I just had a strange idea–Zinnia’s name, with its first letter Z, is probably meant to evoke Zygarde and complete the XY of the original games. At the same time, we have AZ, whose name symbolizes the beginning and the end. Z(innia) only represents the end. So, what if Aster is the A in AZ’s name? Zinnia and AZ have similarities, like how AZ is immortal in spite of himself and Zinnia has a death wish she couldn’t act on. So if an “A” character is introduced, I wonder how they’d fit.

*shrug* Dunno.  It seems like the kind of vague symbolic nonsense that they like to do, but I’m not sure what we can do with it.  That’s an interesting point about the similarity between AZ and Zinnia, though; they’re both people who have reason not to fear death, even to welcome it, which is kind of neat considering the life/death and change/stasis themes of X and Y.
