Riot Games has teased a new Valorant agent with white hair and purple eyes, and reports point to a reveal during VALORANT Champions Shanghai finals weekend. The leak trail also says the new Valorant agent may be a Duelist, but Riot has not said whether that role, name or kit is final.
Benkai, the former Paper Rex player, said the agent is Cantonese. That detail points toward Hong Kong, Macau or southern China, and it would make her the third Chinese agent after Iso and Sage if the rumor holds.

Voice lines heard at a Shanghai pop-up cafe themed around the agent add another piece to the picture. Those lines reportedly suggest a mainland Cantonese dialect, which narrows the likely origin to Guangdong province.
Marpkat also leaked details of the agent’s kit. The report says she has a passive called Double Life, with one version for each Earth and a different ability depending on whether she is attacking or defending.

The teased art shows long white hair, glowing purple eyes and a purple and pink color palette, along with a ghost-like motif. Ability icons spotted at Riot’s Shanghai pop-up cafe reportedly include a grenade-like item, an eight-sided die and two ghosts.
Those details still stop short of an official reveal. The leaks describe an unusual Duelist if they are accurate, but the only confirmed next step is that Riot is expected to unveil her during the recently announced showmatch at VALORANT Champions Shanghai.
For players watching the event, the practical takeaway is simple: the appearance, dialect clues and kit leaks are all separate pieces of the same rumor, and none of them settle the agent’s official name or full role until Riot shows it on stage.
