⚙️ Recommended Settings & Tips

• LoRA Weight: 0.85 - 1.0 (Essential for her specific choppy bangs and red eyes, which are her most defining traits).
• Base Models: Optimized for Illustrious XL and Pony Diffusion V6 XL.
• Color Palette: Ensure red is the dominant color in her outfits. If the red bleeds into her hair, use black hair with a higher weight.
• Pro-Tip: Emi is a "mood" player. To capture her canon personality, use expressions like serious, focused, or angry for her rival look, and emotional, crying, or passionate for her performance dress scenes. The bear necklace is a subtle but important detail for her casual outfit.
