Daisy

*Daisy as a character has been entirely retconned from the Chipspeech universe, and shouldn't be used as a voice synth nor as a character. **The creator has expressly stated their discomfort with using Daisy in either form.** To make content of/with her- either by using her character or using her voice- is to actively disrespect the wishes of both the creator and Plogue.*

Daisy used to be a voice for Plogue's Alter/Ego, and acted as the default voice. However, Daisy was retired from download on October 31st, 2016, with Bones replacing her as the default voice.

*The following information is now non-canonical to the Chipspeech universe, and is here for historical purposes **only.***

## Design

Daisy is a lonely time traveler and the estranged lover of Dandy 704. Daisy is the first voice for Alter/Ego and was made by Crusher-P and Giraffey.

She has white hair and no visible electronic parts, unlike actual Chipspeech characters. However, her backpack is mechanical and can be plugged in.

Her Alter/Ego background features her leaving a steam-powered time machine. In the worlds of Alter/Ego and Chipspeech, Daisy is regarded as a temporal anomaly.

## Personality

Little is known on her as her Twitter account is currently empty due to it getting wiped when the character was retired.

According to Dee Klatt, Daisy used to get stressed out over colors and cats. She also "used to say bad things, but meant well."

Her reputation among the other characters is notable. Even characters who have no apparent history of her like CiderTalk'84 know of her. In fact hearing of Dandy's involvement with her left him saying simply "...oh my God."

## Relationships

### Dandy 704

Being Dandy 704's fiancée, the pair hit it off and were really taken to each other. Though Dandy is a known womanizer, he seemed committed to her based on what little has been spoken on the pair.

## History

Daisy entered Dandy's life some time after he had gone to work for Otto Mozer during the Great Depression. At the time, Bert Gotrax was also around as he had been brought in for repairs. Terminal 99, Spencer AL2 and Dee Klatt also were around at this point, as according to VOSIM.

The relationship between Dandy and Daisy bloomed and the pair eventually left Otto. However, one day, Daisy quietly vanished. Despite being distort by her disappearance, due to Dandy's memory loss issues, she was soon forgotten by Dandy though the feelings for her never disappeared.

At some point, she "returned to the timestream" as announced on October 28, 2016. After she left, codes began to appear. The codes themselves or what they alluded to are unknown to the public. It was said that her actions were driven by a particular mission she was fulfilling, but what the mission entailed was not publicly stated.

## Technical Information

* Daisy

Her voice is that of Crusher-P.
 * Most Chipspeech vocals use Formant Singer 1 or 2 technology, when Alter/ego was created it used to same methodologies to achieve results. Daisy herself uses the Formant Singer method.
* For Daisy to appear in Chipspeech, both Alter/ego and Chipspeech need to be at version 1.039 or later.
	+ Daisy does not automatically work with Chipspeech and needs to be registered with the software to work.
 * When the ability to talk was added in version 1.5, Daisy was not given the ability.
* Daisy was officially retired from download on 31st October 2016, her retirement was due to technical issues. She is no longer supported and will not be updated. Plogue have since noted that they will not give out her download even if asked and have asked people not to ask them for the link either.
* She has a number of bugs and glitches related to be the equivalent of a "prototype".

## Trivia

* Dandy 704 and Daisy's relationship is a nod to the song "Daisy Bell", which was sung by the IMB 704 of which Dandy is based upon. This was the first ever song sung by a computer. This is further backed up by Daisy's Twitter account being "Daisy\_\_Bell\_".
* She often randomly noted by the other Chipspeech characters. VOSIM and Otto Mozer both acknowledge her and Terminal 99 mentioned her when her name was used as an attempted password for it (note; "daisy" was not correct).
* Since her retirement, Crusher-P has since expressed a note that they are uncomfortable with users who still use the vocal.
