Next character in The First Descendant teased, players suspect Dominique

Nexon teased a new Descendant on August 13, 2024, showing just a silhouette of the character and letting players know that she has ice abilities. With such a small amount of information, players have been left guessing who this mysterious Descendant could be.

It's possible that the new Descendant could be Dominique, and many players have come forward to suggest this on Reddit and on the Twitter announcement post.

Dominque is found in Hagios with Blair, and another user on Reddit believes that a leak revealed she's in the Chill class, alongside Viessa. Despite the weapon predictions from players who have seen the sniper-like weapon the new character has, I don't think that the silhouette of the new Descendant fits what we've seen of Dominique so far. It's also unlikely that Nexon would redesign an existing character to release them as a Descendant.

If you compare the image of Dominque from the mission she gives and the silhouette, there are too many differences. Dominque always wears a hood, and we know she has bangs - neither of these features are shown in the silhouette image. There's also no shoulder armor, which is a pretty obvious part of Dominique's outfit design.

Another suggestion was Captain Harris, but there are even more discrepancies between the silhouette and Captain Harris' outfit design than Dominque's design. Her hair is worn high, compared to the silhouette's low bun-style hair, and the jacket doesn't match.

It's more likely that Nexon has designed a new Descendant to add to the roster. It's great to see another Chill attribute Descendant, considering so many Descendants don't have attributes.

The most recent new Descendant, Luna, came to The First Descendant in Hotfix 1.0.5 at the end of July. We could be waiting a little while until the next Descendant drops into the game, but I don't think Nexon will keep us waiting too long.

For example, Luna was announced via a similar silhouette post exactly a week before she was added to the game. Does that mean that the new Chill Descendant will be in Hotfix 1.0.8? Guess we'll find out soon enough.
