User blog:ChishioKunrin/Mystery Girl or Fem Torchwick?

I figured this is big enough to be deserving of a blog all about it. Either I'm delirious from exhaustion or I found something.

By now, some of us have noticed the mystery girl in the volume 2 trailer, at the part where Roman unveils the giant mech. Until now, we haven't seen anyone who looks like her, and they haven't called any attention to her. Maybe she's important, and they didn't want to tip us off on that fact and wanted her to be a bit of a surprise in the show. I don't know.

At first, I didn't think we had any clue as to who she might be. Someone suggested that maybe she's related to Roman in some way, possibly a sister or something. I figured it's plausible, but iffy. That is, until...

Monty shared a photo on Facebook that includes a female!Roman cosplayer, saying "I love @soulfirephotos femme torchwick cosplay so much it gives me ideas." No, no, I figured that there's no way there was time for a cosplay at this year's RTX to have an effect on RWBY Volume 2. That is, until I took another look at the mystery girl and the fem!Roman cosplayer and realized that I could swear I have seen her before, via Monty. So, I did some digging.

I checked Soulfire Photos' Twitter, and they recently retweeted this, which gives us a good view of fem!Roman's clothing. Look similar? Minus the hat, I mean. Look at the full version of the screenshot I posted above. Take a good look. The style of her coat, the black shirt and pants, black gloves.

Much more suspicious is this tweet where Soulfire Photos actually points her out with a screenshot, saying "OH HEY WHO'S THAT IN THE BACKGROUND #RWBY"

By the way, this is who often takes photos of Sheena Duquette's cosplays, especially her Cinder cosplays. Sheena has a pretty close connection to Monty, and Monty really quite likes Soulfire Photos.
