Hello. May I add something important?

While you don't have to portray Leon and Lola as black people, you should do so anyway. The media lacks representation of lots of people of color, and irregardless of if Leon "doesn't sound black to you" (although I personally really dislike the statement) you should draw him black or at least picture him as a black person, and Lola, too.

There are a lack of blac Vocaloids. We have a chance to fix this problem. So why shouldn't we? Draw designs of Leon and Lola as African-Americans, or make headcanons of them or write fanfiction or just do anything involving them being African-American. Give people of color some nice representation. They don't exactly have too much of it. Will it kill you to not make them white? No, it won't.

Important note: I am white. Very, very pale, in fact. And I think it's important to portray these two as people of color. Enough said.
