About the name, it's already been established to have Native American roots. I mean, when I was much younger and lived further east I was in something called the Indian guide (no personal heritage though) and was given the name Running Antelope (I think it was because my ADHD wasn't in control at the time :f6
. Anyway, they generally have a set pattern of names; running, sitting, dancing, etc. followed by an aspect of nature that relates to them.
On a more curious note, if that is supposed to be Dances with Balrog's dad, or even his former self, why does the same Athena Pierce look so much older? I mean, with Grendel and Alacaster, I can understand since their magic has allowed them outside the bounds of age, but is Athena a non-human? That is the only thing I can think of to let her retain youth after so long. But then again, how long ago is Ellin Forest exactly?
