FILIPINO NAME: Maria Yukiko Harana Nagano ALIAS: Marie, Yuki, Cosette (human name) NAME INTERPRETATION: Nagano; Naga No; Long Field - This is a real surname and a Prefecture in Japan. Maria - It's common for girls in the Philippines to have names from the Bible, this time Maria also has another meaning: bitter, from Hebrew Marah. Please note that Marie is spelled in katakana with a ッ. This means her name is pronounced with a rolling R. Yukiko - a joke on the fact that her first voicebank was a result of copying Yuki Kaai's voice. Also has a double meaning: vampire in Japanese is Yuki-onna, or snow lady. Being a loli, she is a snow girl=Yuki-ko Harana - means "another name" in Japanese (Hara na) and "serenade" in Filipino Cosette - After a character in Les Miserables. They share similar histories, but the similarity ends there. | ||||||||

| PERSONALITY: She is very unpredictable and often sadistic. She has a very bad memory, to the point that she can't remember the lyrics. Marie can be very angsty, but can never hold a grudge because she forgets why she was angry in the first place. Her personality varies from all the 'dere'-types: yandere, tsundere, kuudere, and dandere, depending on her thirst. She is very, very proud and can be a snob to strangers, but warms up ...eventually. Instead of swearing, she says "sweet brioche~". | ||||||||

Trivia[]
- The name 'Marie Nagano' was found by the author in an old Japanese textbook given to her. Before this, Marie's name was Mimiku Harana (a portmanteau of 'Mimic' and 'Miku'). Marie Nagano is a relative of the author. However her full name is purely made-up (changing Marie to Maria, Yukiko, Harana).
- Marie has the same birthday as her author.
- She can detect blood type just by smell, and prefers AB- (a rare blood type) to O (very common). When she was human, her blood type was AB-.
- Marie seems to have no desire to control her bloodthirsty. She is a 'killer' type of vampire, meaning once she starts feeding, she can't stop. However, very sweet chocolate-filled brioche may be used as a substitute when no blood is available.
- Kagamine Len is listed as her 'obsession'; This can mean both love and hate, due to the fact that she is bipolar. It could also mean that she is after his blood. The same 'obsession' applies to all shotas.
- As her source's voice still hasn't matured yet, Marie's voice will probably 'age' over time, ironically she is immortal, being a vampire.
- Marie is after the complete control of the human blood supply for all vampires.
- Her default expression is a supercilious glare/observance. Please note this when making art of her.
- Sunlight affects her by giving her an intense sunburn, she is allergic to garlic, and has no reflection because her skin does not refract light. Her 'blood' (venom) is black because she has no hemoglobin.
- Marie's knees turn in slightly (she is knock-kneed) so that she stands straight with some difficulty. Please note this when illustrating her.

Voice Configuration[]
To make her sound the way she is supposed to, the user must 'fit' the UST and add this tag: b0Y0h30g-0c75F1
Marie works best with TIPS or EFB-GT. Also please Compress and Equalize her voice with care during mixing. When duet/chorusing, Marie's voice tends to rise above the other voices or turn chipmunk. Please lower her volume or add to the h (up to 50) or Y (up to 20) flag to prevent this. The g+3 flag may also be used to stop the chipmunk effect.
Her DEMO voicebank, in Japanese, is no longer being distributed.
Her ACT 1 was released on May 12, 2012.
Upcoming voicebanks include: Appends, Japanese VCV, English VC-CV, Filipino VC-CV, Spanish, and French.
