Misc (Name Meanings, Character Info, etc.)
Unloading stuff on Tear (and what pertains to her) for my own, and others if they want, reference here. Will add to as I go along.
Name
Tear Grants (Mystearica Aura Fende)
↳From a Spanish name, "Tea", a deviation of the name, "Dorotea", which means a gift from the god(or in Abyss' case, goddess)
↳Highly likely given her identity, and that Ispanian meanings in game have shown to be the same as Spanish ones. It also kind of goes along with Van's "The One who would seize Glory".
↳From a Greek name, "Tia", which means princess.
↳In a sense she is a princess because she and Van are the last of the Fende family, descendants of Yulia/ true rulers of Hod, blah blah.
↳Aura probably comes from the Latin name, "Ora", which means pray.
↳The entirety of her hymn is actually a prayer to Lorelei.
↳Mystearica is obviously a combination of Tear and Mysterious.
Titles
Mysterious Intruder
↳What truth lies behind those cold eyes? A mysterious intruder who appeared when a song was heard.
Van's Sister
↳What went on between these two? Van's own sister was the one who tried to take his life.
Strong of Heart
↳Will not cry or succumb, no matter what the body sustains. A woman who harbors the soul of a soldier.
Fonic Hymn Master

Singer of the Verse
↳A title given to one who can provide guidance with the slightest amount of fonic power.
Locrian Colonel
↳Hard times, sad times... and of course, happy times. Those memorable days will never fade away.
Easygoing Waitress
↳Is this what waitressing is? You and cute things... it must be fate.
Big Sister
↳Sometimes strict, sometimes gentle. Those big sisterly eyes watch over the immature very protectively.
Servant of Melodies
↳One who is drawn to beautiful melodies. She dreams of singing someday.
Cool Chick
↳There's just something about women in battle. She graces the battlefield with beauty and power.
Rental Beauty
↳She knows how to wear it, even if it's rented. All eyes are on this belle.
Flower of the Qliphoth
↳Purity of soul shines through in the Qliphoth. A bright blossom in the darkness. This title is offered to just such a flower.
Proud Maid
↳It's not as though you were asking to wear it... but it does make you a little happier.
Perfect Healer
↳Defeating the enemy alone is not the path to victory. This title is for one who embodies this balance.
Abyss Black
↳... I don't understand. What is it like to idolize heroes? This is... difficult.
Terms
The Grand Fonic Hymn
↳The song in which Yulia made a pact with Lorelei. Comprised of the 7 songs that Yulia composed, it will be completed when they are chanted one after another. This probably serves the function of unknown symbolism, since it is the evidence which Yulia used as the pact with Lorelei. It seems that Yulia used the Key of Lorelei and the Grand Hymn to summon Lorelei in the past.
↳Only those with Yulia's blood can use the Fonic Hymns in general. Anyone else, they're just songs. Tear can use it to awaken Lorelei.
Qliphoth
↳What used to be the crust of Auldrant. It is covered by a sky filled with miasma and the outer crust, and Yulia City is currently floating on the mantle which is a part of a liquified crust. No sunlight because the Outer Lands block the sky and impossible to go outside due to miasma and the sea of sludge. Commonly referred to as a world of death or the abyss.
↳Tear's (and Van's until he returned to the Outer Lands) home. They were taken in by the people of Yulia City after they fell into the Qliphoth during the collapse of Hod and the death of their mother after she gave birth to Tear.
Score
↳The Memories of the Planet. People's life [stories], the way in which the planet is heading towards is also chanted through the Scores. In order to chant this, one must have the ability to use the 7th Fonon. The Score that Yulia chanted around 2000 years ago became the Fonstones that are now floating in the sky. Those Fonstones were engraved with the way the planet is heading towards, and that is why it is also called the "Planet Score". There are two types of Scores, one of them being the ones that you read directly off the Fonstones, the other being the ones that you read anew by using the 7th Fonon.
↳Tear can read both Yulia's Score and Scores for individual people. Which is, essentially, reading their future.
Selenia Flower
↳A nocturnal flower. It is the only flower that is cultivatable in the Qliphoth. It is also abundant in the Tataroo Valley. Tear's favorite.
Yulia's Hymns
↳This means the 7 verses of Yulia's Grand Hymn. Usually, plain hymns alone cannot bring out Artes, but Yulia's songs are different and they hold the same power as Artes. Yet, it is impossible to have any reaction if one only knows the tune without knowing the true meaning (symbolism/metaphors/allusions) in the songs, as well as having Yulia's blood.
