Yes
When the player characters show up in marketing, as well as in anything that brings them up like Masters, their default looks are going to be their canon looks, not whatever you design them to look like, you can self insert, but that's not how they actually look in universe.
When most series make your character a formless blob where the design doesn't matter besides what you customize them to be, that normally pretty much guarantees they're not so much even going to be referenced in any sequels that are made, like they don't exist, since there's no way to account for what the player will make.
This series somewhat faces this problem already, since Red is the only set in stone protagonist, but the spinoff stuff ignores this anyway, and just go with what they feel like at any given time.
