Except Levia and Behemo ARE Kagamines, and Elluka Chirclatia IS a Luka??? Is there something I'm missing here where mothy went "Nah, totally not Vocaloid characters"??? Because last time I checked they were very definitely Kagamine and Luka characters respectively. Their designs are definitely a lot more unique than most Kagamine and Luka designs, but Levia is still very obviously a grown up Rin in a lab coat, Behemo is a grown up Len in a maid dress, and Elluka is literally a palette swap. And when you consider that pretty much ALL of the other Kagamine characters in the series are either direct or indirect clones of L&B there's just no WAY they can't NOT be grown-up, adult Kagamines.

Are you guys trying to argue that their designs aren't as blatantly Vocaloid-derived as other characters in the series? Because okay, that's a fair argument, Maria's design could be slightly different from the Standard Miku Formula. When you say "She may not be a Miku" though you are making it sound like she's actually Prima or Sonika or something, or that Elluka was, in fact, Lily the whole time, or that L&B are actually Leon and Lola or VY1 and VY2. Like..... What??? NONE of that makes any sense.

Mariam at least has the excuse of her ACTUAL Vocaloid being discontinued with no port to newer software versions, while currently also being the only example of mothy outright substituting Vocaloids, but something sounds EXTREMELY weird here that Maria may somehow not be a Miku even though she's played by Miku and all her thematic relationships thus far (such as the MotC and Madame Merry-Go-Round references) have pointed to her being a Miku. I'm genuinely sorry if I'm just getting us further off track, but I am legitimately confused by the wording. How are these guys..... NOT Vocaloid characters for the Vocaloid portraying them???
