Stella — Character LoRA for Anima
Elegant clothes, expensive surroundings, absolutely dreadful manners.
This is my personally trained Stella character LoRA for Anima, focused on her distinctive feathered design, aristocratic femininity, and delightfully unpleasant expressions.
Dress her for a royal audience, an extravagant party, afternoon tea, or a quiet evening planning someone else’s downfall. Her wardrobe is yours to change; the contempt is encouraged.
ACTIVATION — IMPORTANT
stellanima, avianUse BOTH tags together.
stellanima is the trained character trigger. avian provides the necessary body-type guidance: in my testing, the character trigger alone did not produce reliable results.
Keep avian in your prompt even when changing outfits, settings, or rendering styles.
AVAILABLE VERSIONS
5400 Steps
The penultimate checkpoint from this training run.
6000 Steps
The final checkpoint, trained for another 600 steps.
Both checkpoints produced usable results in my testing. The later version is an alternative, not automatically the better choice for every prompt. Compare them using the same seed, prompt, base checkpoint, and LoRA strength.
QUICK START
Starting LoRA strength: 1.0
Basic character check:
stellanima, avian, 1girl, solo, female, full body, standing, looking at viewer, half-closed eyes, smirk, white blouse, long sleeves, red skirt, feathered tail, bird feet, talons, barefoot, simple background. stellanima stands in a white blouse and red skirt, regarding the viewer with a raised chin and a faintly contemptuous smile. Her long feathered tail extends behind her, and her uncovered bird feet remain visible beneath the skirt.Start with both activation tags, then describe the clothes, pose, expression, and surroundings you want.
THE CHARACTER
Features to look for include:
• A tall silhouette with a long neck and elegant limbs
• White and light-grey plumage with pink and lavender accents
• Layered head and neck feathers
• Red-to-magenta eyes and prominent dark eyelashes
• A pink beak
• Clawed hands and dark avian feet
• A long feathered tail
Her expressions are a major part of the appeal. Half-closed eyes, raised eyebrows, smug smiles, disdainful looks, and outright irritation all suit the character.
She does not need to smile sweetly just because she is wearing a pretty dress.
FEET & TAIL
For full-body images, these supporting tags can help:
bird feet, talons, barefoot, feathered tailWhen the exact foot anatomy matters, add:
Each bird foot has four clawed toes: three pointing forward and one rear toe pointing backward. Her long feathered tail remains visible behind her.
Specify four toes PER FOOT, rather than four claws total.
Long skirts, furniture, and capes can obscure her tail. Describe where it extends when its visibility matters.
Exact toe counts, tail placement, and complex hand poses still need checking. Explicit anatomy instructions are guidance, not a guarantee.
OUTFITS & EXPRESSIONS
Prompt the outfit rather than relying on one default costume.
Royal gowns, tailored waistcoats, frilled blouses, elaborate evening dresses, jewelry, and coordinated accessories all fit her aristocratic presentation.
For a feminine villainous mood, try selecting from:
half-closed eyes, raised eyebrow, smirk, disdain, evil smile, hand on hip, looking down
Choose the expression you actually want rather than stacking every expression into one prompt.
EXAMPLE — ROYAL DISPLEASURE
stellanima, avian, 1girl, solo, female, full body, sitting, throne, crossed legs, looking at viewer, smirk, crown, ruby earrings, red dress, gold trim, cape, feathered tail, bird feet, talons, palace, dramatic lighting. stellanima sits on a golden throne in a crimson royal dress, resting one clawed hand on the armrest while the other supports her chin. She regards the viewer with an imperious little smile. Her long feathered tail curves beside the throne.EXAMPLE — AN UNPLEASANT AFTERNOON
stellanima, avian, 1girl, solo, female, full body, sitting, pink dress, frills, pearl necklace, holding cup, teacup, raised eyebrow, smug, feathered tail, bird feet, barefoot, rose garden, sunlight. stellanima sits at a garden table with a porcelain teacup held just below her beak. Her immaculate pink dress and pearl jewelry contrast with the openly condescending expression she directs toward the viewer.STRENGTH & CONSISTENCY
Try 1.0 as a starting strength, then adjust for your checkpoint and prompt.
If resemblance is weak, first confirm that BOTH stellanima and avian are present.
If the LoRA overwhelms the requested style or transfers Stella’s features onto a companion, try reducing its strength and describing each subject separately.
Results depend on the base checkpoint, prompt, LoRA strength, and other resources in your workflow.
