Like his sister, he is straightforward, but he also possesses the ability to make important decisions correctly and has the strong aura of a leader. His weakness includes troublesome issues, and the only time he's not bothered is when they are related to his younger sister. He is very protective of Ling and can become slightly hysterical when dealing with situations related to her.

98
99	Released on August 2, 2018 for the [=VOCALOID4=] engine. Moke is a genius with an IQ of 168. Even though he always wears an innocent and warming smile, he is actually the most Otaku of all Otaku. By starting threads in forums, editing, and uploading {{M\|usicvideos}}Vs, he is seen as a "god" by some people on the internet. He is sometimes mistaken as a girl; although he claims that he hates this, there are unconfirmed rumors of a popular cross-dressing cosplayer appearing in various comic conventions who looks very similar to him. Because he usually doesn't talk, most people will take him as a "nice boy", but he will reveal his true Otaku self when he is with close friends. He acts somewhat like a professional debater when talking about anime or other Otaku topics, but tends to react poorly to subjects that do not interest him.
100	----
101	* ChildProdigy: Moke, with an IQ of 168.

111	Released on August 2, 2018 for the [=VOCALOID4=] engine. Because of her elegant and mature outlook, Qingxian is extremely popular in school. Even though she seems to be a mysterious character, she actually has a slow reaction due to her poor health. She dresses fashionably most of the time, yet her actions show great elegance and traditional beauty. Qingxian loves traditional Chinese literature and is capable of skillfully playing many traditional Chinese instruments. Even though she reacts slowly, she still tries her best to take care of the juniors and people around her. She also has a tendency to become randomly philosophical.

125	* BoyishShortHair: Quite possibly the shortest for a female Vocaloid.
126	* SixthRanger: Her appearances in Vsinger concerts treat her as the newest member of the gang above.

182	Since Big-Al was announced years before his actual release due to complications with recording the voice bank, for a while he was the VideoGame/DukeNukemForever of the Vocaloid community.

186	* BadassLongcoat: In his Taiwanese designs.

195
196	Early fan supporters couldn't be deterred from making art based on him, even before any details of his design were revealed. [=VocaTone=] did release [[http://images.wikia.com/vocaloid/images/9/91/Vocaloid_Oliver_Silhouette.jpg a silhouette of him]] ahead of time, which helped considerably.
197

205	* CherubicChoir: He can be used to make one.
206	* ChildSoldier: His official design gives off vibes of this. And he has [[FridgeHorror bandages on his legs and left eye]]... Atlthough it's actually based off the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_Boys%27_Choir Vienna Boy's Choir]].
207	* CreepyChild: Some songs [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHP-1vMd7Es like this one]] portrayed him as such. And it'll be hard to shake that reputation off of him, considering some of his greatest hits are songs about unsettling subjects and ''eating a live tarantula''.

211	* HotterAndSexier: When he's drawn in his older teenage years.

227	* HairOfGold
228	* NoNameGiven: According to [[http://vocatoneofficial.tumblr.com/post/83026019669/vocatone-character-profile-2-vocaloid-3 [=VocaTone=]'s Tumbir]], his character does not have a given name.

251	Due to the obsolescence of the Vocaloid 1 engine, he is due to be retired and pulled out of sales after December 31, 2013.
252
253	-----
254	* BlueBoyPinkGirl: Leon's boxart is blue, in contrast with Lola's pink boxart.
255	* DemotedToExtra: While he and LOLA were some of the first VOCALOID synthesizers, time has not been kind to them. Neither are particular fan favorites like MIRIAM, and over the years fell to the wayside in favor of more advanced English synthesizers. That's not to say they don't have fans--they're just unlucky.
256	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: In the Japanese fandom, one of his popular visualizations, was as a sweet young man with blonde hair.
257	* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: With Leon having a high voice and Lola having a low voice.
258	* VocalDissonance: His vocal range shows this.
259
260	!!Lola
261	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Vocaloid_Lola_box_2303.jpg]]
262
263	Released at the same time and by the same company as Leon, Lola is the first female Vocaloid. She also runs under the initial Vocaloid engine.
264
265	Due to the obsolescence of the Vocaloid 1 engine, she was retired and pulled out of sales after December 31, 2013.
266
267	-----
268	* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Lola's boxart is pink, in contrast with Leon's pink boxart.
269	* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: With Leon having a high voice and Lola having a low voice.
270	* SheCleansUpNicely: Even if she does have a very deep voice, an astonishing number of gems show up [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKDA8Rm1N0A if]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cgW4VOZ5CE you]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaS5qwhlaaA look]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srEnBdnkUmA for]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYftk4HMfc4 them.]]
271
272	!!Miriam
273	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/miriam_7904.jpg]]
274
275	The third English Vocaloid and the first to reveal the provider of the voice bank. She is distributed by Zero-G, is voiced by Miriam Stockley, and is the last English Vocaloid to be released under the first engine.
276
277	Due to the obsolescence of the Vocaloid 1 engine, she is due to be retired and pulled out of sales after December 31, 2013.
278
279	-----
280	* OddCouple: Sound wise, she compliments Avanna surprisingly well.
281	* TemporaryOnlineContent: Despite LOLA, LEON, and MIRIAM all being removed from sale, it was still possible to buy a downloadable link until November 2015. MIRIAM was the only one of the three to have all her serial codes had been sold at that point, making it currently impossible to purchase her.
282
283
284	!!Prima
285	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prima_831.jpg]]
286
287	The first [=Vocaloid2=]-engine Vocaloid by Zero-G and the fifth English Vocaloid, Prima is built almost entirely for opera songs. Thus, she sings with deep vowels and rolls her consonants.
288
289
290	-----
291	* ClassicallyTrainedExtra: One interpretation, seeing as she was designed to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8X3sARqX00 sing opera]] and is usually used to sing...[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v2x8V6qFmg not Opera]].
292	* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Based upon her photo boxart.
293	* IdiotHair: E-capsule Prima has a stray curl on the side of her head.
294	* MeaningfulName - From "prima donna," the lady in an opera company who generally got the leading roles.
295	* ShrinkingViolet: E-capsule Prima shyly glances sideways, while her chibi form shows her standing pigeon-toed, tight lipped and blushing.
296	* TechnicianVersusPerformer: Between her and Sweet ANN back in 2007. Both were released at the height of the Vocaloid craze, and are credited for people developing interest in oversea Vocaloids. While Sweet Ann was notable for sounding sharp and clear, while Prima was praised for sounding beautiful.
297	* UnusualEars: E-capsule Prima sports a pair of headphones with pointing speaker ears. No one is quite sure if they are Fox ears, Cat ears or Wolf ears. Though the most popular assumption is fox.
298	* VocalDissonance: Much like the popular teenager design spawned from the Japanese fandom, E-capsule Prima was designed to appear as a young female (18 in fact). In the Western fandom such portrayals are criticized as some believe it doesn't fit her voice.
299	* {{Yandere}}: She's portrayed as one by the Western fandom, mainly those who tried to pirate her and the software with a wrong cracking code, making it unusable; they interpreted it as Prima being yandere and taking everybody with her.
300
301	!!Sonika
302	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sonika_4632.jpg]]
303	The sixth English Vocaloid, Sonika is essentially Zero-G's attempt at [[FollowTheLeader imitating the Japanese Vocaloids]] by invoking {{Animesque}}. Thus, Sonika was advertised with height/age/weight measurements along with katakana on her arm, and was advertised as being able to "sing any language" (since she's not as restricted to phonetics as other voice banks), and is essentially Zero-G's mascot, even with a full-blown personality and Website/{{Twitter}} profile. This... backfired. She was criticized for having terrible pronunciation and being a badly-attempted sleight at marketing. Eventually, people warmed up to her, but she'll NeverLiveItDown.
304
305	She has two boxarts, the first being a CGI render and the second being done by an artist on Website/DeviantArt.
306
307	-----
308	* HotterAndSexier: Compare her current boxart (pictured above) to her [[http://vocaloid.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ofclboxart_zrog_Sonika1.jpg original]].
309	* IdiotHair: After Sonika's original box art included a loose strand of hair, several artists tend to exaggerate this (though still to a realistic degree). This was eventually exaggerated in her second boxart.
310	* KaleidoscopeHair: Her green hair is able to change color to red according to her Twitter messages.
311	* MasterOfNone: Though her voice is average at best and often [[TheUnintelligible unintelligible]], she's less restricted by phonetics and syllables than other Vocaloids, making it easier for her to sing in other languages.
312	* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Her initial design was a CGI render that looked like something out of an old video game, unlike other Vocaloids who typically had an animesque design. Her next design was in a more realistic art style, but still a clear departure from other Vocaloid designs. Averted with her E-capsule design, which stuck to a more animesque art style than her other deisgns in line with other Vocaloids.
313	* {{Omniglot}}: She can (theoretically) sing in any language and was advertised as having that ability, as she has a variety of phonetics that usually aren't included with English voicebanks. However, she's still mainly intended to be used in English, and how well she handles other languages can vary from listener to listener and user to user.
314	* SheCleansUpNicely: She doesn't have to be TheUnintelligible, so long as you know how to use her. So just [[http://youtu.be/Jit21iWXok8 carry on]].
315	%% * TheTrickster: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75p1k46L1l4 Yeah,]] it's there.
316	* TheUnintelligible: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qrOzEhRR2A Oh]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09vP1YYW5PQ so]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBnaaah136I much.]] Many of her fans find this appealing, though.
317
318	!!Tonio
319	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Vocaloid_Tonio_907.jpg]]
320
321	Tonio was released by Zero-G as the eighth English Vocaloid; while his initial release was delayed and people thought it would go to Big-Al status, Tonio was eventually released after a few months. He is meant to be an opera singer as a partner to Prima.
322
323	-----
324	* ClassicallyTrainedExtra: Like Prima, he is not used for opera. Some of his most famous songs are ''Lady Gaga covers''.

331	!!Avanna
332
333	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Avanna_edit_7148.png]]
334
335	The first [=Vocaloid3=]-engine vocaloid by Zero-G. She is promoted as having a Celtic voice bank. She was first publicized through a demo (cover of Music/{{Enya}}'s ''Only Time'') which was played during this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g57jdMSNFbc Vocaloid Producers Panel]]. Her second demo was a Rose Royce song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ne0hUu3_zxo "Wishing on a Star"]].
336
337	She was released 22nd of December 2012.
338
339	----
340	* {{Animesque}}: Unlike the other Zero-G vocaloids, her sole [[http://avanna-vocaloid.com official design]] closely follows the anime style of drawing, mainly as a result of [[ExecutiveMeddling Yamaha's insistence]] (the commissioned artist, [=AkiGlancy=], originally designed her to be a Western-style elf; this concept was rejected, but still appears as a sillouette on the boxart behind the official design).
341	* FighterMageThief: Given her original elf concept, she fits into the Mage role between her, Daina's, and Dex's fantasy designs.
342	* InnocentBlueEyes
343	* {{Irony}}: She wears a green dress, but also has a song called "Creative" about hating the color green [[WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared because it's not a creative color]].
344	* PointyEars: She was going to have this, but changed at the last moment -- which hasn't stopped fan artists from continuing to draw her with them.
345	* RavenHairIvorySkin: Like many Irish people.
346	* TaremeEyes
347	* {{Yandere}}: Implied in "Creative," where she plays the Notebook from ''WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared'', wanting the listener to think and feel the same way she does.
348	-->''Green is the color of jealousy\
349	But why be jealous when you have me?''
350	* YouthfulFreckles
351
352	!!Daina
353	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dai.png]]
354
355	Developed and distributed by Zero-G, she is the first female English Vocaloid for the [=Vocaloid4=] engine. She is modelled after a fox and derived from the Fox character of 'The Fox and The Hound'. She was released along with Dex in November 2015.
356
357	She is voiced by [=AkiGlancy=], an American Vocaloid producer.
358
359	-----
360	* CunningLikeAFox: Her main motif. A picture of a blue fox also appears on her headset in her official design. Her alternate thief design also plays into the "thieving fox" stereotype.
361	* FieryRedhead: Sometimes portrayed as this.
362	* FighterMageThief: Among the three fantasy designs for her, Avanna, and Dex, she fittingly takes the Thief role.
363	* LittleBitBeastly: Her original design had her with fox ears and tail.
364	* LoveableRogue: Her [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/vocaloid/images/4/49/Thief_daina.png thief]] design.
365	* {{Mascot}}: She and Dex serve as the headliners for the Engloid-themed concert Vocamerica.
366	* MeaningfulName: "Daina" is the Lithuanian and Latvian word for "song". There's another, unintentional meaning on [=AkiGlancy=]'s part: When coming up with the names for the duo, she wanted a whimsical-sounding name for Daina. Nostraightanswer pointed out that she shares the name with the very whimsical [[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland Alice Liddell]]'s cat, Dinah.
367	* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: Fittingly enough for an American vocaloid, Daina's main colors are a prominent red, white, and blue.
368
369	!!Dex
370
371	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dex.png]]
372
373	Developed and distributed by Zero-G, he is the first English male Vocaloid for the [=Vocaloid4=] engine. He is modelled after a wolf and derived from the Hound character of 'The Fox and The Hound'. He was released along with Daina in November 2015.
374
375	He is voiced by Sam Blakeslee (aka. nostraightanswer), an American Vocaloid producer.
376
377	-----
378	* AmbiguouslyBrown: The first male Vocaloid with this skin type.
379	* FighterMageThief: Dex's hunter design is more combat oriented, placing him in the Fighter role among his, Avanna's, and Daina's fantasy designs.
380	* LittleBitBeastly: His original design had him with wolf ears and tail.
381	* {{Mascot}}: He and Daina are the main focus of the Engloid-themed concert Vocamerica.
382	* MythologyGag: Dex shares his wolf theme with the werewolf singer [[http://vocadb.net/Ar/9939 Baionoto Kenji]], an UTAU nostraightanswer also had a part in.
383	* NobleWolf: His main motif. A picture of a yellow wolf also appears on his headset in his official design. An alternate design shows him as a [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/vocaloid/images/4/48/Hunter_dex.png hunter]], fittingly enough of a wolf. "Get Wild", a song composed by his voice provider, takes the motif further by depicting Dex as a [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolf]].
384	* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9fSditAzqY "Get Wild"]], a duet between him and his voice provider, takes his wolf motif to its logical extreme by depicting him as a werewolf. Or his voice provider as a werewolf. Or both. It's not entirely clear. Either way, the depiction is visually traditional (large, humanoid wolf), but the song's lyrics imply that this depiction of werewolves is more self-aware than most, and notably framed as ''extremely'' protective of their friends.
385	* PapaWolf: Pun very much intended in "Get Wild", where Dex, as a werewolf, is depicted as ''extremely'' protective of those he cares about.
386	-->If someone spills your blood\
387	''Well, I'll tear them apart!''
388	* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Goes hand in hand with his alternate wolf boy design.
389	* WonderfulWerewolf: "Get Wild" depicts either Dex, his voice provider or both as a werewolf who's generally friendly... so long as you [[PapaWolf don't mess with his/their friends...]]
390	-->"There's worse fates out there\
391	Than making friends with a werewolf..."

401	The first pair of Spanish Vocaloids on the [=Vocaloid3=] engine. The old character design by Raimon Benach was used in their first visual demo video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvCXTDr-LbM Juntos Tú y Yo]]". The current design is by artist "Rumple".
402
403	----
404	* CoolShades: Clara.
405	* IconicItem: Bruno's hat and Clara's glasses. They're also both seen with microphones.
406	* LatinLover: Played up and then some for Bruno's version of "SPICE!".
407	* SpicyLatina: Depending on the producer, Clara is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p4uN-pdp-c viewed]] as being this. While on the other side she is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcUhJfijaBU viewed]] as TheCutie.

410	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maika_vocaloid_6454.jpg]]
411
412	The second female Spanish Vocaloid on the Vocaloid 3 engine, released on December 15 2013 as a download (her boxed version is yet to be released). Her character design was made by Noriko Hayashi, the winning result of a contest held by Voctro Labs. The voicebank itself was acutally part of a collaboration between Voctro Labs and the Spanish Pop Band Music/LaOrejaDeVanGogh, where the Vocaloid was used by the band to listen to their own written lyrics before recording their songs. Supposedly the voicebank was based on the band's current lead singer, Leire Martinez, though this has yet to be confirmed.
413
414	----
415	* PrincessCurls: Rare variant - her straight hair curls at the tips
416	* RobotBuddy: Nova, the little orb that follows her around.
417	* ShipTease: Surprisingly, she gets this with Yohioloid, by virtue of their character designers liking to pair them up.
418
419	!!ONA
420	Voctro Labs' fourth mascot, made in collaboration with The Lab Barcelona and La Merced (ICUB). She interestingly shares the same voicebank as MAIKA, making her a LiteralSplitPersonality for their shared data. She is meant to represent the Catalan capabilities of the voicebank. Unlike MAIKA, she is not intended for public use, instead being used for concerts and events.
421
422	----
423	* {{Foil}}: To MAIKA. On the whole, MAIKA seems to be more geared toward the public image of Vocaloids, being an {{Animesque}} young singer with a futuristic design and bright colors to match, while ONA is more geared towards professional usage and has a more contemporary design fit for the 21st century. And while both are [[VirtualCelebrity Virtual Celebrities]], MAIKA is meant to be used on computers, while ONA is meant to be used on a live stage or in the public.
424	* LiteralSplitPersonality: Of MAIKA's voicebank.
425	* MeaningfulName: Ona means "wave" in Catalan, and her design motif has waves in it.
426	* PrimaryColorChampion: Her shirt has bits of red, yellow, and blue in it, and she's represented by a red, blue and yellow logo.

432	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/seeu_987.jpg]]
433	The first Korean Vocaloid, released by SBS Artech. Character design by manhwa artist Kkuem. Voiced by real-life Korean IdolSinger Kim (also known as [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Kim Tahi, Dahi, Dahee]]), who has since [[http://www.allkpop.com/2012/07/glam-to-collaborate-with-a-hologram-of-vocaloid-seeu-on-inkigayo debuted]] in the Korean girl group [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5T62b-FxzxA GLAM]] (she's the girl riding the bicycle).
434
435	A leaked early demo can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-CZt_epQQA here]], which was praised for its humanlike realism. It should be noted, though, that Kim Tahi also sings in the background for said demo. Her first official demo, [[http://youtu.be/U4EqmD35udw 'RUN']], was released 22 September 2011; and was brought her back to the forefront in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ceDikUov34 "Never Let You Go"]] .
436
437	-----
438	* CatGirl: No tail in evidence, but her costume includes a pair of [[AnimalEaredHeadband cat-ear-shaped speakers]] mounted on her head, and her standard facial expression is a CatSmile.
439	* ExoticEyeDesigns: Star-shaped light reflections in her irises.
440	* HartmanHips: She certainly has a curvy pair of hips on her.
441	* HollywoodThin: While her design looks like she's at a healthy weight and she sports some [[HartmanHips curvaceous hips]], her canonical weight is roughly 98 pounds[[note]]44.5 kg[[/note]], which is about 10 pounds below the ideal weight for her frame and height[[note]]canonically 159 cm, or 5'2[[/note]].
442	* RuleSixtyThree: She has an [[https://vocaeuro.wordpress.com/2015/08/11/official-seeu-genderbend-zeeu-unveiled/ official genderbend]] named [=ZeeU=]. She also has the fanmade "[=SeeWoo=]", but like all fan genderbends his looks are not concrete.

444	!![=Uni=]
445	[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/final.png]]

Her official release finally came on February 14, 2017, although it was a bare bones version; her Power and Soft Appends became available to the public later in the summer of 2017, with an English bank currently in development.
447	----
448	* MeaningfulName: Her name's a reference to her concept as a "Universal Vocaloid". Also doubles as StellarThemeNaming, as her design incorporates several stars into her outfir.
449	* PinkMeansFeminine: Just take a look at all that pink.
