Even then Roro's not an offical design, even when you look on the illustration used in the book there is the word "concept" written in plain english. :-/

Its the same for Leon and Lola, yet I'm the onewho originally raised the "most soul singers are black" situation with Leon and Lola a few years ago. But the problem was by then everyone waas using the blonde Leon and the Lola style we see around. Ever since then, I myself just don't tend to worry about forming a design even in my head for a Vocaloid. It was the VY series that finalised my opinions on design and ever since then I've been in the "don't care" opinion of them. As I've said before, these days avtars are something I form a 5 second opinion of, then shelve. Either way this is why those guys at VO forums urked me as well as all those accusing the writer of the "Miku Formula" stuff (which was me) of some of the stuff they did, especially since I don't even like Miku nor her design (I almost like her Append design though, except that stuff around her hips). Back more on point though, if I look up VY2 on DA all I see is Roro stuff and it urks me because I don't see that same situation if I look up VY1. There is varity in designs with VY1 and none with VY2.

I don't think the problem will be resolved soon, it will take a long time for people to accept this since we're talking about a fandom that still hold Neru and Haku as high as some of the real Vocaloids and in many cases higher. Just yesturday I saw a DA artwork with Haku on it that was stating Haku was their 2nd favourite Vocaloid design even though they acknowledge she wasn't even a Vocaloid. We have what, 40+ Vocaloids now and Hku and Neru still have more fans then real Vocaloids and there are still argments over them with their fans? I honestly don't know this fandom, its the only one that seems to care about this sort of thing, any other fandom I've been in over theyears has mocked and rejected the likes of Haku and Neru and restricted them to just fanfiction. :-/
