Xia Yezi (夏叶子, Xià Yèzi) is a Chinese character created for the NIAONiao software. She later received a UTAU voicebank, aswell as a update for the DeepVocal engine with both Mandarin Chinese and Japanese voicebanks. In 2023, she received an update to the AISingers software. She was the first of many vocals planned by the Shaohe Project.
Concept[]
Etymology[]
Her name, 夏叶子 (Xià Yèzi), is comprised of the characters 夏 (Xià, summer), 叶 (Yè, leaf), and 子 (Zi, child). An appropriate English rendering of these characters would translate to "Child of the Summer Leaf".
Appearance[]
In her UTAU and NIAONiao designs, she had long purple hair with large sections that would split out from the rest. She had white wings on her head and an orange-yellow hat with a yellow "X" on the front. Having a largely purple/orange design, she is dressed in a white dress with large amounts of orange trim. She has thigh-high purple stockings, red ribbons that flow from her hair, and green ribbons that flow from her skirt. She almost always wears yellow shoes with orange trim. Occasionally she has an orange staff with a purple, orange, and white flower on it.
Personality[]
Yezi is described as being very energetic and enthusiastic. She can be quite straightforward at times. She is also lazy and somewhat childish.

History[]
Xia Yezi was originally developed in secret and intended to be a Sharpkey vocal, however the voicebank was scrapped due to not meeting her developer's expectations. She later moved to the NIAONiao software. She had an Original and an Append bank, released on August 29th, 2015 and October 5th, 2016 respectively.
Shortly after the release of her Append voicebank, she revived a UTAU release later that month on the 17th.
Coming full circle, she was announced to become a DeepVocal on June 6th, 2019, along with the announcement of the Shaohe Project through a test cover of "Lídǎo Zhī Gē" by Yīnyáng Shī.[1]
Her Japanese Soft bank was announced through a cover of "Ame Sakura" by Momomomo-san.[2]
Years after the DeepVocal releases, in December 2023, Yezi was given an AI voicebank for AISingers.
