For example the second kanji 嫣 in the name of Shizuru's GEM, has an interesting meaning according to the Unihan database: http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUn...codepoint=5ae3 |

About Mai's GEM
Tokiha Mai 炎殊の紅玉(?) Enju no Kougyoku
The first kanji 炎 (en) is the flame. It's almost 100% correct. I'm used for the second kanji what most of the japanese bloggers used. 殊 - exceptionally but the a ju/shu part could be written with dozens of other kanji possible other versions: 嬬 - mistress 朱 - scarlet/red 呪 - spell/curse/charm |

It's simply astrological stones : http://www.webindia123.com/astrology/gems.htm
They use earth months while they are not on earth. Why not using astrological stones from earth ? And me too, intelligence doesn't come first into my mind when thinking of Arika... And about other Otomes and characters ? We can suppose that like Mashiro, some may have their date of birth changed. HiME-Shizuru was born on december, but Otome-Shizuru may be february. As for Mai, HiME-Mai was born on July. And what do you think about peridot, quite conflictual for an Otome ? On a side note, HiME-Akane was born on September 7th. |

She might rob people, and use sexuality as bait, but the real MH Nao is someone who truly detests men, and certainly won't have sex with random people willingly. Is MH Nao a virgin? Who knows, it depends on what she was like before her mother got sick. The Nao as we know it in MH, after she starts 'earning' money for her mother's illness, was only interested in robbing people. I certainly don't think Nao had sex for some time in MH, if at all...
