More info. Well I ran into a conundrum, what do I call my main character. Here are my thoughts on it. First Name: Kuraikikumi    位掬刃美      (Possible meaning of name: Beautiful, Drawing up of water with hands, rank, blade). Surename is tricky, so here are those thoughts Hisashiihaku       久伯兆沖         (Possible meaning of name: long time, chief, portent trillion, open sea). I have other inclinations on this subject, but I am caught in the middle as names are important and always hard for me to gather. Later revelations regarding names are: since in some way she is linked to royalty (father is 3rd son of cousin of the emperor and cousin is male), will shorten surename. Shorten her name or split her name and she uses another name to be referred to by other than her family or group (yeah I read a lot about Japanese culture, needed to). As those linked to emperor or have some slight chance of inheritting the rulership (if there is a crisis of no male heirs and they need to keep the line going) dont really have surenames like the rest of the people only known as emperor, empress, crown prince etc.. So to my conclusion of the names. To family she is known as: Nushihaku Karadami ( 伯 主.体 美, Meaning Masterchief Beautiful Body (sure it means something else as a name, but simpler)). For everyone else she would be known as Kiku (掬, Meaning to draw up water with one's hands). Anyone understanding the nature of the Japanese language and its culture would be a help.
