The rings around AVANNA's waist float/spin with the power of her voice, but will stay motionless when she is not singing. The little flower shapes worked into AVANNA’s outfit are clovers, hinting at her Irish heritage. AkiGlancy has shown several specific historical clothing references she was inspired by on her twitter. ĪVANNA’s outfit was inspired by Roman-Britannia, specifically, the Celts who received Roman influence during the first century of Britannia’s occupation by the Roman Empire. According to AkiGlancy, the reason why the AVANNA's hair was lengthened was because she was requested to make her look more feminine. ĭuring the process of AVANNA's design, even though alternate colors were considered, Zero-G specifically asked for her to have black hair. YAMAHA also requested that AVANNA be more "anime"-styled.

While it is unknown why Zero-G chose the name "Avanna" according to the name's origins, it is a combination of the old English word "Ava," meaning "breath of life," and the Latin name "Anna," meaning "gracious." This results in the implied meaning of her name being "gracious breath of life."
