OKAY WOW. 1) Porrim is attractive. Really, really attractive. And I like the direction her character's going. And I like her quirk. And even that she got around because Maddona/whore dichotomy right there and it's great. 2) I am not sure how I feel about Kankri. This may just be because I love the Suff too much. Also because I was gunning so hard for Kulira as a name. 3) I still love Meenah. 4) ROSE. KANAYA. 5) Anyone have any ideas about the origins of these names? 'Damara' was mentioned in one of Porrim's hashtags, and since that's the name of a kind of sheep I'm assuming that's Megido's name. Porrima's used for a star in Virgo, a Roman goddess (who doesn't really seem relevant) and a genus of moths (HUSSIE). The others... No idea, really. Mituna appears to be the name of the female protagonist in a Thai film. Kankri is... in Nepal somewhere?

As Doris so kindly informed me, apparently ' Kankri' is the plural of ' kankro' which means 'freshwater crayfish.' So that one now makes way more sense! Though why the plural and not the singular... that remains a mystery. This is in a language that was created in 1907, and is kind of descended from Esperanto. It's called Ido.

As with all the game-style es, it certainly took me a frustrating amount of time to finish but certainly amazing chunk of stuff in here. Kankri's fantastic, certainly not what I would've expected him to be. Wasn't totally sold on the radical, tomboyish Latula at first, but after hearing info on her at the end (especially the fact of her being the first female Knight) makes me plenty excited in seeing what happens with her.
I also on framing the Schulz-style picture of Meenah and Aranea and hanging it somewhere in my house.

If Porrim, Kankri and Latula's designs are this cool I can't wait to see the rest of them. I'm actually looking forward to seeing them now. I really love Porrim's character. I may have already started looking for fabric to use for a cosplay.... >_>

All of the names we've seen for them so far were in fact suggestions made for the original trolls around the same time. So that's where Hussie got them. Where the original submitters got them is an interesting question too, though.

I figure Hussie wouldn't choose something baselessly, though. So I figure the submitted ones chosen must have had interesting meanings. And according to that thing Mataya posted, yes indeed.
I knew Meenah and Aranea were suggested, but I got bored of trawling the tread after the fifth page of Rocket Papaya.
(I am secretly a little mad that Latula wasn't called Rocket.)

Headcanon accents for the pre-scratch trolls incoming. Meenah: EssexAmpora: Glasgow ( more Glasgow) Makara: West Country (And here, have this as well. It's similar.) Zahhak: HighlandsAranea: Scouse or maybe GeordieLatula: MancunianPorrim: Donegal or maybe Welsh? I CAN'T DECIDE. Meulin: Home Counties or maybe Brighton?Kankri: Oxbridge (Fry, obviously.) Mituna: Brighton or Laurie from the above, or he could be Home Counties if Meu has a Brighton accent. Nitram: Edinburgh (And if you thing this goes against the trend of poshness you can fight me because I love Edinburgh accents with an unholy passion). Damara: ...Just guess.I am eagerly awaiting the introduction of the ones we haven't seen so I can see if these work or are at least unintentionally hilarious.
