A Bird's Name (鳥の名) is a title for those who contain the meaning of a bird in their name. It is suggested that one must be worthy enough to hold this title. It has an important meaning in Mugenri for unknown reasons[1], which Tenkai Zuifeng explains as such: "'Birds' are those that soar through the heavens [...] They naturally stand above the rest of the populace".[2] A Bird's Name's significance is partially dependent on the bird species referenced, but its true value largely lies in the holder's potential.[3]

Characters with a Bird's Name[edit | edit source]

Odd Cases[edit | edit source]

  • Clause: "HISUI" (翡翠) and "Halcyon" are respectively Japanese and Greek for "kingfisher". It is a name they gave themselves,[4] however, leaving it unclear if this fake name still holds them to being a bearer of a Bird's Name. Their actual name remains unknown.
  • Medias Moritake: Despite being a penguin youkai, they do not have a Bird's Name.[5]
  • Tom C. Zemlja: While "Tom" can refer to male turkeys, their name matching with that of a bird's is coincidential. However, JynX has left it up in the air whether or not they have a Bird's Name.[6] Their appearance is quite bird-like as well.
