Auer comes from an ancient Finnish word which could be translated as Sunny Mist. It has always had a special meaning for me and thus became my name.

Some words about the pronounciation here, if someone happened to be interested: 'Au' is pronounced like 'ow' in the word meow, 'e' like 'e' in pet, and r should be clearly heard in a way that English doesn't contain such, but you can imagine. And you are free to pronounce it as you wish, of course.

Originally, my name was Juno, but, apparently, that wasn't original enough, so, with a bit help, I devised the name Kiradawea from scratch. Now, I wanted a name that was powerful and soft at the same time. A name that started strong, and ended softly, to encompass her personality completely. Thus, each letter I picked meant something unique in her name. Kiradawea... Kiradawea is

Ehhh, I took a less creative approach. Just used some fantasy name generator site and made ten rolls and then picked on I liked the most.

Little did I know that enero in Spanish is January biggrin.gif Neither did I know there's an Achaean with same name... so, since I realized this after my 30 hours had passed I couldn't change it.

Anyway, I kind of like that Enero is born in Estar, which also is the first month of Lusternian year, which also wasn't planned and... other things that actually, while unintentionally makes Enero's character like January...

Character names just pop into my head. Random combinations of letters.
