15956765login?site=niconico&time=1586389616&hash_key=bdf0979e&next_url=%2Fwatch%2Fsm15956765 Eguchi Nako].
 
She has at least two demos so far, which can be viewed [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4n8hbFr1xY here] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdISxY6Q0Ew here]. Since her commercial release she's had an explosion of cover songs, most of them quite well made.
Line 745 ⟶ 761:
* [[Mad Dreamer]]: She is usually interpreted as a more serene version of this trope, but it still fits.
* [[Naive Newcomer]]: Another fanon interpretation of her, given that she is a relatively new Vocaloid and is strong, honest, and optimistic.
* [[The Ophelia]]: [[Mad Dreamer]], [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]], [[Cloudcuckoolander]], and [[Messy Hair]]? She fits.
* [[Plucky Girl]]
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]
Line 757 ⟶ 774:
[[File:sweet ann 8006.jpg|thumb|200px]]
 
The fourth English Vocaloid, the first Vocaloid released by PowerFX, and the first Vocaloid released for the Vocaloid2 engine,<ref>although not in Japan, where Miku was first</ref> Sweet Ann is voiced by an Australian singer under the stage name of "Jody".
 
[[Fanon]] portrays her as an elegant woman. She isoriginally used to oftenbe made fun of for the stitches on her neck (PowerFX is fond of making "monster" Vocaloids) and the fact that the lighting on her boxart makes her look like she got a bad fake tan, but these memes have mostly fallen to the wayside these days in favour of more flattering depictions.
 
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Blue Eyes]]: More obvious with her E-capsule design, while her original is more of a green with a blue tint.
* [[Darkskinned Blonde]]: And often depicted with [[Princess Curls]].
* [[MamaBear]]: Canonically very protective of Oliver (well, if you consider Oliver's Twitter to be canon in the first place, at least).
* [[Nice Hat]]: A nice,snazzy white cowboy hat in her E-capsule design.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: The ''Madness of Duke Venomania'' PV says she's 62. [[Subverted Trope|Canonically (at least in the Taiwan version), she's 23.]]
* [[Phenotype Stereotype]]: Even in Taiwan, Sweet Ann can not't escape being portrayed as a blond-haired blue eyed American cowgirl by some means. This continues despite the fact thatwhen her origins are actually Swedish.
* [[Punny Name]]: Sweet Ann = Sweden.
* [[Shout-Out]]: She's the [[Bride of Frankenstein|bride]] to Big Al's [[Frankenstein's Monster|monster]].
* [[Steampunk]]: E-capsule Sweet Ann givesmight give off this impression to viewersa few people.
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Her design being based off 1930s actress and jazz singer [https://web.archive.org/web/20150801202326/http://lena-horne.com/ Lena Horne] helps, although it adds some [[Unfortunate Implications]] given that Horne [[Race Lift|was black]].
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: [[Unfortunate Implications|Chicken drumstick]].

* [[Bandage Babe|Bandage Boy]]: He has bandages covering his feet and left eye., Thewhich the artist noted that it's was to substitute the stitches in the previous PowerFX characters.
* [[Cherubic Choir]]: He ''can'' be used to make one, but since he was programmed as a solo voice, it'll take a lot of extra time and effort.
* [[Child Soldier]]: His official design gives off vibes of this. And he has [[Fridge Horror|bandages on his legs and left eye]]... Nah, just kidding. It's actually based off of the [[wikipedia:Vienna Boys' Choir|Vienna Boys' Choir]]

** It's based off the [[wikipedia:Vienna Boys' Choir|Vienna Boy's Choir]]
* [[Creepy Child]]: Plenty of songs gleefully exploit this trope's potential for all it's worth by using his soft, high-pitched voice as setup for loads of [[Lyrical Dissonance]].
* [[Cool Pet]]: Possibly the bird. In tribute to Oliver's co-creators in the U.S., it's an American goldfinch.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: He has a bandage over his left eye.
* [[Eyes of Gold]]: At leastWell, one of them.., at least.
* [[Foot Focus]]: After releasing a silhouetted version of Oliver, the artist stated that [http://vocaloidotaku.net/index.php?/topic/23564-vocaloid3-oliver/page__view__findpost__p__620066 he looked too girly with shoes]{{Dead link}}, so they were scrapped.

=== Zero-G ===
Line 861 ⟶ 881:
The first Vocaloid2-engine Vocaloid by Zero-G and the fifth English Vocaloid, Prima is built almost entirely for opera songs. Thus, she sings with deep vowels and rolls her consonants.
 
[[Fanon]] portrays her as a classy, rich woman, although software pirates tend to think of her as a [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]] since she sometimes kills illegal versions of the software.
 
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
Line 875 ⟶ 895:
* [[Unusual Ears]]: E-capsule Prima sports a pair of headphones with pointing speaker ears. No one is quite sure if they are Fox ears, Cat ears or Wolf ears. Though the most popular assumption is fox.
* [[Vocal Dissonance]]: Much like the popular teenager design spawned from the Japanese fandom, E-capsule Prima was designed to appear as a young female (18 in fact). In the Western fandom such portrayals are criticized as some believe it doesn't fit her voice.
* [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]]: She's portrayed as one by the Western fandom, mainly those who tried to pirate her and the software with a wrong cracking code, making it unusable; they interpreted it as Prima being yandere and taking everybody with her.
