Names, Handles, and More: The Meme

[elaphaea]

Talk about how you came up with your character's...

• Name
• trolltag / chumhandle
• symbol

In Homestuck, characters -- troll characters in particular, but kids too -- seem to have a really dominant, defining theme that determines where their name, handle, and symbol are drawn from.

Did you think about that stuff when you designed your character? If so, HOW DID YOU CHOOSE IT, AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Oh, I really like how you looked to constellations for your naming convention -- it ties in so nicely with canon. Also, I made the "cadence" (or possibly also "cadenza," fwiw) connection with her name, but I didn't know there was an additional, constellation connection there, and naturally I was curious where "Zurahe" came from.
