Occult imagery on nurse's bag is obvious. Her poster shows a fear motif. Combo of two unused niches.
Solomon may be a second telekinetic like wraith, but maybe it's foresight? His more strategy focused style contrasts with "good" guys who are more traditional monster hunters or powered individuals.
Violet summoning nightmare OC's is akin to Paige's bibliomancy
If she transforms into a monster from her poster, she's stepping on Silver's paws
If she's secretly a yokai, it's a doorman situation.
Being plain is less of a problem than having no niche
if a maybe is good enough for solomon, then maybe violet is a more dedicated controllable pet class kind of summoner instead of just having flavored aoe abilities like paige or more automatic summons like graves or mcginnis. maybe shes a trap character that has interactions with painting things onto surfaces. (mine you step on, sigil she can teleport to, or a turret that shoots from the wall? makes me think of herolabs calico turrets being placed on the walls and ceiling and shit) maybe shes got an invoker thing going on, combining multiple colors for many different abilities? would fit her 'creative' tag.
solomon is basically guaranteed to have some kind of area control mechanic where he places down chess pieces and each subsequent move in a given time frame moves them around. He's likely to be the most complex of the 6 characters.
Rat king is super simple, and having more simple kits new players can grasp is good for the continued longevity of the game.
I wouldn't be surprised if about half the new characters are on the simple side. Baba, nurse and violet I expect to be on the easier side, and solomon and danny I expect to be complex. Granted I'm just speculating.
