Ronan means “little seal”, and in story it is a homage to his Gaelic heritage from his father’s side. Irl it comes from a book series I loved in hs called “ The Raven Cycle”, one of the characters is named Ronan and I’ve loved the name ever since. I didn’t consciously pull any more inspiration from him for my Ronan but there are little details (a cold outer shell that hides a deeply affectionate heart for his chose people for example) that I’m realizing now are defo influenced by him.

Mreen’s name has no meaning and I don’t think is an actual name? It’s a nonsense word I’ve used to verbally stim since elementary school when I first heard a star in our science class. I though it made a ringing “mreeeeeen” sound and the noise lodged itself in my little autistic brain and never left lol Story wise Mreen’s name is a name that means “wishing star” as it’s derived from the name for the North Star, referred to as the wishing star among their people.

Wulf’s name is the one with the least reasoning behind it. Full name Edwulf was taken from critical role just cause I liked the sound. And it means “wealthy/fortunate wolf”. I added an a to make Edawulf because I just think it looks and sounds nice that way. The characters themselves have nothing in common.
