Aikatsu season 2 was more fairer than this. Everyone got that zodiac appeal, if I'm correct. 13 characters and 11 zodiac dresses, so nope, it wasn't that fair. But it's relatively farier because every main character could obtain premium dress in that series. While in this series, Koharu and Ako haven't obtained any premium coord in the story so far.

Well we've not known Aria's details, maybe she's also a very experienced girl so that Hime acknowledge her strength. In the view of story settings, it's not about new/old character, anyway.
