==Concept==
DEX and DAINA were given the theme, '', at the suggestion of Lupin.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8pNp3gYztg They were intended to be counterparts that complement each other.http://www.vocaloidotaku.net/index.php?/topic/60706-dex-and-daina-two-new-vocaloids-from-zero-g-names-not-final/page__st__30 DEX was based on the Hound character of the story and has more "wolf"-like traits.http://engloids.info/news/new-zero-g-vocaloid-4-dex-and-daina-revealed-in-live-stream-convention-panel/ Lupin said that DEX and DAINA were a pair, but were not twins.http://www.vocaloidotaku.net/index.php?/topic/60706-dex-and-daina-two-new-vocaloids-from-zero-g-names-not-final/page__st__75__p__1268561&#entry1268561 When asked about the aims of both DEX and DAINA, it was stated that the pair were targeted towards fans and designed to give producers the voices they needed.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WWo2CgHqCli96CLY8yOkHczVf3_wybtPOzjij2DpAUE/edit The theme of "fox and hound" was one of many suggestions put forward, but it was the one that stayed due to a fondness among the group despite being taken lightly. The design was chosen after the team adored the primary sketches by EmissarySteel.http://engloids.info/news/dex-and-daina-livestream-summary/#more-2850
===Etymology===
His original name was "Raleigh", but "Dex" was preferred due to sounding more masculine.
===Appearance===
DEX made his debut as a modelled after a wolf.https://twitter.com/Kenji_Baionoto/status/612526464710283264 The choice was made to give a twist of the popular design seen in SeeU and Nekomura Iroha.
EmpathP remarked that they knew many would not like the designs and focused on the vocals instead.http://engloids.info/news/dex-and-daina-livestream-summary/#more-2850
After negative reactions from distributors, DEX was also given an alternative design without the animal traits, but still retained the theme of The Fox and The Hound. This was done to appeal to non Japanese-styled art fans.About the alt design The alternative design featured DEX without his wolf ears and tail. The ears were replaced by black headsets with a yellow wolf on it. This version of DEX appears on the boxart.
Older concepts were revealed during a November 2015 livestream. This included DEX as a hunter instead of a kemonomimi, in case Zero-G wished to scrap the 'Fox and Hound' theme. However, Zero-G liked the designs and they were kept as alternate fantasy illustrations, complementary to AVANNA.http://www.vocaloidotaku.net/index.php?/topic/60706-dex-and-daina-two-new-vocaloids-from-zero-g/page__view__findpost__p__1312285 According to AkiGlancy, EmissarySteel added more detail to the hunter design than the final chosen art. The final design was because Zero-G preferred it.http://www.vocaloidotaku.net/index.php?/topic/60706-dex-and-daina-two-new-vocaloids-from-zero-g/page__view__findpost__p__1312643
