I'm increasingly thinking the fifth is Sandrone with a new outfit. It looks like she's crossing her arms.
167
u/snitch22 Jan 02 '26 edited Jan 02 '26
I think the fifth is doing arms behind her back and bending over posture. The “Happy-go-lucky girl” pose. But maybe I’m wrong.

After rebuilding Sandrone, we find out her personality matrix was wrongly repaired and she now identifies as a gyaru-clanker
Her character quest is the Traveller, Columbina, & Arlecchino trying to fix her back into a proper tsundere

Wow pretty subtle notice there - Varka really could be a follower of the Arundolyn combat style (the historical Knights Of Favonius Grand Master which fights with a longsword and greatsword on each hand)

u/ThatCreepyBaer Jan 02 '26
The other sword does look to be more of a longsword than a claymore (greatsword) so you might be onto something.

u/Shalashaska87B Mavuika goes brooom! Jan 02 '26
That's what I was looking for.
And you're probably the same user who I replied to some time ago...
Back before this, which were the tags known/unknown?
I am fairly sure that Varka was there, but I honestly don't remember the others...

u/Kaiidon Jan 02 '26 edited Jan 02 '26
I think the only leaked was 6.4 128 Varka, 6.4 Lohen (Standard), 6.5 130 Snegurochka, 6.6 131 Nicole, and 6.7 133 Sandrone
Lohen just makes sense to be 129 since he’s the 6.4 standard (but he was never given an ID), but Linnea isn’t fully confirmed to be 132 (if there indeed is 2 after Sandrone, she could be 134/135)
- 134/135 COULD exist because they didn’t show Ineffa in the Natlan silhouettes, but there is a cruel world where the Manekins take those final two slots (like Aloy did)
- Some sources are saying Snegurochka/Linnea’s silhouettes are switched, since the elf/angel/robot girl looks like Aino’s cutscene and it would make sense for Aino/Ineffa’s friend to have a robot - but Snegurochka is the Snowland Fae/Elf
- Because of this, people are saying the short model is "Gretel", an Outrider Amber mentioned in the most recent event (based on hair bow/armor), and Snegurochka's silhouette isn't shown, but who really knows at this point
Sources:
- 6.4 Varka
- 6.4 Lohen (Standard)
- IDs (128 Varka, 131 Nicole, 133 Sandrone)
- IDs (6.5 130 Snow Maiden, 6.6 Nicole, 6.7 Sandrone)
Honestly it's fun to know all the leaks and still be able to speculate who is who lmaooooo. Brings me back to the days when new content was truly new (like when things are dropped suddenly, Winter Lazzo/Shades, or we've never seen it like the Neuvillette skin) - but I NEED to look at it to plan my primos accordingly lololol

I think ppl need to remember something about these previews. Even counting the missing one on the right this might not be everyone. Remember Ineffa wasnt in the silhouettes for Natlan and they had 7 not counting her. We had 9 characters before the preview in natlan and we have 9 before this one counting luna 4, so the 5(6 with reflection) here we should have 1 more still at least.
Unless theyre counting the manekins which god i hope not 😭

My guesses in order:
- Lohen

- Nicole
- Gretel (Amber mentions her in recent event)
- Linnea
Hidden 6th. Sandrone.
I do think the Snow Maiden is real but not shown here. Maybe she's 6.8 and not 6.5. She kinda fills the transitional region character perfectly.
