There's several factors related to this:


 * Voctro Labs hasn't shared explicitly that Leire is Maika's VP, the only official MAIKA derivate recognized from Voctro is ONA, anything else that they shared or retweeted is just done to show up fan's work on their sites.


 * Leire is from the Basque Country and there's no registry of her singing in Catalan. MAIKA's VP however does know Catalan (otherwise she wouldn't have known how to properly pronounce the extra phonemes, Spanish and Catalan have certain phonemes that are not shared between them).


 * Most people thought Leire was her VP because of Voctro's involvement with Ballantine (LODVG only did the musical and melody base) and them trying to find a configuration to make Maika as close as Leire's tone. Two singers can have a similar tone yet be different Voice Providers.
