The twin-tailed girl from early art of Latios & Latios (and the Latias/Blaziken hybrid) is a prototype Zinnia, who was originally going to figure into Gen III's story before being scrapped and later revived for ORAS. The character's riding of Latios/Latias was the inspiration for the Soaring mechanic, and at an early stage of ORAS's development it would've been Zinnia that introduced the mechanic, Latios/Latias and gave the player the Eon Flute instead of Steven.
