Yellowspark wrote: She wasn't in the Web Novel Okay...? A lot of things weren't in the WN, most of v10 was non-existent at the time and I'm pretty sure that Sortiliena was first introduced in the LN. I'm fairly certain that Red-Nosed Reindeer, the only story in the main series that so much as mentions Argo, was written at the time of Alicization so it's likely that she wouldn't be introduced during the arc. She's gained quite the following since the anime and more so due to her role in Progressive, the fans love her. What Prominis suggested is quite possible, in fact it would surprise me more if she didn't show up there than if she did.
