Fair enough, but it's still something to not to immediately assume for the most part, since we still don't have clear images and whatnot.

There's also the initial leaks saying the show would start with 3 Riders, correctly named the first 3 and their forms and mentioned that one would be a woman. That being said I'll buy 20 Lightning Hornet Figuarts
So instead of chestplates, we're going on eye shapes now? Again, not entirely a solid enough argument for me to solidly assume that Valkyrie
is
a female Rider. And remember, everyone said that the pose that Zi-O had in the beginning looked feminine, so that's kinda not enough for me to assume, either.

They also don't have an upgrade form
yet
like Shining Hopper and Assault Wolf.
At the risk of sounding sexist. To me this fits perfectly with the idea of Valkyrie being a female rider because it seems like Toei is experimenting with her. They're willing to put a her in the spotlight, but not that willing to spend the budget on giving her more toys than necessary, and are now waiting to see how her first quarter sales fare before they give her more.

Most tertiary Riders don't really get upgrades all that often, so it's really not out of the ordinary that Valkyrie doesn't have many.
Again, I'm cool with the idea that Valkyrie is a female Rider because I'm always down for more of them, but I don't think it's a good idea to just assume that's the case when we really don't have a lot of clear pictures nor official information about it. So until the official conference for the reveal, I'm not gonna hold my breath and hope for them being a her.
