I like her a lot, can't wait to see the card.

Yes, this is confirmed in her Profile.

I cant way to see the card to affirm the actions she does.

She sound WB. My friend will be happy too, she is black and will be happy to see a new darker skinned planeswalker character.

Any ideas what colour she'll be?

She is black.

Does she operate out of an old Fire Hall in Manhattan?

Another Fiora PW with glowy arm/hand.

I do hope she is just going to be mono black, only to give a bit more diversity to it.

aya has the ability to become partially incorporeal—allowing her to slip through solid items and physically interact with ghosts and the spirit world.

This sounds blue. Slip through Space. This is not something we typically see in Black. Assassination type stuff is too evil to be white unless she's Orzhov. I suspect she's Dimir.

EDIT: I stopped reading before the 'interact with ghosts and the spirit world' - she's probably Orzhov (WB)
EDIT2: After reading the story - definitely WB. She's too principled to be totally B and she doesn't assassinate people, just ghosts - a very white trait.

Hopefully U/B. What Kaya did was seen as blasphemous by some, a disruption of the natural order of life beyond death.. U/B is the enemy of green for this reason.

In the same story it also says that she's seen as doing noble work by others.

This seems like a fairly obvious grab at a new demographic,
but if it brings more diversity to MtG, I'm all for it!

Also, I'm guessing WB, possibly Esper.

I would guess U/B.

If so, I will bet money one of her abilities will involve the new keyword 'Skulk'.

They just can't help themselves.

Skulk isn't evergreen -- I'd be surprised if they include it in Conspiracy 2.

This is so Nightmare on Elm Street 3 Dream Warrior.

Kaya is wearing very "Earth in 2016" clothes for someone living in Fiora. It'd be cool if it turned out she actually was from Earth, but that will never happen.

That's what I'm saying-
she looks *exactly* like someone you'd see playing Magic
(well, maybe a bit hotter, but that's normal).

Her design is a bit on-the-nose for my tastes,
but I do like her character.
She has an interesting background.

I think Jiv is right with UB. Though I wouldn't be to surprised is she was Just Black.

I hope she isn't from Fiora.
"Native planeswalkers" paradigm sucks.

It literally calls her in the story a rogue... thats usually blue/black like notion thief

Her fellow rogues came and went to the strains of an inexpertly played mandolin, and nobody let their eyes linger too long on anybody else's business. Tavern, saloon, watering hole, great hall—on a dozen worlds, these places were all the same.

Who you gonna call?

Wow, now she looks frickin' cool. That purple glowing forearm/dagger would look really cool in foil.

Also, if she is WB, it's nice to see someone bring in a completely different feel in those colors than Sorin, who unofficially seemed be have the monopoly over those colors in past years.
