Some headcanon Nyotalia names I'd like to share plus some of my reasoning behind them, because why not?

America: Eleanor Louisa Adams; it's primarily a reference to Eleanor Roosevelt (but also Ellie makes a cute nickname for her)-- there's some debate over whether it's another form of Helen or not, but if it is I think the 'bright, shining' meaning would suit her a'la 'shining city upon a hill' vibes! Her middle name Louisa is a reference to Louisa May Alcott, the author of Little Women, and I don't think I need to explain the Abigail Adams reference with her surname.

England: Emma Guinevere Hargrave; I wanted to give her a name in reference to literature, so why not draw inspiration from Jane Austen's Emma herself? The Guinevere is in contrast to 'Arthur', and basically a name drawn from Arthurian legends because yes; Hargrave means 'grey thicket/grove', and it brings to mind the idea of gray skies over London.

Canada: Sarah Maud Cartier; Sarah is biblical like 'Matthew' is, and I mostly chose it because it sounds homey and I like to think she has a more homey personality compared to Matthew's weirder vibes, but also it's a reference to the poet Sarah Anne Curzon; Maud meanwhile is from from Lucy Maud Montgomery, the author of Anne of Green Gables. Evidently, I like my literature names.

Russia: Svetlana Rurikovna Akhmatova; Svetlana's an Orthodox Slavic name, but also a reference to Vasily Zhukovsky's ballad 'Svetlana'; Rurikovna is a patronymic that pays homage to Rurik, the founder of Novgorod and whom Russian history likes to trace far back when it comes to the founding of the nation (though there's a lot of contentious debate on that which I won't get into, so feel free to substitute with your own patronymic headcanons); Akhmatova is a reference to 20th century poet Anna Akhmatova.

Germany: Ava Schelling; Ava sounds simple and practical, which is something I think that suits her, but also a reference to Ava of Melk.

Prussia: Dorothea Ritter; Dorothea means 'God's gift' which I feel tells a lot about her already, but it's also a reference to the princess Luise Dorothea of Prussia; Ritter means 'rider/knight' and both give names of power, and overall together they make a very powerful name that suits her somehow I mean--

North Italy: Sofia Bandettini; Sofia means 'wisdom' which is a reference to how a lot of cities during the Renaissance were in the north (and specifically I'm thinking of Florence, because while I like to think Veneto is Feliciano's heart, in Nyotalia North Italy's heart is Tuscany); Bandettini comes from Teresa Bandettini, who was a famous performer during her time.

South Italy: Fiammetta Bandettini; Fiammetta is the nickname of Maria d'Aquino, a Neapolitan noblewoman, but the name also means 'little flame' which is also a reference to the south's prevalence of volcanoes in the south like Mount Etna; Bandettini is from her sister ofc, which I think she was forced to change her surname to during Risorgimento, but prior to that it was Sciara, which is a Sicilian surname.

👀➡ to give a longing glance from across a crowded room ~❤️

send in one of the following emojis and my muse will react . accepting

Walking around the Wall Market without an escort or able-bodied security would be nothing short of suicide for Melissa - Corneo's lackeys were everywhere and the tactical disadvantage was hers. Outside of the fortress she had converted the Honey Bee Inn into, the madame was vulnerable - not a powerful queen, but a fugitive of the other oppressive power of the district.

But still, remaining indoors at all times was nothing short of committing herself to a life-long prison sentence. That was why Melissa hired security, ensured the continued patronage of the Turks and took other measures to guarantee her physical well-being whenever going out. On that particular afternoon, the woman had been picking up some orders from her favorite tailor, expanding the ever-growing collection of cocktail dresses and ballroom gowns.

Melissa had just finished trying on a new model - a bright, electric blue type with an obscene neckline and creative cuts of fabric that did an immense effort to conceal what was required to be hidden from the public view. The brunette stepped outside the fitting room to request a few adjustments to the hem of the skirt when she paused, eyes settling on a very familiar figure just across the room.

There he was - Rolfo Sciara.

Going by his own look at her, it was an entirely accidental encounter - after all, even the subordinates of the other Wall Market ruler had a dress code of sorts (even if the gunslinger was better than most - none of the tacky ensembles some of the hoodlums chose to parade themselves in, but well-cut suits that accentuated his ever-present charm; Melissa wished it was easier to move her glance elsewhere than his figure, particularly with other customers roaming the shop).

But they didn't - neither of them moved to break the silent contact, and the mafioso's expression turned soft at her; there was no danger in his gaze, no promise of retribution as it used to be in the past - just a very genuine longing, as if he had been hypnotized by the brunette in a rather revealing attire opposite him. His colleagues did not seem to notice Melissa was there - and neither did her head of security of the inn; for a long moment, they were seemingly alone.

And something deep down in her heart wished to move across the store and kiss him - long, hard, until they were both breathless.

"Ma'am? Is everything fine with your order or do you require assistance?"

And just like that, the spell was broken; Melissa blinked, focusing on the helpful assistant who approached with a professional smile and a gesture towards the dress on her body, making the inn proprietress immediately reverse her attention from Rolfo (the biggest, most dangerous mistake she had ever committed) to the employee. Perhaps that had been for the better - steered towards the fitting room again, the curtains were pulled and the girl started working on the adjustments that Melissa asked for, covering the brunette from the view of her rivals and averting potential conflict...

...And also hiding the one that her heart, despite everything and against all logic, yearned for.
