There is very, VERY little to think it is Levia in FML save for the fact that she is a scientist and Rin character. Literally nothing she does in FML squares with what we know about Levia's actions. She was not attempting to create anyone during her college days, and if we are assuming she is the girl in Barisol we know that she wasn't created, she was given birth to. There's also the fact that she acknowledges that if she killed Behemo, she would be infected/permanently altered with Malice--for any value of what that means, it suggests that she hasn't killed anyone yet. FML mentions her coat getting stained with blood, which suggests she has.

Rin character is not studying war. She's experimenting with life.

FML also mentions playing with someone and "always being here". I don't know about the first one, but I doubt she would have planned to always be in college.

I'm not saying it's 100% Irina, because there are issues with linking the songs up. But there's more to suggest it's Irina than suggesting it's Levia.

As for Barisol's Child, what we can say with more certainty is that even if it's not Levia and Behemo, mothy has left enough explicit clues in the song that he wants us to make that assumption. Pretty much every single person who saw the whole song assumed it was about Levia and Behemo--Even me, and I originally refused to believe it was until it was finished. This isn't a case of us jumping the gun on vague information like Allen and Irregular (where there were a few vague hints but nothing that, say, described Irregular as "a boy who died in a revolution to save his princess sister"). Mothy is giving us a sign pointing at what conclusion we should draw about it. Might he put in a plot twist at a later point? Perhaps.

Considering everything going on in the song it sounds highly unlikely that it could be referring to any other set of twins, especially considering how it answers one very nagging and persistent question for those of us who care about how twin genetics work--how could Levia and Behemo--and by extension, all the other Kagamine twins--be identical but opposite sexes? It seems at first like mothy's just rolling with how the Kagamines are designed in Vocaloid canon. But now we know. It's because they're not twins like we thought they were.

--Not to act like that's legitimate proof but to pull the rug out from under us and say "Haha it's actually another set of twins altogether!" after putting in so much evidence that it's Levia and Behemo would be just making a twist for twist's sake, rather than elaborating on vague information in a way we didn't expect.

It's not like we haven't done this in the past. Think of Blink and And Then the Girl Went Mad--we assumed they were about Riliane and Nemesis without album confirmation of their names, despite the fact that neither song (or album, unless I'm remembering wrong) explicitly gave them. Because we knew based on context that it was highly unlikely to be anyone else.

I'm not saying putting in a qualifier to suggest we're not certain would be the worst thing in the world when writing the article, but it just seems unnecessary to me.
