#I'm pretty sure it's meant to be Caitlyn cause xayah/rakan and lux/ezreal are there

*Zoom* *enhance* Can someone tell me if this official Riot art drawn by Thaimoon_ posted by Riot Brazil in 2018 for K/DA’s initial release features Caitlyn or Irelia?
My gut instinct tells me it’s Caitlyn cause 1) the sidepart long hair style is the one that she normally has
Tumblr media
Riot typically has Irelia in a middle part and when they change her hairstyle it’s usually blunt or textured bangs (see: Aviator, Infiltrator, Divine Sword, Nightblade). The only time we ever see Irelia with a sidepart is Order of the Lotus but that’s just one (1) skin among them all. 
2) She’s wearing a hat which is pretty much shorthand for Caitlyn. The majority of Caitlyn skins have her with a hat (ironically one of the major ones where she didn’t got her accused of looking like Irelia). The only skin that has Irelia wearing a hat is Aviator where she wears the Aviator cap and she normally has some form of diadem anyways. (Project doesn’t count cause it’s a hood). 
3) Jinx and Vi are both there why have 2/3rds of Ainsworth’s trifecta and not have their securely attached member represent? AT THE SAME THOUGH that reason is also throwing me off cause why have Caitlyn be with Sona Like That when her girlfriend/wife is right there? Like Xayah/Rakan (who’re featured here) Riot normally doesn’t separate them so like what gives???
But Irelia is universally drawn with black hair and Caitlyn blue aaaargh
