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.

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.
