Chuchu's gonna find out as many PC Names as possible bc that way she can heal/purify your character as needed, so having one prepped ahead of time will be helpful. ^^

Looking for help since I'm bad with Rat-Rat names. :D

Satsuki's name is written 咲月, which translates to something like "gossamer + moon". She is strongly linked to moon spiritually as well as the Heavens. And of course fire. Lots of fire.

So something like Burning Bright, or some such maybe? Again I'm bad at Ratling names. ^^;

I think I would be more interesting in what other people thought Yukara should be, rather than just declaring one outright. Folks could PM if they had any ideas.

Mine are all too colored by her D4, so I'd have to think about it more.

Lonely Wing.

Too soon?

Jokes aside, I think it kindda fits, based on her chat with Sora by the river, and there's always the fact that Names can change.
