This voicebank was later revealed to be Ci flower. flower's box art illustration was done by Yamako while the character design was done by Rocoru. Both artists are members of HoneyWorks, the circle who made flower's first demo. Her clothing appears to have a Gothic theme, with her outfit possessing traditional Gothic characteristics. flower's V4 design was initially drawn in July 2014 by the artist, Miwasiba. The appearance was done as fanart and was a "shota" version of flower. The official Twitter account for flower noted that the VOCALOID4 design was the "short-haired" or stamen version of flower while the original VOCALOID3 design was the "long-haired" or pistil version and that both reflect the "perfect flower". The Twitter account also stated that the change of hairstyle did not change her nature, with Miwasiba confirming that flower is 'still a girl' on the official VOCALOID Facebook and reference sheets despite adopting a "shota" design.
