"Para Para"

[antie]

This is for the person who named this section of the Sailor Mercury Online message board.

Keep in mind that the four girls are named after asteroids: Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta.

"Para Para" is a romanization of the Japanese script. It is an approximation of a real name. "Sere Sere," "Jun Jun," and "Besu Besu" are also romanizations.

Cerecere's name is written "Cerecere" because it comes from "Ceres."

Junjun's name is written "Junjun" because it comes from "Juno."

Vesves' name is written "Vesves" because it comes from "Vesta."

Since the girl who wears blue has a name that derives from "Pallas," and the su part of Parasu (the Japanese approximation of the name Pallas) is removed to make Para, her name is written "Pallapalla" when it is used with "Cerecere," "Junjun," and "Vesves."

"Para Para" goes with "Sere Sere," "Jun Jun," and "Besu Besu."

"Pallapalla" goes with "Cerecere," "Junjun," and "Vesves."

So, the "Parapara" part of the message board should be "Pallapalla."

I always thought Palla Palla was named after the Japanese for "pitter patter".

Para Para was the funniest of the four and the cutiest.
She did more as that other three put together.
