The ears were replaced by black headsets with a blue fox on it.
The alternative design featured DAINA without her fox ears and tail. This was done to appeal to non Japanese-styled art fans. ĭAINA was also given an alternative design with slight changes to the original, but still retains the theme of The Fox and The Hound. The animal traits were added to make the designs unique and to introduce something new in the VOCALOID franchise. The choice was made to give a twist of the popular Nekomimi design seen in SeeU and Nekomura Iroha.ĪkiGlancy said they knew many would not like the designs and focused on the vocals instead. What's more, "Daina" means "song" in Lithuanian.ĭAINA made her debut as a kemonomimi modeled after a fox. However, it was not Lupin's original intention. AkiGlancy and the staff members of Zero-G thought it was a reference to Dinah, a cat owned by Alice from the series, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". It was also chosen because it sounded whimsical. Etymology Īccording to Lupin, he was the one who proposed DAINA's name in both writing and pronunciation.
The design was chosen after the team adored the primary sketches of the pair from EmissarySteel. Initially, it was treated as a light-hearted concept. The theme of "fox and hound" was one of many suggestions put forward, but one the group became fond of. AkiGlancy chose red hair and the blue and white colors for DAINA. When asked about the aims of both VOCALOIDs, they were described to be aimed towards fans and designed to give producers with the voices they needed. He also noted that DEX and DAINA were a pair, but not twins. Lupin stated that he thought DAINA was what Zero-G wanted to achieve with SONiKA. They were intended to be counterparts that complement each other. DAINA and DEX were given the theme, ' The Fox and the Hound', at the suggestion of Lupin.
