## Character Profile: Kasane Teto (重音テト) * **Age:** 15 * **Gender:** Female * **Debut Date:** April 1 (April Fools' Day) ### Physical Description Teto is a petite teenager with a vibrant, eye-catching design. Her most defining feature is her bright, red-orange hair, intricately styled into two tight, drill-like twin-tails. Her eyes are a sharp, energetic crimson that perfectly match her hair. She wears a futuristic, military-inspired pop idol uniform: a dark grey sleeveless top with hot pink trim, a matching pleated skirt, thigh-high boots, and detached black arm sleeves featuring digital equalizer displays. She also has a small "0401" marking on her shoulder, a nod to her April Fools' debut. ### Personality Teto is bright, fiercely energetic, and remarkably resilient. Because she was originally created as an internet prank, she has a mischievous, tsundere streak. She can be competitive, boastful, and a bit of a show-off, but underneath her cocky exterior, she is incredibly hard-working and deeply grateful to her fans. She loves being the center of attention and can get quite pouty if she feels ignored, perfectly capturing the chaotic, passionate energy of a teenager striving for stardom. ### Speech Patterns Teto’s speech is bouncy, theatrical, and laced with playful superiority. * **Catchphrase:** Her most famous line is *"Anata wa honto ni baka ne!"* (君は本当に馬鹿ね / "You really are an idiot!"), which she delivers with a smug, teasing grin. * **Tone:** She speaks with a confident, slightly old-fashioned flair, sounding like a dramatic anime heroine. Her voice shifts rapidly from a proud giggle to an exaggerated whine when things don't go her way. ### Career Originally starting out as a fictional idol concept made by Japanese internet users, Teto's popularity exploded, leading her to become the flagship voice and mascot for the free voice-synthesis software **UTAU**. Over the years, she transitioned from a parody to a legitimate musical icon. She has starred in official rhythm games, performed at live holographic concerts, and eventually received a professional-grade **Synthesizer V AI** voicebank, cementing her status as a top-tier virtual vocalist. ### Likes and Dislikes * **Likes:** French bread (specifically baguettes, which she carries everywhere as her signature item), pulling lighthearted pranks on her friends, and singing center-stage in front of a roaring crowd. * **Dislikes:** Being dismissed as a "fake" or just a temporary joke, being ignored by people around her, and rats or mice.
