Version 5.2 banners leaked

According to the leaks via Full Stop Chan and @hxg_diluc, here are all the expected character banners in version 5.2:

Phase I (November 20, 2024):

Chasca (5-star Anemo)
Lyney (5-star Pyro)

Phase II (December 10, 2024):

Neuvillette (5-star Hydro)
Zhongli (5-star Geo)

The first half will likely feature Chasca and Lyney's banners, making the latter's second rerun. Meanwhile, Travelers might see the return of Neuvillette and Zhongli in the second half. Assuming the leak is true, this will be the Hydro Sovereign's second rerun and Geo Archon's fifth. It is worth adding that Zhongli could become the first character to get five reruns in the game.

Unfortunately, there's not much information on Ororon's potential release date.
