Adrienn- Fae-drienn. Some roots of the name Adrienn also liken it to mean 'eternal' matching their timestuckness.

Aya- See Cain's. Also in reference to c-Aya-nide.

the other meteor characters (taka/zel/solaris/sirius) were not part of the league and as such not actually made by me. i know offhand that taka means hawk in japanese, and apparently lumi is snow in like finnish or something?-- but I don't recall if there was any particular reason for the others. shrugsville.
