    Apathy and Ignorance

    ｡･ﾟﾟ･ Secunda was acutely aware of how stupid her name was. Well, maybe it was just her who thought that. (I certainly don't!) She was so aware, she was currently perched in a nest of snow on her roof thinking about that specifically in great detail. She buried her nose in the cold snow thoughtfully, cherishing the crispness that reminded her she was alive and awake. And deeply melancholy. Well, before it got too cold. Then she pulled out quickly. Honestly, with her thing about snow, it was a miracle she didn't have frostbite in every appendage. But anyway, back to her name.


    Secunda. Second best. Secondborn. The sequel. The sequel is never as good as the original. Agrelos culture put a lot of emphasis in names; almost as much as Romans. Of course, no one in the Brigade right now knew or cared about her mother or brother, her twin. What kinda dope names their twins Primus and Secunda? Her brother was more adventurous, a lot less easily intimidated, and even paid attention when Clover spoke to them in English. She was the quiet, younger, female twin who was easily intimidated and couldn't even speak properly. In English, anyway. Second best. Second place. Always. Good thing no one here knew her family. She'd be a mere shadow in the presence of her perfect twin.


    Her mother too, what was she, the sequel? Just because they look alike? Her mother wanted so badly for her to join the stupid Painted Brigade and be just like her. Se liked it here, but still, she wasn't gonna be a ditsy goody-two-shoes leader girl with a stupid shield who no one remembers because she was boring. Hah! Yeah, she said... thought it, mom. And yes, the helmet stays. But only because it's the single coolest thing. But Secunda was no sequel. Not little Clover Jr. She was unique! She was a medic now! And she would not participate more than she had to! In fact, why even have a Roman name? Why not be... rebellious?


    Of course, Roman names were pretty. So keeping that would be nice. Plus with Latin being her first language it would be silly to try to hide her roots. But individuality! Ooh, she had it. A Greek name. Those were so cute. Especially mythology names, and it wouldn't be the first time Romans directly ripped off the Greeks. And... Cassiopeia was such a pretty name. Maybe it wasn't the best suited to her personality, it sounded dainty, but honestly. All Greek names sounded dainty. The wimps. The child lept off her roof excitedly, landing perfectly on her four paws like the feline she was and declared loudly "I am Cassiopeia now! Don't call me Secunda! (Se is fine still)" she kinda muttered the last part; only she ever called herself Se. But still, Cassiopeia found it worth saying.

    while there was certainly a lot in a name , sym didn't think much of their own . they carried their multitude of surnames with pride and never put much time into analyzing their own title . perhaps it was because all of their siblings ( littermates and half - relations alike ) all had such differing and odd names , so they never thought too hard about how their name made them look and feel .


    but , their feelings aside , it was clear that names held a lot of importance to se . they listened with only a scrap of curiosity as her new name was announced . if they'd returned to this new world any earlier , they might've commented on the familiarity of the name , but they hadn't been around for cassiopiea's reign , and therefore said nothing . " cassiopeia , " they started , testing the name on their tongue . it certainly wasn't a ' normal ' name , but who were they to judge ? their name was symphonic warfare , and that should be odd enough to some . " sounds fine . "


    YOUR VOICE IS BREAKING / BUT IT IS HOLY

    you call it crime we call it smart family business !

    ❝ loki took great pride in his name. it felt as though it fit perfectly. he hadn't yet thought about why anyone would want to change their own name. "cassioppeia, huh? that's pretty." was all he could add. he was being honest at least, it sounded fancy to him. ❞

    Amelia never thought of changing her own name. It was simple and it was her's, and truthfully that was all she needed. She met another Amelia once, briefly when the girl joined, but that never deterred her from her own name. However she knew that she wasn't everyone, and no one was her - and some people were unhappy with the names they were given. Amy didn't want to judge in any case.


    "Cassiopeia," she repeated the name, dipping her head to the girl, "It's a beautiful name, Se. Did you read it from somewhere?" she hummed to the younger girl.

    ｡･ﾟﾟ･ Cassiopeia was pleased with the response, mostly. Cassiopeia was so happy, Cassiopeia will only think in third person for the rest of the day. Except it was a kinda long mane, so never mind. She turned to Amelia, who had asked her a question, as you know because you can read and scroll. "Yes, actually! I... read a boring... history book, you guys spell things strange, and it named the leader of some clan. I liked the name." Despite being Greek! (Actually she didn't care that much)
