 Well, change of coloring in this phase is not possible. I agree that this hero will be promotional or we will se him later :)

But can anyone please agree with me, that there is a snake thing on character sheet? :)

If that character sheet corresponds to one of the minis I've seen with a swirly thing surrounding it/her, then to me it looks like some kind of fireball swirling around her rather than a snake.

 That Mini is, as Beren Eoath suggested, our scout girl. That thing is not a fireball but some kind of cape made of leafs. It is our scout girl, which can be seen on terinoth event pages :)

Check out the picture of Widow Tarha's character card.  The "snake girl" card in the chinese version is Widow Tarha as has already been suggested.

I don't mean to step on anyone's toes, but there is no snake girl.  If you look at the leaked Chinese picture closely you will see that the player put his fate tokens over her face which makes you see a snake when there isn't one.  If you look off to the side of her head you can see clearly, if you have a large enough screen, the horn from Tarha's headdress.  Plus, as others have shown Terha's real card you can see they are the same person.  Why would the creators have two female characters wearing the same thing and be striking the same pose?  I am a huge supporter of the familiars, and I truly hope that they would add in a snake familiar someday.  Again, I am not trying to be mean.

 You cannot be mean, because you are right! That is Tarha with fatigue token on her face... *double self-facepalm* I double checked it. Stats on "snake girl" are same as on Tarhas hero sheet. Well, R.I.P. "Snake Girl "

I love the idea of snake familiar so much, that i see one despite the fact, that he do not exist. (actualy, i love familiars sooo much that i play as overlord. Yes, monsters counts as familiars)

So, most possible rooster is now:

 

Warriors: Dwarf / Elf Knight

Scouts: Oliver Twist (Halfling) / "Great Unknown" 

Helaers: Elf Druid / Billy the Mace

Mages: Leroic of The Book / Widow Tarha a.k.a Snake Girl ( )

 

Sorry guys for my posts about Snake Girl, my jugment was clouded :)

 It's not your judgement that was clouded, it was the picture they took.  The quality could have been a lot better, however it provides some additional details.  For instance, there are several cards with backings we haven't seen yet.   Can't wait for the next preview.

It truly is a terrible picture of the game.  I almost think they wanted it that way, so no one could get any real details.  I hope that their next preview will include the final hero along with going into more the characters special abilities/classes.  Like I said before I am also a huge lover of the familiars like you Jafix.  They are the one thing our OL player hates most about the game which in turn makes us try to get them even more to play.  Also, in the next preview I hope they show us at least one new familiar (that is if they are still in the game).

I was reading a thread on Boardgamegeek.com discussing the special abilities of our heroes.  The card we've seen most often is Leoric and he has 2 special abilities.  I was browsing and saw a a version of his card that only has 1 special ability with no second box.  The chinese photo we've seen shows several characters with small boxes belows their special ability but not a full box like we've seen with others.  The card we've seen from the conversion kit of Landrec the Wise has not secondary ability either.  Some have suggested that it might be a double sided character card.  One with a secondary ability and one without.  Thoughts?  Speculation?

 It would seem from the most recent preview (4/19/12) that the second (lower) box with the Feat is a once per game ability and the arrow to its left indicates to flip over the character sheet to indicate it has been used. So this would explain the back of the sheet looking the same but with missing text in the lower field.

 Next preview is out. "Great Unknown" have a name now :) She is an elf with bow! :D

W: Dwarf (Berserk)/ Elf Girl (Knight)

S: Oliver twist (Thief) / Jain Fairwood (Wildlander)

H: Billy the Mace (Cleric) / Elf girl with a staff (Druid)

W: Leroic of the book (Runemaster) / Widow Thara (Necromancer)

 

And Dark Young was right. Gratz on that guess :)

 They spelt "Jane" wrong, though.
