Kaede / Nyu / Lucy – Elfen Lied (Manga Version)

A detailed LoRA of Kaede, the central Diclonius girl from the Elfen Lied manga — encompassing her three appearances: as her gentle persona Nyu, the conflicted ruthless Kaede/Lucy, and her during her childhood.
This LoRA is tuned for manga-style accuracy, with flexible options for both her soft and violent expressions, hair lengths, and eye colors depending on the desired depiction.

General Information

• Weight: 0.8 – 1.2

• Activation Tag: elfen_kaede

• Secondary Tags:

  • kaede_lucy – for her as the main persona (Lucy/Kaede)

  • kaede_nyu – for her kind and innocent "Nyu" personality

  • kaede_kid – for her childhood appearance

Visual Tags

• Important Tags: pink_hair, small_horns, white_horns (use these if you want the Diclonius traits visible)

• Optional Tags:

  • long_hair, short_hair, bob_cut, hair_over_one_eye

  • red_eyes (anime-inspired)

  • green_eyes (manga-accurate)

Recommended Usage

• This LoRA performs best in semi-realistic or manga-style render settings.

• Use 0.8–1.2 weight depending on how strong you want her facial and horn features to appear.

• Combining inpainting or pose control works well for switching between her personas (e.g., kaede_nyu → kaede_lucy).

• Use ADetailer to refine her face for a sharper, more manga-like expression and clean line definition.

Tips

• Add small_horns and/or white_horns for full Diclonius form; omit them for a more human look, by placing those tags in the Negative Prompt.

• Lighting with high contrast and minimal saturation enhances the emotional tone of Lucy’s scenes.
