I feel like I'm replying too often in this comment section but heres is the thing...

She basically isn't a Vocaloid character is regarded as a derivative of Miku's character/design. Since 2013 CFM's not really paid much attention to her and honestly? Bare in mind that at this point in time, their not even referencing Miku's spring onion. Haku was also originally a troll/bullying label thrown against bad Miku works on Nico Video, so represents something pretty awful in a sense. She doesn't have a voice and Yamaha doesn't acknowledge she exists. Because of this, she has no relation to Vocaloid itself and is just a CFM thing now, afterall Yamah owns Vocaloid.

In addition, the reason Haku and other characters existed was there was about 8 Japanese characters, they didn't know the Engloids existed and it was a way of making something out of nothing. Now theres 80+ characters and Engloids are not obscure, plus we now have Chineses, Korean and Spanish vocaloid with Chinese Vocaloids being as popular as Japanese ones.

What I'm saying is... Times have changed and Haku and Neru are left behind in an era that doesn't exist anymore. Haku and Neru represent an era thats gone, the 2007-2009 period when everything was new and fans went wild, millions of derivative designs existed. So the issue is, there simply is no point of her at all in 2019, what she represents is gone and died a long time ago. Fans are hanging onto a character that has no point in being in the Vocaloid franchise and is the very defination of a clinging on character. In addition while Miku herself can progress forward and adapt, change, etc, Haku and Neru can't change. Their stuck where they are and always will be because you can't really do much with them.
