'''Q. Why does everyone spell Thouars/Thuearle/Thoearle differently? What's the right spelling?'''

A. Her shoulders are covering two letters of her name in the character page, so we know T--earle but not the other letters.

Thouars is a municipality in France with the same kana-ization.

Thuearle is a fairly natural guess based on the Japanese pronunciation (something like Tualle).

If you look at the other character pages for this volume, the U in this font doesn't have a little diagonal chunk taken out of the upper right corner, and neither do AEI. It's hard to imagine that the third letter is a consonant, so you figure it must be O. That's how you get Thoearle.

The right spelling is Twoearle (Two-earle).

'''Q. What about elements/affinities/attributes/traits?'''

A. Zokusei (属性) literally means "attribute" or "property," but... Here's an explanation translated from this QA site [http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1212730352] (without much polishing):

<table style="border: 1px red solid; padding: 3px 6px; margin: 3px 3em;"><tr><td valign=top>
<p>メガネ属性ってなんですか？</p>

<p>例　『メガネ属性の方に！』と本屋さんで貼ってありました…<br />
意味がわかりません。</p></td><td></td><td valign=top><p>What is the "glasses zokusei"?</p>

<p>For example, "For those with the glasses zokusei!" was pasted up at a bookstore.<br />I don't understand what it means.</p></td></tr>

<tr><td></td><td style="height: 10px; color:red; text-align:center;"></td><td></td><tr>

<tr><td valign=top><p>実際はかなり細かく分類されるようですが、物凄く大まかに言うと「眼鏡をかけてる女の子（男の子）が好きな人」のことです。</p>

<p>こんなの聞いたことありませんか？<br />
「女の人が髪を掻きあげる仕草に弱い」<br />
「ショートカットの女性が好き」<br />
「女性のうなじに弱い」<br />
等など・・・。<br />
メガネ属性の『属性』もこれらと同じように『弱い・好き＝属性』という意味で使われています。</p>

<p>そもそもこの「属性」って言葉はゲームなどの設定（火の属性は水の属性に弱いとか）で使われていた用語ですが、今ではそこから派生し、いわゆる『萌え』の対象（～好き）を指す言葉としても使われています。</p></td><td></td><td valign=top><p>There seems to be a very detailed classification in practice, but as a terribly rough approximation, it means someone who likes girls (or boys) wearing glasses.</p>

<p>Haven't you heard things like this?<br />
"I'm weak against a woman brushing her hair back from her face."<br />
"I like women with short hair."<br />
"I'm weak against the nape of the neck."<br />
Etc, etc.<br />
The "zokusei" in "glasses zokusei" is used the same way, with the meaning that "weakness / liking = zokusei."</p>

<p>This word "zokusei" was originally used in the settings of games (the fire zokusei would be weak against the water zokusei, say), but now, as a derived meaning, it's also used to indicate the target of your so-called "moe."</p>

Reading this, I thought "element" would be good, and it goes well with the word Elemera, so that's what I did.

'''Q. What does the name of the school, Yougetsu (陽月), mean?'''

My best guess is that it's a reference to [http://hizuki-doll.jp/ Hizuki (陽月)], a doll designer and exhibitor who likes their dolls to have [https://www.google.com/search?q=hizuki%E3%80%80%E9%99%BD%E6%9C%88&tbm=isch really long hair].

'''Q. Why Ultima Guil and not Ultimate Guild? Also, why did it used to be Lizad instead of Lizard and Tutle instead of Turtle?

The guildies like to drop a character or two from their names for some reason.

Ultimate Guild = Arutimetto Girudo → Arutime Giru<br />
Lizard = Lizaado → Lizado<br />
Turtle = Taatoru → Tatoru<br />
Fox = Fokkusu → Fokusu<br />
Dragon = Doragon → Doragu?

I tried to translate this by dropping a letter from the English name, but doing that was probably too distracting.
