The first public version and foundation of the character. Its more masculine origin became the starting point for everything that followed.
HISTORY · VOICE EVOLUTION
Three passesone growing voice
The project grew from a simpler first bank into a more deliberate character and voice system. Each generation remains visible because the history of the voice is part of the voice itself.

Revision timeline
茜音イーライ
The second generation introduced three pitches, stronger pronunciation and accent, a ready-to-use OpenUtau setup and refined Moresampler-oriented expression. It also moved the voice and character into a more feminine, queer and gender-nonconforming direction.

The third generation continues that growth with cleaned material, new appends and extras, and a new visual identity. The direction becomes still more queer, expressive and comfortable outside conventional gender categories.

What changes between generations?
Voice
Recordings can be cleaned, repaired and expanded as the voice develops.
Expression
Appends and extras broaden the ways the voice can perform, from subtle expression to deliberately strange or playful sounds.
Gender expression
The voice moves from a more masculine origin toward increasingly feminine, queer, and androgynous territory as its real provider's self-expression changes.
Presentation
Each generation can receive a new design and visual language while remaining recognizably part of the same lineage.
03
The voice provider
A voice can grow into a place where the old categories no longer fit.
The real voice provider, Ilya Minin (Eli), has come to understand himself as non-binary and is finding a place between genders. The changing voicebank reflects that artistic and personal movement away from a masculine origin that no longer feels representative.
The generations therefore document growth rather than replacement: the old forms remain meaningful, while newer forms make room for a voice that is more comfortable being queer, feminine, and fluid.
