She is voiced by Furukawa Miki of Supercar.
[[Fanon]] portrays her as rather alien, both in personality and in species (since her android markings are very distinctive in contrast to those of the [[Ridiculously
-----
Line 21:
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: A popular fan depiction, goes with [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] below, though this interpretation is more honest in her... er... uneducated demeanor.
* [[Expressive Hair]]: Fans have speculated that her ahoge changes according to her mood, making her default 'question-mark' mood curiosity. Whether this means she also counts as [[The Ditz]] is debatable.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: She is voiced by Furukawa Miki, of the band Supercar.
* [[Human Alien]]: Fans also have speculated that she may be some kind of alien, due to her doll joints, unusual name, and the stars on her outfit.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: A lot of fans take her innocence/curiosity as a rouse to hide [http://RevolutionBoi.deviantart.com/art/H-Miku-VN02-Unleashed-1-5-157926824 pure awesome].
* [[Plucky Girl]]
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]

* [[Tomboy]]: Due to her deep voice, she is portrayed by this.
** Some producers are able to subvert this stereotype either by raising her voice (with good tuning) like in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD8Vk-5AhJQ Banton Summer Sky], or by making her sing opera like this amazing rendition of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eRel19HM6E Ave Maria] (potentially giving the classic style Vocaloids like Prima and Miriam a run for their money).
Line 139:
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: A wakizashi, technically. Some people in fandom even extend further into the joke and say that it is a katana, or even Gakupo's katana, making both duet in a few songs.

* [[Ridiculously
* [[Rose-Haired Girl|Rose Haired Guy]]: Again, in his winning design.

** The ones that don't usually have a sort of muted red/brown for her eyes.
* [[He Who Fights Monsters|She Who Fights Monsters]]/PayEvilUntoEvil: In ''Daughter of Vengeance,'' she leads the rebellion against [[God Save Us From the Queen|Rin,]] who she plans to execute, but upon discovering that Len has pulled a [[Twin Switch]] with Rin, she kills him anyway, because he's the only person she (Rin) loves and Meiko wants to make her suffer like she suffered.

* [[Green Is Blue]]: The color of her hair is all over the place because of this trope.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Her voice samples come from [
* [[Hotter and Sexier]]: Her Append boxart has been accused of being oversexualized.
* [[Jack of All Trades]]: As of her Append upgrade; her six extra voicebanks theoretically should give her the proper tonal qualities to produce most kinds of music now. Append was created in response to user complaints that Miku's voice was too cute and cheery for some of the songs people wanted to make with her.
Line 251:
** ''Rotten Girl, Grotesque Romance'' deserves a special mention [[Moral Event Horizon|mention]]. The [[Hell Is That Noise|meow]] doesn't help.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Turquoise Hair]]: However, it may alternate between different shades of green and blue.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: wearing [[Thigh
=== Kagamine Rin / Kagamine Len ===
Line 262:
In [[Fanon]], Rin is usually portrayed as a somewhat cruel [[Genki Girl]] and Len as a cute boy.
Debating on whether they are mirror images or twins will cause [[Internet Backdraft]], as Crypton once described them as opposite sides of a mirror ("kagami" meaning "mirror"), but later [[Flip

* [[Iconic Item]]: Aside from [[Trademark Favorite Food|oranges and bananas]], the ''roda rora'' (Roadroller) is also synonymous with the Kagamine twins.
Line 314:
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: They tend to be this in the darker songs. Usually, it's Rin (''Evil series'', ''Fear Garden'' and ''Thirteen Year Old Killer'') but Len has played this role in ''The Riddle Solver Who Couldn't Solve Riddles'', ''Spice!'' and ''Psychotic Love Song'' and ''both'' of them have played this in ''Trick and Treat.''
* [[What Have I Done]]: Rin in ''Message of Regret.''
* [[Who Wears Short Shorts?]]: Rin wears short shorts!
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RrCIdDD4cc&feature=PlayList&p=753E1DA495B0D33B&index=95: Len has done so on a] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv--HeduLNw: couple of occasions] (sometimes against his will). And he looked quite good doing it.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Rin in ''Karakuri Burst''.
Line 337:

* [[Hair Decorations]]: Lui, a boy, wears them.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Ring's voice provider MiKA, debuting as DaisyxDaisy.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Take into account that Ring's original design had a theme that consisted of rings, in particular the ones that use to [[Anti-Gravity Clothing|hover around her ankles]]. When it comes to translating her original last name, "Bell Sound, Ring".

* [[Everything's Better With Penguins]]: A minor meme at most, but he seems to have a good relationship with antarctic animals.
* [[Megane]]: E-capsule Big Al sports a pair of white glasses.
* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]: His original voice is ridiculously deep and rumbly. The fandom had been aching for a deep-voiced male vocaloid for ages, so they latched this trope onto him and never let it go.
** His final voice isn't quite as deep, but is still much deeper than the other male vocaloids.
** Hell, just listen to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QM7XylR4LNg THIS]! Manly to the MAX!
Line 695:

* [[Skirt Over Slacks]]: She wears shorts under her skirt.
* [[The Voiceless]]: Like Haku, had no voice in Project DIVA (Due to being an unofficial cameo). Also like Haku, averted in Project DIVA 2nd in the same fashion. [[Tsundere|All of her celebratory quotes sound displeased, no matter how well the player performs]].
Line 952:
* [[Detached Sleeves]]
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]: She spends most if not all of her time with a shocked, sleepy, or angry expression.
* [[Super
* [[When She Smiles]]: In [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exAmqVtYbis the opening] for ''Project Diva 2nd'', she actually smiles for once.

* [[Oranyan]]: In fanfictions, he's usually rather nice to Haku, but a total [[Jerkass]] to everyone else, ''especially'' the Vocaloids.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Averted...[[Oranyan|or not, depending on his mood]].
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Fanart sometimes makes his smoking this way, but the original conception of this character is meant to be like Yowane Haku. In other words, his voice doesn't sound as good because he smokes, which could be considered an aversion.
