And as it happens, both of those characters are artificial humans created by some greater villain with a plan to impersonate or replace a major party member.
In Japanese, the Enigmatic Maiden’s name is 儚げに微笑む少女 which is “Girl with a Fleeting/Bitter/Fragile Smile” depending on the translation, which isn’t the same as 謎の少女 “mysterious girl”, so I’m not sure there’s meant to be any connection there. In French, she is “Young Woman with a Contrite Smile” and in German she’s “Fleetingly Smiling Girl”, so once again, it’s just the English version that stands out.

As for the girl herself, she has a line in the other language versions of the trailer about her plan finally coming to fruition now that she holds the key, which I assume to be that suspicious-looking goblet thing. I don’t think we have enough context clues on what that plan could be, but we do see an invasion force in Tuliyollal and the maps we see of Tural in-game do not include Solution Nine so their existence is definitely a surprise to everyone.
