Norie is my utau. She exists in different timelines depending on the voicebank used.
Core and TRUE are CVVC Japanese voicebanks. ALT is a multilingual diffsinger voice.
All versions have the same personality, likes, and dislikes.

Norie is determined and confident, and very willing to take on tasks assigned to her in a resourceful and creative way. She appreciates the small things life has to offer -- like flowers blooming in the spring. However, she is also very childish, naive, and protective of humans to an almost possessive degree.

She likes singing, people, animals, gardening, and playing dress up. She has a strong dislike of food because she can't consume it.
