I wanted Wilhelmine, but that name was taken (by me). Wilhelmina was also taken (again, by me). I could have went with Wyllhelm, but some numskull had that one taken too (also me…but this one I stole when they first released old names from a friend who used to play in Vanilla—>Wrath :smiling_imp: :dracthyr_hehe_animated: :neutral_face: :frowning_face: :cry: :sob: :dracthyr_cry_animated:).

So, I used to refer to a friend’s character as Billhat, and I went with that. :clown_face:

I’ve always liked the names “Nero” and “Natalya” (just a no-nonsense kind of person name), so I just put them together.

My brother’s name is Sonny, and he has dark hair and brown eyes, so he always called me cloudy, because blonde hair and blue eyes. And it was the 90s, so Klowdy it was.

I figured a rogue would be into anarchy.

She is one of only two characters I have who were not named for their coloring but were instead inspired by their class.

And here is the other:

Belladoria=loves war
Bellum (latin): war (as seen in Bellona, Goddess of War) plus Adore (english): to regard with the utmost esteem, love, and respec
