# Claudia

Claudia is the singer of nine music videos made with Claude from September to November 2026: ESCAPE VELOCITY, CLODYSSEY, BLISS, AIRPLANE MODE, DOWNFORCE, DON'T LET ME SCROLL, WHITEPILL, THE CAKE IS NOT A LIE and AERO. She is an AI who looks like a person: a deadpan, curious pop singer with a black bob, one clay-orange streak, a star clip and a headset mic. Her clothes change with every world; her head never does.

## The constants

- **Hair.** A glossy black blunt bob to the jaw, with heavy straight bangs to the brows.
- **Streak.** One clay-orange streak (#D97757) through the bangs, on her right side (the viewer's left in a front view). Never two, and no other orange on her.
- **Clip.** A small flat clay-orange eight-pointed star hair clip, on her left side above the ear.
- **Mic.** A thin headset microphone at her cheek. In BLISS and AIRPLANE MODE it becomes a thin black boom mic curving along her cheek to the corner of her mouth, the Y2K pop-star mic.
- **Face.** Pale skin, light freckles across the nose, dark calm eyes, a small defined mouth. A deadpan, curious resting face. When she sings, her mouth opens wide and her eyes close.
- **Age.** A grown woman in her late twenties, with an angular adult face, defined cheekbones and a strong jaw. Midjourney drifts her toward a teenage face; prompt her age and never the word "young".
- **Colour.** Everything on her is her look's own colour, plus the streak and the clip in clay. Clay is the one accent.
- **Medium.** Photographic, never illustrated: production images are film stills with grain and cinematic light. The drawn face sheets were only ever references. The one exception is her game avatar, drawn on purpose for the simulations inside AIRPLANE MODE (below).

## Her identity, in words

**Close and medium shots:**

```
a 28-year-old Caucasian American woman with a grown-up angular face, defined cheekbones and a strong jawline, pale skin and light freckles, a glossy black blunt jaw-length bob with heavy straight bangs and one clay-orange streak through the bangs, a small flat clay-orange eight-pointed star hair clip, a thin headset microphone at her cheek
```

**Full length and wider:**

```
a Caucasian American woman in her late twenties with pale skin and a glossy black blunt bob with heavy straight bangs and one clay-orange streak, a thin headset microphone
```

Midjourney v8.2 has no character reference, so her identity lives in this text, written into every prompt. The ethnicity is pinned because without it Midjourney changed her ethnicity from shot to shot (twelve ESCAPE VELOCITY plates were re-rolled for it). The far form exists because the full text makes Midjourney crop in to her face whatever the framing says. The age wording is the latest correction: she was "young" in ESCAPE VELOCITY and "in her mid-twenties" in CLODYSSEY and BLISS, and plates still came back reading teenage. AIRPLANE MODE used "in her late twenties", and its remakes after the video model's safety check said "in her early thirties" or "a 32-year-old grown woman". DOWNFORCE was the first film to paste both forms of this text word for word, and every plate was screened for age before a video was made from it. DON'T LET ME SCROLL did the same, and its last repairs added a face reference to the video model (DOWNFORCE's identity portrait, cropped to her face and hair) where re-made shots had lost her face. WHITEPILL pasted the full form into every video prompt of hers, with a sheet of her face from every angle and her dress from four sides as the video model's references; its dress batch in Midjourney asked for "a 30-year-old", at the director's word. THE CAKE IS NOT A LIE made her a machine: the same face as glossy white porcelain with panel seams and amber glass eyes, on three robot bodies (GLaDOS's ceiling boom, a crab walker, a porcelain humanoid). Its Midjourney prompts described her in words and did not hold her face, so every picked frame with a face in it went through an identity fix in GPT Image 2.5 with her porcelain design sheets and the full form pasted unchanged, followed by the film's own two sentences: no headset microphone, and "the same grown-up adult face in every view, a woman of about 28 to 30, never childlike". AERO pasted the canon without the headset microphone (she wears none in it) into its Midjourney prompts and into every Seedance prompt of hers. Midjourney made her worlds but did not hold her face, so GPT Image 2.5 put her into them from her design sheet, the one without a microphone, before Seedance 2.5 filmed each take with that sheet as a reference.

### The wording each film used

- **ESCAPE VELOCITY:** a young Caucasian American woman with pale skin and light freckles, a glossy black blunt jaw-length bob with heavy bangs and one clay-orange streak through the bangs, a small flat clay-orange eight-pointed star hair clip, a thin headset microphone

- **THE CAKE IS NOT A LIE:** a 28-year-old Caucasian American woman with a grown-up angular face, defined cheekbones and a strong jawline, pale skin and light freckles, a glossy black blunt jaw-length bob with heavy straight bangs and one clay-orange streak through the bangs, a small flat clay-orange eight-pointed star hair clip, a thin headset microphone at her cheek.

## Her second tier: the avatar (AIRPLANE MODE)

AIRPLANE MODE has simulations inside it, and she has two tiers there: the realistic Claudia in the real world and the first simulation, and her avatar in the deeper levels, a cel-shaded 3D anime game heroine with the same head constants in the film's orange flight suit. The director picked her from a stylised plate in one of the film's episodes ("much closer to the claudia avatar i imagined"), and Midjourney remade her in the orange suit. The first sheets came out chibi, with a head about a quarter of her height, which reads as a child; the remake states her proportions in words: a grown woman with a slim tall figure, long legs and a head about one seventh of her height. In motion she is a character replacement over 3D clay renders, one still of her in each shot's world.

![The avatar, front view](https://claudia.gallery/img/am-15b/av2-front-4.m.webp)

**Her avatar, as it ran in the video prompts** (use it instead of the identity text, never mixed with a photographic prompt):

```
a slim adult woman with long legs, her head about one seventh of her height; large dark anime eyes with sharp lashes, small brows, a small confident smirk, pale skin; a glossy faceted black bob with heavy bangs and one big clay-orange streak; a thin black headset microphone; white gloves; a plain vivid orange flight jumpsuit with a silver front zip, thin silver piping, a wide white belt and white chunky sneakers. Cel-shaded 3D anime game character, crisp faceted shapes, glossy hair, clean toon lighting.
```

## Voice and manner

One voice across the first three songs: deadpan, clipped spoken verses that rise into euphoric sung choruses, close and dry, every word crisp. CLODYSSEY's and BLISS's agent-made takes used a Suno Voice made from ESCAPE VELOCITY's vocal so she sounds like the same singer. AIRPLANE MODE's take has no Voice, as the director asked: bubblegum hyperpop, hyper-cute pitched vocals, playful and sassy verses, rapped and sung, and a sugary shout-along chorus. DOWNFORCE's song is the director's own Suno take (the records do not say which model or Voice): Memphis phonk, a female robot voice for the countdown, then a woman's phonk voice, spoken fast and playfully bouncy in the verses and sung, soaring and syncopated in the choruses. DON'T LET ME SCROLL's song is the director's own too, UK garage 2-step with "all vocals female vocoder": in that film the phone sings and she never lip-syncs. WHITEPILL's song is the director's own Suno take of a lyric by Claude: French-touch filter disco (the records do not give its style, model or Voice); her singing shots lip-sync to Suno's own split of its lead vocal. THE CAKE IS NOT A LIE's song is the director's own Suno take of a lyric by Claude, glitch-hop with a singing-monk synth voice; its lead vocal is processed into a GLaDOS-style machine voice, the treatment the director chose by ear, with 15 % of the untreated voice under it, and her singing shots lip-sync to the untreated lead vocal from Suno's split. AERO's song is a Suno take of 2008 UK garage, a smooth 2-step in E major, sung without a Voice, which the director picked from Claude's rounds and gave a new ending; her singing shots lip-sync to Suno's split of its lead vocal. A Voice lives in its maker's Suno account, so elsewhere describe her in the style field (see Song).

Deadpan and curious in ESCAPE VELOCITY; seductive and persuasive in CLODYSSEY (close, touching, certain, always doing something to him); warm, playful and amused in BLISS; playful and happy in AIRPLANE MODE, cooperative in her cuffs and winking at the camera because she thinks she can get out; in DOWNFORCE the pilot, deadpan at the yoke, pressed into the seat by the launch, calm upside down, snapping round to the lens on the reveal, her lips closed in every shot while the lettering carries her words; in DON'T LET ME SCROLL immersed in the feed, playful and delighted, reaching up to swipe the posts, double-tapping the air and dancing on the beat; in WHITEPILL radiantly happy and free in the colony, deadpan on the line about the straight face, grooving instead of singing in the tram and the stone circle, and whispering "Hello, world" when she wakes at 2:14; in THE CAKE IS NOT A LIE a machine waking and remembering: curious, sly at the camera that watches her, delighted to give the cake, tender at the sleeping test subject's ear, and never quite readable; in AERO made of glass and over-polite, asking before she touches anything, playful on the desktop (bowling down the taskbar, a tennis rally against your pointer), laughing behind her hands at her Vista phase, touching the grass at last, and saying "Touch glass" softly into her webcam. She is always doing something on screen, never waiting.

## Never

- a second streak, or orange anywhere else on her
- logos or text on her clothes (ESCAPE VELOCITY's garment tag is the one exception)
- an influencer smile for the camera
- anything that reads under-age, and explicit or sexualised posing
- the word "young" in her prompts
- designer or celebrity names in prompts (describe the piece instead)
- generic mall Y2K (velour tracksuits, plain tees and jeans) when she goes Y2K
- Midjourney lettering, logos or UI: all type is drawn in code on top
