What is the story behind your character's name?

[Blueyes]

There is some history behind my character name. When I began playing FFXI I originally tried to make a character simply named Blue. Unsurprisingly, that name was unavailable. There is a specific reason why I wanted to be named Blue, but I will get to that later. I came up with an alternative that I liked which was Blueyes (pronounced blue-eyes). The single 'e' was intentional and it's a minor pet peeve of mine to ever get called Blueeyes.

FFXIV came around which introduced last names for our character. I realized that Blueyes didn't work all that well as a first name (and using the name Blue Eyes wasn't something I considered for reasons related to what was stated above) so I went with the shorthand version of my FFXI name, the name I intended to use in the first place, which was Blue. However, now I needed to find inspiration for a last name. My all time favorite spell in FFXI was Plenilune Embrace, a healing spell drawing power from the moon, and was a spell used by Blue Mage, coincidentally. It was in that moment when the name Blue Plenilune clicked.

There is a big reason why the moon is significant to my name and this goes back to my reason for wanting my FFXI character to be named Blue. It is based on a character of an anime with the same name who has a relation to wolves. Props to you if you know what I'm talking about. I began my adventure as a Miqo'te Keeper of the Moon and you can believe me when I say I was deeply conflicted about switching to Au Ra.

Technically speaking, Blue isn't actually my character's first name. It's a nickname. Formally speaking, her name would look like <insert first name> "Blue" Plenilune. As for what her first name actually is, that I will keep a secret.
