If you want to claim Rakanishu to be a female human(oid), ok.

I kind of want to see Delia and Verick, the Lady of Thornās children.
But I donāt think it is them.
Doesnāt look like Queen Nightshade either.
Could they add a hero out of the blue like Orphea, maybe even a new realm and map?
Someone on reddit mentioned a character called Ellisande, which does look quite a bit like the image in the teaser. Note the neck area and the breast armor shape.

The fire imp/elemental from HS? He would be so cute in this! Him and Rag would have to have words for each other! (if Iām thinking of the right character)
If we do get a new hero, Iād prefer we got comics to introduce them first. We already knew Orphea before she was playable. We didnāt know much, but sheās at least been introduced as a character.
Unrelated, but how long do we have to wait to get a cloaked Orphea skin like her introduction comic?

Doesnāt have to be a new realm, though. It could just be a new hero out of the blue, but related to a pre-existing realm (like Orphea).
To me, the lower-right corner of the image āclearlyā shows some bamboo-like leafy stuff. So itās possible that this new hero is related to Queen Nightshade, but is not the Queen herself, like Orphea is kinda like playing the Raven lordā¦ ish.
But I personally think it looks Night Elf-ish.
Guess weāll know a bit more tomorrow.
The only way I think you can get around the nexus necklace is if you assume the devs are using concept art from a launch skin to tease the hero.
That or thereās multiple characters in the image and sheās not being teased here, or theyāre teasing a comic instead of a hero.
Rakinishu is a boss in Diablo II. Heās a cowardly little imp demon and quite infamously strong. Other Fallen Ones chant his name throughout the series. The Hearthstone character was named after him.

Not necesarily. It could just be a detail that they changed.
Nazeebo has a Troll head from Warcraft, which I think isnāt the case in D3 (I know you donāt start with one, but I donāt know if itās obtainable).
Of course, that would be a little mean of them, since itās so emphasized in that teaser.
Or sheās a pre existing character, but sheās also a realm lord now so she has a necklace.
True, but isnāt that the exception? Is there any other example of a character incorporating other universe elements in a default skin?

He also has a Zergling skull on his belt.
I think thatās a holdover from a really old model. Originally all or at least many of the heroes were going to incorporate franchise-blending on their base design. Check out 2010 Muradin:
Not that Iām aware (not in their default skins), but Iām not an expert either

I kinda get female witch doctor vibes.
But all things considered I think the amulet has sorc vibes, maybe the d2 sorc? (Li Mingās teacher)

The amulaet is the biggest problem here as it is very clearly a Singularity, making itĀ“s wearer a Realmlord, which is would be very weird.

It does look like something feathered, maybe a harpy or a valkir? yet the it doesnt look by the pendants and the necklace but you canāt forget about those feather kind of things
I mean, Mauradinā Muradin.
Iām just here for the 
let the devs do whatever they want to now. Itās not like we can realistically expect every character given last Decemberās developments. I for one welcome whoever this lady is.
