Zhanyin Lorra

Zhanyin Lorra (战音 Lorra) is an upcoming Chinese VOCALOID3 to be developed by Shanghai He Nian Co. Ltd in collaboration with NetEase.

She is voiced by Gui Shen Ren (龟仙人; Guī Xiān Rén), a Chinese internet singer, radio broadcaster, and voice actress. She was the winning participant for Lorra's voice provider contest.

Concept
Lorra is a quiet and reticent 16 year old girl who came to the human world from a magical dimension with a mysterious mission. Due to dimensional turbulence, the exit was displaced, and she happened to crash into Yuezheng Ling's house. The first time Lorra came to the human world, she was very unfamiliar with her surroundings. She has a supernatural or superhuman feel, and a clear cold voice when she sings. With Ling's help, she became a VOCALOID. Lorra has an "eye awakening" ability which can give her an insight to which person has a musical potential and she can activate this potential through her voice, giving it the equivalent of magic.

Etymology
The surname Zhànyīn (战音), when combined, means "war sound" or "sound of war" in Chinese. "Zhàn" (战) can mean "battle" or "fight". The surname corresponds to the online RPG, ZhanyinOL, where players use rhythms to battle.

Appearance
Lorra has white hair and different coloured eyes, due to one of them being "awakened" (the right eye). Her design is based on loudspeakers.

Relations

 * Yuezheng Ling - Companion

Marketing
Zhanyin Lorra was created in collaboration with NetEase to promote the online RPG, ZhanyinOL. There will be songs in the game that would feature Lorra to promote her in return.

In 2014, Lorra and Ling had a contest to find their voice providers. In October 2014, the winner was announced to be Gui Shen Ren.

In January 2015, VOCANESE promoted a 2015 calendar celebrating the Year of the Ram. Lorra and Ling were featured on the front cover, while all VOCANESE characters were featured in the inside contents.

On February 25th, two official t-shirts by Manchy were revealed. One used Lorra's finalized design image and the other was a pixel version of her.
