God damn Tataru has been sustaining her carbuncle all this time, even from halfway across the world.
Clearly, we know who she really is then. Slight joking below.
Considering you're told by Emet-Selch that Altima's job in the Convocation is basically over Art, and Tataru is a brilliant designer of clothing, she's clearly the Source's Altima. She is able to sustain the Carbuncle because of how much hidden Aether reserves she has as one of the reincarnations of Altima. So we had the ultimate ruler of fashion behind us the entire time!
