We don't have to choose
there are choice levels.
We already chose them all, this is why we are here in first place.
But then we also can have our darlings <3

I don’t think I’d rank Kostornaya the highest in SS out of the Russian juniors. I certainly don’t think I’d score her and Sasha very differently either. I’m curious to see if she can show more dynamics in her style this year though. It would be nice to see a little more character and depth than she brought last season and I’d imagine it would translate into her SS too. I do think Alena is probably the one I’d bet on to survive the field the longest though...at least at this point which is almost meaningless

I don't have to pick just one between them.

All right, favorite "underrated" junior, everyone?
Mine is Tarusina, or Sinitsyna

about artistry
Study the Stanislavsky system. It was revealed by Shcherbakova in season 2017/18. To understand what I mean - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5xR2q0zkEc
During there careers, many outstanding skaters will not gain even one "revelation" when a set of simple movements(exercises) is transformed into a living tissue of life with growing wings.
Patrick has at least five.

Anna Shcherbakova. :think:
If she doesn't count it's a tougher one. Maybe Tarusina but...

Anna. She‘s the only Russian junior I really bothered to get to know who isn‘t Trusova, Kostornaya or Tarakanova. I don‘t know if Anna counts as underrated but she definitely hasn‘t performed to her ability yet due to her unfortunate injury.

Kostornaia for me! I'm just in love with her. I do not want to have a definite opinion on Anna yet cause she hasn't competed internationally yet but i really love how light she is on the ice. Her chopin program was fantastic. i'm waiting for the JPG performances before deciding

Of course, it all started with quads - her and Sasha's quads were first posted on youtube almost simultaneously last spring. You may be a genius of musicality and skating skills, but in sports people won't notice you until you start winning competitions or doing something extraordinary.
At some point she broke her leg and got to the hospital, while Sasha got 4 international competitions and eventually won the juniors' grand slam. But by that time people had already noticed Anya and remembered her as an artistically superior version of Sasha (some people argue that her artistry is matched only by of Zheleznyakov himself, which is quite plausible, except that Anya hasn't tried to be a brutal mercenary yet). You get attention by quads, but you gain true fans by your programs and your ability to express them on the ice. Now that she has it all, I hope she will be the second skater after Hanyu whose fan fest thread will be divided in order to avoid an integer overflow in the forum engine.
And if all this wasn't enough, she's the cutest creature in the roster, rivaled only by Masaru herself.

Well, the question was underrated junior skaters, otherwise I would definitely have picked Alena as well. She is my favourite of all junior skaters at the moment.
Anna is special, too, I believe. She looks almost tiny and incredibly fragile but her skating has this lightness you already mentioned. Her jumps are smallish, though, so I‘m a bit worried about that but she‘s been injured and as you said, not made her international debut yet. We‘ll see. But I‘m having my fingers crossed.

ha, i missed that! i thought we were talking about our favorite russian juniors overall.
in terms of underrated ones, i'd say Gubanova. I'm rooting for her
