The Adventures of Rin

What Rin thinks throughout the game, before, present and after the storyline. [Drabbles and oneshots] 'I cannot change my heritage, or my eyes.' The problems with being an Al Bhed salesman.

4. What's in a name?

Final Fantasy X-2 is canon, so my stories are non-canon, at least after FFX.

I've decided to write to themes, so… yeah.

15 minute writing theme:What's in a name?

-----

My name, if translated into Yevon's language, is "hur", which isn't a word at all.

Rikku's name is "huggo", which sounds like a horrible name for a male child.

Cid's name is "sut", which sounds a lot like soot.

An Al Bhed's name doesn't mean much to those of Yevon's language, but to us Al Bhed, a name is just like theirs. It holds a piece of us. It is our identification. It makes us, us.

However, they think that our names are odd, with their vowels in all the wrong places, just like our language, with the constants jumbled up in a garble of words only we understand.

If you asked me, "sely" doesn't sound like a word either, Maester Mica.
