Ari Arkaza — Character LoRA for Anima

My independently trained Anima LoRA of Ari Arkaza, associated with @KyosSkittles.

The character design combines long brown hair with vivid purple sections, blue eyes, colorful candy-shaped hair ornaments, and gold lightning-bolt earrings. A purple hoodie with yellow lining over a black high-neck top is a recurring outfit in the references.

WHY I TRAINED THIS

Yet another VTuber trashing publicly her fans for internet points. If you don't like AI that is ok, but to humiliate a fan publicly for it crosses a line.

Then promoting Nightshade, known to do nothing as a snake oil to other artists.

So I did the funny and poisoned her dataset to show it does nothing.

A nightshaded LoRA.

This is an independent training project. It is not an official release or an endorsement by the character's creator.

THE DESIGN

The main features to preserve are:

• Long brown hair with purple front sections and purple accents through the lengths

• Bright blue eyes

• Colorful candy-shaped hair ornaments

• Gold lightning-bolt earrings

• A small upward-curving hair tuft

• Purple and yellow accents in the familiar outfit

For the familiar outfit, try:

purple hoodie, yellow hood lining, black turtleneck

Clothing can change. Describe the outfit you want rather than including the hoodie in every prompt.

AVAILABLE VERSIONS

• 3000 Steps

The earlier checkpoint from this training run.

• 3600 Steps

A later checkpoint saved after another 600 training steps.

Both use the same trigger. Compare them with the same prompt, seed, checkpoint, and LoRA strength to make the differences easier to judge.

TRIGGER WORD

arinima

Example:

arinima, solo, purple hoodie, yellow hood lining, black turtleneck, looking at viewer, simple background

Start with the trigger and your scene description. Reinforce individual appearance details only when needed.

Optional supporting tags:

long hair, brown hair, purple hair, multicolored hair, blue eyes, candy hair ornaments, lightning bolt earrings

These are supporting descriptions, not additional trigger words.

STRENGTH

Try 1.0 as an initial setting, then adjust for your checkpoint and prompt.

Lower it if the LoRA overwhelms the style or restricts the result. Raise it if the character's features aren't coming through clearly.

This is an initial setting to try, not a tested recommendation for every setup.

EXAMPLE PROMPTS

Simple character check:

arinima, solo, upper body, purple hoodie, yellow hood lining, black turtleneck, relaxed smile, looking at viewer, white background

Different outfit:

arinima, solo, full body, navy tracksuit, white sneakers, standing beside a bicycle, outdoors

Quiet scene:

arinima, solo, cream sweater, blue jeans, sitting by a window, holding a book, soft afternoon light

COMPATIBILITY

Character LoRA for Anima. Results depend on the checkpoint, prompt, strength, and other LoRAs in your setup.

Training details for each checkpoint are listed under its version.
