NAMES, and stuff

Okay so. Werewolves are a Thing this year, and I just realized something about my dysfunctional family of OCs-- but mostly stuff about Rin and Ea.

Ea's name is from the Irish/Gaelic 'Ea' meaning fire. Rin's name has a Japanese origin, coming from the kanji 凛, meaning cold, frigid. They're my staple Red Oni, Blue Oni, except reversed. My Blue oni is Ea, my Red is Rin. Rin is the more (stupid) outgoing of the two, and he tends to be more destructive. Ea is quiet and intelligent (when he needs to be) and likes to plan things out before doing anything. Rin is a sorcerer who favors fire magic and "Making things go BOOM!" while Ea is a huntsman, a rogue who shoots things with his bow.

The thing is, I only realize this waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay after (read: lately) I created them.

So what does this have to do with werewolves? NOT MUCH REALLY except their adoptive last name, Faolain, is a bastardization of the Celtic Faolan, which means little wolf. Faolain is pronounced fay-o-lin, which is the same (afaik) pronunciation as Faolan.

And now I am giggling about it. Because wolves.


Anyway, I need to get back to fixing my Morgiana costume akldsfjoiawjlksfdkjg
