I thought the primary, secondary, tertiary Riders, etc. are determined by the order of the characters introduced in press conferences. But other than that, the lead heroine is also usually the 3rd introduced after the primary/secondary Riders before the tertiary (e.g. Zero-One had Izu introduced first before Yua, as well as Saber with Mei after Touma and Rintaro). By this I thought Neon is the female lead (doubles as teritary as she's a Rider) as she's introduced the 3rd after Ace and Keiwa, while Tsumuri's introduced after all the main Riders, like Sophia in Saber. Neon also indeed seems to receive more focus than Tsumuri, at least so far.

But there are those who'd view Tsumuri as lead, probably because she gave similar vibes to Poppy or Izu of being inhuman mysterious supporting female, including how there are artworks depicting those 3 together, and that Rider series oftentimes did have the supporting females being made as the lead, above the major female Riders (e.g. Yoko to Mai, Yua to Izu) - so does Geats 'break' the formula again here or I got it wrong?

And previously, despite being well-received, Misora is one of the least physically active female leads despite being portrayed by the athletic Kaho Takada. Dunno about Ayaka (Imoto), but also ironic that the actress that had karate background in Revice was the one portrayed Sakura's friend named... Ayaka (Oketani) instead.
