As for Syo, well he said already he is going to be less involved with Vocaloid ages ago. It took up too much of his time and hasn't really paid off for him.

On the other hand, her being a white female instead of black, well there is perhaps more logic to this. *sigh*, there is no "race" as per such in Vocaloid. As disappointed as I am, do note White Leon i we're going to discuss race. Even with knowledge of his provider being Black, people are still using White leon, even though its annoying.

But sadly, remember also that there is inequality in the world and its easier to accept a pale skin tone then a darker one. *le sigh*, the world is cruel. I feel the artist of his particular art for Ruby didn't even know that Ruby's provider was black. See how difficult it is to portray any form of Race in vocals? Unless the artist is up to date with Ruby herself, she won't even know more then the design specs that PFX sent them.

Also I've e-mailed PFX in the past saying they were sticking with characters since Big Al, this was a few years ago, yeah. Maybe PFX has changed their mind? Who knows, lets play the waiting game and calm down. -/
