Who Is This Gust Character? A New Atelier Star?

Famitsu posted a New Year’s greeting card from Gust with a girl holding what appears to be a giant key.

The pink haired girl hasn’t appeared in any game before so who is she? Famitsu surmises this card and character point at a new entry in Gust’s long running Atelier series.

Clever tease, huh? NIS America used to do something similar with their Christmas cards. In past years, they had art hinting at future releases like Soul Nomad.
