CHARACTER NAME ORIGINS: • Alice Liddell This name came from the name of the girl Alice in Wonderland was based off of. Sadly, Lewis Carol was actually a pedophile and often hung around young girls. Doesn't mean I still can't appreciate his content! There were a lot of pedophiles in the past... Love the sin, hate the sinner! • Lorina Liddell Lorina Liddell is the name of Alice's sister. Or at least, her real one. This older sister figure has been given many other names. • Valentina Hart Valentina's name is based around the fact that she is the Princess of Hearts and also her status as a Heart; often associated with love and romance. • Mali Milliner Mali's name is a traditional Thai name that starts with an M, to go with Mad. Milliner is the name of a Hatmaker. You guessed it: Mali's based on the Mad Hatter! • Anahita Safid Anahita is one of my favorite Iranian names. Safid is actually Farsi for white! Anahita is meant to represent the White Rabbit, with her bunny ears and all. • Absolema Amhihan Absolem is the name of the caterpillar in the original, I simply added an A. Amihan is a figure from Tagalog mythology who is associated with the sky. • Luciel Sesi Luciel is derived from Lucifer, or the name of the devil. This represents their status as an antagonist. Sesi means snow, which is meant to represent Lorina. • Julius Sanchez Julius' last name is just a basic Chilean name. His first name is a joke because of Julius Caesar.
