“Days pull you down just like a sinking ship. Floating is getting harder, but tread the water child, and know that meanwhile... rises the moon.”
—Liana Flores, rises the moon

Background

Extensive lore about Ken can be found here.

Concept

While Ken has a personality and canon information given to her by her creator, it is not mandatory that you make content following this information. She may be depicted in any way regardless of her canon information, as long as it follows the UTAU software terms of use.

Ken is rather a very curious person; an arrogant airhead. She is very outgoing, spontaneous, and always looking for the next big thrill. She can be very competitive, impulsive, and can sometimes come off rather rude. Besides that, she can't cook and usually falls over flat surfaces. That's basically it.

• Shippai (失敗) - 'failure, mistake"
