X I E R R A⠀is derived from the English word "sierra," meaning a range of mountains, especially with a serrated or irregular outline. It also comes from the Latin word "Serra," meaning "saw" or "jagged."⠀E O U S⠀comes from the Latin suffix "-eous," meaning "like," "resembling," or "the nature of." In Greek, "eous" also means "dawn." Both names portray Xierra as a character who loves to explore nature and is a morning person.
L I L Y A N T H O N E⠀comes from "lily," a flower that holds many meanings, most commonly purity, innocence, and fertility. The sweet and innocent beauty of the lily flower associates it with fresh life and rebirth. Different colors of lilies have different meanings. For example, white lilies represent purity, orange lilies signify revenge or hatred, and red spider lilies (manjushage) symbolize a final goodbye. White lilies represent Xierra as the person she is now, while orange lilies and red spider lilies represent her past self.

Y U N O⠀allegedly means "life-giving" and "fortunate," though the name has little historical origin. It can also come from the Japanese word "Yuno," which has various meanings depending on the kanji used. One word means "to protect the people," "to be blessed with good fortune," "to receive help from a divine source," and "to make progress or move forward." Another refers to something that serves as a foundation or something achieved after a long time. Certain kanji can mean "bravery," "courage," "strength," and "resolution." Another combination means "forgiveness," "a rural area," and "humility." There are many more meanings behind the name, and the author is uncertain which one to choose.
Further information will be added in the future.

R H E I N⠀is believed to derive from the Greek word "rhein," meaning "to flow" or "to stream." It also refers to a large natural stream of water (larger than a creek).

The name "Rhein" is also inspired by the word "rhinestones," reflecting his love for gems and minerals, whether genuine or imitation.

His title, "Hogo-sha," comes from a Japanese word that directly translates to "protector" or "guardian."

As an advocate, he has sworn to protect—a vow he has made in the past.
