This repository reference describes the イーライ voicebank line as a continuously developing artistic project. Each generation carries the same voicebank lineage forward through new recordings, new expression and new visual presentation.

## Personal / artistic context

The voicebank's gender expression has developed together with its real voice provider. The original イーライ emerged from a more masculine vocal and visual position. With 茜音イーライ, the voice became noticeably more feminine, queer and gender-nonconforming. 暁 continues that movement further.

The real voice provider, Ilya Minin (Eli), has come to understand himself as non-binary and is finding a place between genders. The voicebank is one artistic record of that process: a gradual movement away from a masculine origin that no longer feels representative and toward a more androgynous, queer and fluid expression.

## Personality

茜音イーライ and 暁 are scruffy, bright-eyed tinkers who wander through drafts and blueprints, editing reality with oversized scissors. Hyperactive and grinning on the surface, the voice remains warm and textured underneath. Fast rambling speech, glitched laughter and sudden changes in register are part of the character's language.

## Description

The visual design evolves with the voice. The original イーライ established the first silhouette. 茜音イーライ introduced a more feminine and queer presentation. 暁 is designed to push the character further into theatrical, playful and gender-nonconforming territory.

He is nicknamed 怪人ハサミ (Kaijin Hasami, “Scissor Kaijin”), a trickster who snips awkward silences and bad takes out of reality, leaving jump cuts, déjà vu and seams that do not quite line up.

## Voicebank / technical

The released 茜音イーライ bank is a Japanese CVVC voicebank with three pitches: A3 / F3 / C3. It has improved phoneme clarity compared with the first iteration, while preserving a warm, bass-leaning core and providing a smoother, more confident upper range.

茜音イーライ・暁 is the incoming third generation. It is being prepared with cleaned samples, new appends and extras, with its detailed specification to be finalized as the new material is completed.

The voicebank family is intended for expressive phrasing, fast or rambling lines, chant-like parts, unusual character performances and subtle glitched ad-libs.

## Likes

Forgotten drafts and abandoned prototypes; weird tools and broken gadgets; half-finished songs and messy project folders; bass-heavy mixes; ritual-like chanting; call-and-response vocals; children's games such as かごめかごめ; late-night debug sessions; glitched laughter and accidental DAW time skips.

## Dislikes

Awkward silences; over-polished corporate mixes; permanent file deletion and vanished autosaves; rigid gender expectations; strict genre labels and workflows; unexpected folder renames or broken file paths; deadlines that kill experimentation; collaborations where the voice is treated like a preset.
