Again: she's gonna sit out the anniversary events thanks to being a Fanfest-exclusive thing, so it'd be very weird if it was her. Not to mention the fact that I've seen pictures of the Golden Araya arena, and part of it very clearly shows it as adjacent to Radz-at-Han. ...which also knocks out her being an event thing, because they wouldn't tie an anniversary event to an Endwalker zone.

Also it doesn't actually look that much like her, but it doesn't actually look that much like anyone being put in contention, so that's not as much of a breaker as I feel like it should be.
