The elegant and powerful high priestess of Zym is a strange mixture of power and compassion. When she materialized in my mind, it was as an antithesis to my villain. However the more I got to know the more real she became to me. Like most mothers, while her love for her near and dear ones is a source of her strength, it also turns out to be her main weakness.
As a mother does her children, her powers are connected to the people on Zym, she cares for them, participating in their governance. It is in her that even the energy of the armies reside. But all the magic and power that she can summon crumbled when Sepiroth attacked her through her closest family. She starts losing her strength, her powers, her life and even her body. Thus begins slow decline of happiness for all people. Ebele starts fading into nothingness, and it will require help from the amnesia ridden Healer.
In Ebele resides the secret that will cleave Ariana’s courage. Even if Ariana regains her memory soon there may not much time remaining to save Ebele, whose life is unequivocally bound to Zym’s fate.

How very interesting to have a good character with a name that sounds like “evil”. This also caught my attention because I played a character with a similar name (Eeble) in an RPG.

I wonder – if someone listed a bunch of names from books and then someone else sorted them as to whether it was a good character of evil character (without having heard of them before, of course), if they could do it according to the name sounds. How do you come up with character names?

And how do you come up with a place name? Is there a process you go through?

Thank you, Mel! I am surprised at Ebele's manifestation too. I always thought that characters speaking to the writer is all b.s. until it happened to me! 🙂

Thank you Donna, for visiting!I dont know that there is a list somewhere, though it may be because I didn't look. I just knew what my character is, in a broad sense and looked at different names from different cultures. Ebele is African in origin and it means kindness. As for place names, its just from my muddled head. hehehe! On another note, I don't know anybody who has an 'evil' name, whether they are good or not! Sepiroth is a common enough name that sounds imposing (but that's not the name he is known by to the people of Zym. But…that's another post, another story! 🙂 )
