There's something funny that I dont see a lot of people realize.
Internally, characters seem to be done or very close to done long before they come out.
We know that Banjos gameplay was "only a few days" after the Hero one, and that Byleths was in November.
Just because a character doesn't come out for awhile doesn't mean they're still being worked on down to the wire, a lot of times it seems like the final days of dev time are just polishing and small tweaks.
