Its the giant jellyfish behind her, in the west tentacles are considered nightmare fuel.

I find her facial features unattractive and a little too chiselled, so she could pass as a man to me. Plus take away the Jellyfish and the design is... Boring... A little too simple. I mean Nana has a simple design, but without the Jellyfish Lumi's is so simple its plain. I do praise simple designs over over-complex ones (such as exampled by Tone Rion's original design), but there is a balance wherein designs that are too simple can lack a talking point. Its the lack of detail and her basically wearing a plain white dress with no detail, in addition... Thee is nothing to indicate she is a singer.

To me she it seems she was inspired by Lusamine and Nihilego from Sun and Moon and I've never been able to unsee the link in the design especially as in Moon and Sun the Pokemon took over Lusamine and the two fought as one. Since Sun and Moom were released prior and pokemon is very popular in Japan with Lusamine being popular too, I have presumed Lumi is based on her and thats that. However, like most inspirations within Vocaloid, the inspiration can be seen, but the end result is not identical to the source of inspiration. Due to any possible copyright problems that can occur as Nintendo is a much bigger company then the devs behind this Vocaloid, they will likely never confirm this even if its true through fear of retribution and a lawsuit from Nintendo.

I didn't like the way Crusher-P tuned her but I have no real comments as Lumi's pretty much "meh" to me. Its a vocal that produces nothing we've seen before and has a range set more closer to V2 era voices and less like V3/V4 era vocals.
