i thought the earring that Nami has was a gift from a woman who saw her crying and by herself when she was several years younger than currently - the implication being that Summer & MC bailed on her at a public place.
and as it was Sasha, who was also only wearing one earring, asking the question, it's her mom, Mrs. [name unknown] Petrova, or someone else as yet unmentioned...
because Ninja-Ayua interrupted the conversation right at that time.

The question should rather be: Where and when will we find out; here in SG or already in WiaB? The only person who knows won't tell us!
Sasha's moms name is Elena Petrova and thats unlikely because Leia Zane owns these earrings in Wiab.

that doesn't mean they are the only pair like that in existence.
so Elena is Sasha's mum, what was the name of her Aunt?
These earrings are very specific and pointed out again and again, these were 100% Leia's earrings and are the same. Thats what we know, we dont know if it was Leia herself who gave Nami the earrings tho.
Dunno dont remember her aunts name.

what do you mean pointed out again and again? Sasha is the one who draws attention to it actively.
Yes Leia wears them in WiaB; which is 19 years in the past at a minimum, so they if they ARE the original ones, and not similar or copies, would be an heirloom, regardless of actual monetary value. assuming they are actually silver or platinum and not steel... that would be quite the gift to an unknown little girl who is crying.
now explain why the ice queen would've given one of them to a crying redhead...
the current Leia would NEVER do that...
looking forward to her character evolving, among other things involving Leia
Bro the explanation is obviously that Nami is not a unknown girl to Leia, which isnt really a secret considering Katie Zane visited the book club because she was aware of Nami attending.
There are OBVIOUS connections between Nika, Nami and the Zane's, maybe they are related, maybe not but there are connections as the bookclub proved but even before that it was already known that Nojiko worked for Scarlett Zane and so on.
There is a reason why Leia gave Sasha and Nami an earring each (or made someone else gave the earrings to them) we just dont know what it is. It could be that they are both daughters of William and the earrings are a sign of Zane protection as they dont wear the Surname, or its something else but there will be a reason. And the reason obviously wont be related to the monetary worth of the earrings.
The current Leia hasnt reconciled with willy yet and doesnt have a Legacy yet, shes bound to change and i at least can imagine her as a "godmother" of the Zane "clan" who takes care in some distant ways for the offspring of her family but we will see.
But ocean doesnt keep pointing out the earrings multiple times in sg and wiab just to reveal at some point: yo btw these are cheap copies from china, no meaning whatsoever

Well, Ocean will tell us by the end of the games, I'm sure. Defeats the purpose of making renders if he gives the script away without them
You're implied idea is the right one, we're meant to wonder, it's the mystery that Ocean uses to keep us interested.Inessa - it's mentioned in the bookclub scene. The only time Elena is mentioned by first name is when Nick tells Mila he can talk to Elena so Mila can play golf. Otherwise, she's Sasha's mom, or just the unnamed person who owns the country club (tennis and golf etc. I assume that's the location where we see the preview renders of Zara, Nika and Nadja).
'Current' Leia (in WiaB) is prior to all the traumas that will unfold in WiaB. There will be some thawing out of her attitude with much drama involved. We don't know how the story will change her. We also don't know what the symbolism of those earrings was, or the circumstances. Giving them to an unknown? They don't have to be related to be known: it's plausible that Nami's parents were killed in a situation that Leia feels personally guilty for.
The earring can be Leia planting a flag, as though Nami is her property, without it needing to be that Nami is a blood relative.
Further, Leia might end up with bad memories of the earrings. She might renounce the earrings as part of her life that is over.
Lastly, original Wiab had two characters wearing them. Leia, who started off with three types of earrings through the game, and Sedilia (spelling? can't be bothered checking it out right now) who was the redhead working at the clothing shop, who went to school with the Zanes. Sedilia could easily be Nami's mother, we simply don't know if she's even a character in the rebooted WiaB.
Scarlet is not a Zane. Zane is Dylan's surname, Helen is Zane by marriage, Scarlet is Joe's wife, so Lucas and Katarina have that surname, I don't think it's ever been mentioned. It's be a really rare circumstance where Helen and Scarlet both kept their surnames. The Zanes are all related to Dylan (at least by name, on paper). So further Zanes would be from Dylan's side of the family, any brother's or sisters of his.
The earring thing I think you've hit spot on - it's a sign of Zane favour or protection. Keeping in mine that it seems (even if not directly stated) Nika and Nami both were given some sort of condition that forced them to accept a place at ZPR, Coach Hill knows about Nika from before, KAtie keeps her eye on her start basketball player in her gambit (Nika would have been captain in his old team) there's so many different plausible connections for Katie to be interested in the two of them. We simply don't know ...where that interest began (sorry not sorry). As you point out, Sasha having an earring, and Nami having an earring doesn't automatically make them sisters. It's simply a sign of favout. The sign might also be given for different reasons. Petrova as a lawyer (if that's still true) might have needed some kind of significant sign of trust from Leia.
Leia would need heaps of those earrings to give to all Willi's sproglings, so I think it's more nuanced than that. It's probably more a godmother/protection/favour/obligation symbol.

"... it's plausible that Nami's parents were killed in a situation that Leia feels personally guilty for. "
that comment i can get behind, because it leaves A LOT of openings as to why. she could have gotten them killed via car accident, or arguing with emile or w/e his name is and he accidently killed them via car accident, etc.
i totally forgot about the red head in WiaB...
imma have to do a run-thru again i think.
i just figured Occam's razor, it was random act of kindness from X.
It MAY have started a chain reaction after the fact; like Noji recognized them and made some calls... [good or bad]
IF Noji is related to Miru that would add further credence to those who believe it's a symbol of Zane protection, as Noji may have taken them in to snub the Zanes, or... maybe she really was the best friend of [MC or Nami's] Mom.
Daphne could be mommy for 1 or both of them...
Noji would then not be related to Miru, unless it shows Miru's family meeting her in later episodes of WiaB...
regardless we need more Daphne. and Nami, and Nia, and Vic, ok i'll stop now.

Maybe not, Sedila had the same earrings in old WIAB.

We've also got to remember, Nami at 8 years old getting an earring is maybe 10 years after the events of WiaB. So the idea that there's a direct connection to events in WiaB isn't inherently true: by doing things this way, Ocean avoids there being a canon way to play WiaB to force the conditions for Nika and Nami. In this way, I am suspicious of Willi being Nika's dad as it forces a canon relationship on Willi a year after WiaB starts (WiaB +~1 year, +9 months pregnancy, +18 years to college and legal lewd acts). Nami on the otherhand IS a pregnancy that would happen at the end of WiaB as she's a year older. If the year's intake is all the same age, Bella, Sasha, Ayua, Vic are all conceived roughly a year after WiaB, Maja was already alive. Vanessa is older than Zara, maybe she was conceived during WiaB?
This is of course assuming Ocean's planned the timelines correctly, he can always say SG starts 19 years after WiaB or whatever, it's never stated in SG, because it's an external game fact.
If Noji is related to Miru, it would be interesting to see Ayua's reactions to her when she was drawing Nami. Regardless of Noji's relation to the Zane's we know Noji is friends or is known by many of the main characters via the bookclub, and her relationship with Scarlet at the hospital, being in emergency and potentially being the person dealing with the Frohn car accident and the Cyrus car accident is a thing. Remember that Nika and Nami were 3 and 4 respectively when they lost their parents, it wasn't Noji snatching them from the maternity ward.

and that they were told they are brother and sister [in canon] BUT that doesn't mean they are biologically related.
doesn't matter in the end as they have grown up as siblings.
i do look forward to the story being told.

Regarding who might be related to the Zanes.
Vanessa, Zara, Nami and Sasha are the main candidates. For all we know, they're the least compatible with the other girls and aren't compatible with each other.
But I'm surprised that I've never seen anyone have a suspicion about Mila. She isn't compatible with the three of them. Zara and Sasha don't have possible throuples. Meanwhile, Bella/Nami is possible (Bella's clearly not Zane), but for some reason Mila/Nami is not.
The last one may mean nothing, but if it turns out that Vanessa/Mila is not possible either, I think it's very likely that all five of them are related to the Zanes.

I think if I remember rightly, that's because Mila isn't into sharing, she's more traditional in her passions. It's got nothing to do with anything other than she's not into polygamy. We've already seen that she was uncomfortable with what happened with the 4 way kiss, so it's likely she'll have her guard up to avoid similar things in the future.
Something I'm interested in is that only Nami and Vanessa and the guys on the first team (and Adrianna) have the chance to be caused by a creampie in WiaB. The others in SG are too young, so that are after the canon of the story, they're from events that happen in between, unless they all took gap years. And there's likely to be at least 10 months if not more between children of the same mother.

Let's see how things turn out when you mess around with Bella AND Mila.

For me, the 4 way kiss and the thing with Bella say the opposite.
As you said when we were doing the alignment chart, Mila is the paladin walking on thin ice.
Yes, I thought about that too. Then I suspect the family connection between the characters will be revealed in the vaguest possible way. (and our discussions here are essentially irrelevant
)The more I think about throuples the more I want Vanessa/Bella.
Or, if Melanie Сeril turns out to be the LI, Melanie/Bella.
That would be insane.
