I don't think the female character is Trigger because AC7 was stated as "going back to the roots of Ace Combat" and one of the common themes of AC is the silent protagonist. I do agree with Cocoon though, we don't see this "Trigger" individual being called Trigger directly. This is still the case after watching the Jan 17 and E3 17 trailers, which leads me to think that Trigger is the name of the Squadron. If the VR Demo is anything to go by, then there is a pilot with the callsign Echo 2 as a playable character which could be who we play as. As for story, my guess we start off as an Erusea pilot and then defect to Osea or something like this. A friend of mine pointed out in one of the trailers that there was an undesignated aircraft so potentially the writer (same guy who had written AC5) has done a similar plot to AC5 and had a third-party start the war although I would think it is unlikely as AC 4,5 Zero and 6 have come up with different causes of war (military dictatorship, foreign conspiracy, expansionism,  economic crisis and political upheaval, etc).
