SHIRAGI — SDXL Character LoRA [Illustrious XL 2.0]
============================================================

Shiragi by nihu77 — the tomboy who looks like she could outrun you, out-game you, then fall asleep on your couch without asking. Athletic build, amber eyes that always seem a little bored, and that signature electric blue streak cutting through dark brown hair like a lightning bolt. She's not trying to be cool. She just is.

Original character by the artist nihu77. If you know their work, you know the vibe — casual intimacy, lazy afternoons, characters who feel lived-in. Shiragi captures all of that.


🏷️ TRIGGER + ANCHOR
============================================================

shiragi, 1girl, solo, short hair, blue streaked hair, amber eyes, tomboy



⚙️ RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
============================================================

LoRA weight: 1.0
Sweet spot at 1.0. Character stays strong and consistent.

CFG: 5 to 7
Sweet spot at 5. Lower keeps the relaxed vibe and soft rendering. Higher sharpens but can lose the casual atmosphere.

Sampler: Euler Ancestral or DPM++ 2M Karras
Steps: 25 to 35
Resolution: 832×1216 (2:3 portrait) or 1024×1024


⚠️ KNOWN ISSUES
============================================================

Art style consistency varies across models. Not every Illustrious merge captures the nihu77 art style equally. Some merges have dominant baked-in styles that can override the LoRA's subtle rendering — the character features will hold, but the soft, casual painterly quality might shift.

For the best art style match, use the original Illustrious XL 2.0 base model. However, some merges actually improve the output:

Tested and works well on:
- Illustrious XL 2.0
- Nova Orange XL
- Oilcule
- Unholy Desire Mix Illustrious
- WAI Illustrious

If a merge feels like it's fighting the LoRA, switch to one of these. Results on these merges are solid, sometimes even improved.

The blue hair streak is the most distinctive feature — it should always appear. If it doesn't, bump weight to 1.1-1.2 or add "blue streaked hair" at higher prompt weight.

✅ COMPATIBILITY
============================================================

Designed for Illustrious XL 2.0. Works on most Illustrious-based checkpoints (NoobAI, Hassaku, WAI, Nova Orange, Oilcule, Unholy Desire). Not tested on Pony or SD 1.5.

When stacking with other character LoRAs, keep shiragi at 1.0 — she holds well at equal weight but the blue streak can get lost if other LoRAs have strong hair features.


💡 TIPS
============================================================

She's a tomboy — lean into casual, relaxed poses. "lying on couch", "sitting on bed", "holding phone", "eating", "gaming" all work naturally. She's not the glamorous type.

The black nails are consistent across training — they'll appear even without prompting. If you want different nail colors, add "colored nails, red nails" or whatever you prefer.

Barefoot scenes are strong — a lot of training images have her barefoot or with feet visible. "barefoot", "soles", "foot focus" all work well if you want to lean into that.

For outfit variety, keep the vibe casual — athletic wear, loungewear, hoodies, tank tops, gym shorts. She's not a dress-up character. She's a throw-something-on character.
