Did they forget to add an NPC?

So if you study the Valentiones Day image there's the two main characters for the event and an AuRa girl but we never see her, did they just forget to add her in?

You're not allowed to have Xaela characters outside of the steppe or Dark Knight questline.

You sure about that?

3 of these are from the steppe and incorporate it into their story.

1 of them is literally a shop vendor lol

Yes but that's also the Xaela homeland, it'd be like complaining there aren't any Mamool Ja that don't come from Tural, the point is that they are just introduced into the story without needing for us to return to the Steppe, and so long as that happens, where ever they come from is irrelevant.

I could also point out there are Xaela in the First, like (and admittedly an extremely minor character), Princess Sauldia from Il Mheg, who shows up in Branden's flashbacks to pre-Flood Il Mheg.

Also Alaqa from the WHM questline.

The First doesn't have Xaela at all. "Xaela" is a clan of Au Ra that only exists on the Source. The black-scaled Drahn that share the same models are typically just Drahn from noble families. Drahn themselves on the First originate in our world's equivalent of Ishgard and have nothing to do with the Steppe at all.

Now this thread is starting to feel like a mess... one person shows up and says they want Xaela that don't originate from the Steppe, which AFAIK it's literally every last Xaela in the game except maybe a Xaela WoL, and even then, and then someone else shows up and says that a Drahn(literally Au Ra under a different name) with dark scales(the defining characteristic of Xaela over Raen) aren't Xaela because they don't originate from the Steppe, instead of just being Xaela under a different cultural context.

Also Alaqa from the WHM questline.

I remembered Alaqa's existence, but I couldn't remember her name off the cuff, so I skipped her.

It's a lizard erasure agenda for 2025. We better panic.

They do this a lot with promotional art for events, for all races, it's not unusual for the art to have characters that are just there to fill the space for whatever reason.
