I think you would understand better if rather than saying Miku and Rin, we said Miku and Rin's voice providers.

However you pitch Miku or Rin, it is still the same voice provider. Vocaloids are often designed to have a range of capable voices, all from the same singer. From a human perspective all singers can sing low notes and high notes, changing pitch does not change who they are.

I think it could be represented with a Venn diagram. Miku high pitched and Miku low pitched are both still Miku, but they could also be used to represent Neru.

Neru isn't Miku and Neru isn't herself. She is represented by Miku (or Rin.)

Since no voice is set or official – you can choose whatever you want – its hard for us to see Neru as having a 'true' voice.
