Maria Annovazzi | マリーア・アンノヴァッツィ | Always a Catch!

Source: Always a Catch! (Nigashita Sakana wa Ookikatta ga Tsuriageta Sakana ga / 逃がした魚は大きかったが釣りあげた魚が)

Character Description:
Maria Annovazzi is the cheerful and determined protagonist of this romantic comedy, often seen as a catch that got away—until she decided to do some fishing of her own. She is instantly recognizable by her long, sunny blonde hair with a distinct antenna hair (ahoge) that frequently springs from the top of her head, reflecting her energetic and slightly impulsive nature. Her wide purple eyes match her warm personality. Maria is almost always wearing her neat school academy uniform, accessorized with a unique single hair ornament (often a small crescent or star clip) on the side. Her classic uniform ensemble includes a tidy ascot (necktie), long sleeves, a contrasting white skirt, dark pantyhose, and polished loafers, embodying the quintessential bright and confident student aesthetic.

⚙️ Recommended Settings & Tips

(Note: Use these details for optimal results with Illustrious XL and Pony Diffusion V6 XL base models).

• LoRA Weight: 0.85 - 1.0 (Vital for the antenna hair and the specific combination of the white skirt and ascot; high weights ensure the defining ahoge renders correctly and doesn't get merged with the rest of her hair).
• Base Models: Optimized for Illustrious XL and Pony Diffusion V6 XL.
• The "Ahoge": To ensure her signature look, always use antenna hair, ahoge, or single cowlick.
• Pro-Tip: Maria is a high-energy character. Use expressions like grin, smile, laughter, or wink. Adding blush helps capture her flustered yet bold personality when dealing with her crush. Ensure you specify both the ascot and white skirt to match her canon uniform design.
