Thanks for the chapter!
Hmm, another person using the name for clout?
I'm betting on her needing the money because of tragic backstory bullshit.
Or it could be the old "using a man's name because works produced by women aren't valued properly" thing, just with identity theft instead of making up a new name (probably for efficiency's sake).

And she seems to be a genuinely decent artist too! Tougo described her forest storm as "powerful". Heck, I'm pretty sure she either is that Orin Halk person or has some personal connection to them (friend or family member, or maybe a mentor like Tougo had?).
I'm really hoping for a positive outcome. The track record in this manga is good, but that could just mean the creator feels like it's time for a twist to keep things less predictable (and it is the first time we're seeing another proper artist in this manga). I hope not though.

Tougo said she's around the same age... possible FL? Or maybe not. It's not really clear whether any kind of romance will ever feature in this manga.
Though I hope there's some at least. Artists drawing each other in environments that suit their respective natures would be delightfully romantic (ex. Tougo sitting on a stump in a shady forest clearing, evening light - plays into the forest spirit theme; that lady in the middle of the park, powerful wind billowing her hair and dress, early morning - plays into the 'city painter' aspect while also paying homage to the 'strength' that she seems to feature in the character of her art).

There's a whole lot of romantic potential in art. Historically it was kind of a thing, a male painter in the renaissance period painting a woman who enamoured and inspired him (ie. "the artist's muse" as they'd say). And there's reason that couldn't be mutual.

We’ve had two fakes for minor reasons, it’s time for a real challenger with actual art skills. I’m fine with her ending up an ally, it’s about time we add another skilled artist to the cast. Maybe she’ll even be able to learn his magic and so she can be apprenticed.

Or someone's using her work under their name. That's the noble's museum after all.

Even if she's forced to do that (if she's even forced to do that) that kind of attitude makes her a dick a penis even
