indie virtual youtuber character prompts — 135 NovelAI character tags

How to prompt indie virtual youtuber characters in NovelAI

This page lists 135 character tags from indie virtual youtuber that work in NovelAI, each with a sample image.

Every image uses the same seed and prompt, so the only difference between two cards is how well each character comes through.

Put the character tag first and the series tag right after it. The series tag helps avoid mix-ups between characters with the same name and helps keep the outfit consistent.

Example prompt: yuuki sakuna, indie virtual youtuber, solo

When a character's name collides with another tag, the tag takes the form "name (series abbreviation)". The part in parentheses belongs to the tag, so keep it.

From the Danbooru wiki

A solo Virtual YouTuber who is not affiliated directly with a (major) corporate group, and is thus independent.

If the indie Virtual YouTuber(s) in question is:

part of a broader VTuber group consisting of at least one more VTuber, the copyright tag instead would be that of that given group, to account for the (hash)tags that the individual character tags couldn't include under their wiki's Other Names;
sharing a channel with at least one (1) more VTuber, the copyright tag would be of the channel instead, for similar reasons as above;
under a corporate support group (i.e. VirtuaReal Link, etc.), depending on the circumstance, they receive their own copyright tag, due to the nature of their affiliation with said corporate entity and the potential for them to just leave it if they wanted to;

This tag can also alternatively serve as a pseudo-original tag, allowing one to use both the relevant request tags, if they are uncertain about the VTuber and their affiliations.
