Sharon Apple from the awesome 90s anime Macross Plus. She is a "Virturoid" - an artificial intelligence that projects a holographic persona designed to be an idol. Unfortunately things take a dark turn when her handlers install an experimental emotion chip...

UPDATE - 12 February 2025 - Added Illustrious Version

• Replaced "sh4r0ncpu" trigger with "black box." Should be reliably able to trigger the black box that's Sharon's true form from the anime.

• Transparent/translucent effects don't seem to work properly in the Illustrious version. I experimented with a few supporting LoRAs, but wasn't happy with the results. May revisit this in the future.

Suggested strength: 0.7 - 0.9 (Note: my character LoRAs are typically trained to 2500-3000 steps on datasets of 75-130 images, so it really shouldn't be necessary to go above 0.7 in most situations unless you're mixing with a lot of other LoRAs).

This is the movie version, and I have included all four of her holographic personas in the single LoRA. Why do this instead of breaking them up into four LoRAs (and earning more buzz)? Because I feel this gives you a better experience. By having them all on one LoRA, you can create group shots more easily, you reduce the complexity of juggling multiple LoRAs for different aspects of a single character, and you save disk space.

Triggers:

• Orange Sharon (youthful): sh4r0norange, red eyes, short hair, orange hair, black hair, blunt bangs, pink lips

• Red Sharon (mermaid): sh4r0nred, red hair, red lips, pointy ears, choker, mermaid

• Green Sharon (angel): sh4r0ngreen, green hair, brown eyes, wings, colored inner hair, pink lips, bracelet, ahoge, gem, staff, gloves

• Purple Sharon (giantess): sh4r0npurple, purple hair, yellow eyes, ahoge, purple lips, blue eyeshadow, very long hair, colored inner hair, flying toward viewer, jewelry, choker

• Shared triggers (use with all four): bare shoulders, forehead jewel, earrings, no ???????, transparent hologram woman

NOTES:

1. I tried to train the "transparent hologram woman" effect directly into the dataset. When triggered it should give the appearance of being able to see some details through her body. You can strengthen the effect by pairing with Rysk's "Transparent Hologram Women" LoRA. I named my trigger to match his in hopes of creating synergy.

2. To strengthen the mermaid effect with Sharon Red, I recommend pairing with ika's "Mermaid XL" LoRA

3. I tried to train a trigger for Sharon's true form (the black box with a single red light like HAL 9000). You can try to trigger it with sh4r0ncpu, but I had poor results in testing. This was my first time trying to train an inanimate object by itself, and I learned some lessons for next time.
