— Campanella —
Campanella's name comes from an Italian surname campana, meaning "bell." Often used to reference a "bellmaker" or "ringer" in European origin. In "Monere," Campanella's name signifies the tolling of the world's bells: the player can choose to save the world or not. Commonly in mythology, death is denoted as the "ringing of bells," with Christian motifs describing the "bells of heaven."
Campanella's name also references the famous Paganini/Liszt "La Campanella," commonly described as a light and airy piece. Campanella's personality starts as a very light-hearted and joyful person, working in a stereotypically "bright/pure" job: a priestess.
