I actually am a "heritage mandarin speaker", so to speak :D. Fen's surname is a direct reference to the character whom she was based off of, aka 白素貞: Madam White Snake.

So I sort-of-subtly changed her first name to pink rather than white. I totally realize your points, but adding in "de" to extend an already long name sounded a little too lengthy/clunky for my preference. And I considered removing the "se" but I figured the extension would make her sound slightly more upper-class, which fits her background.

And yeah, when I first heard Taiyang I was like, "You're kidding me that's just uncreative". And seeing as I was the first person to define Yang's name on the main wiki, I also find it iffy that a character who looks in no way Asian and has no Eastern themes whatsoever has a Chinese name.

Thanks for noticing! Minority representation grumps yo ~
