Glossary

I'm sorry if the names get confusing, but I wrote it that way so it’s evident who’s close friends with whom.

Important note: I HAD written the names in Japanese order, meaning the family name comes first.
Example: Western order=Midori Yukibana
          Japanese order=Yukibana Midori

Also, I use the following name suffixes:
-sama = Lord/Lady. Also used for gods
-san = sort of like Mr./Ms./Mrs. Used for courtesy, especially if the listener/subject is older, or if it’s a new acquaintance
-kun = for equals
-chan = used only if the subject and speaker are familiar.
-sensei = teacher
-sempai =senior/upperclassman

Commonly used Japanese terms:
Obaasan - aunt
Okaasan - mother
Oneesan - older sister
Oniisan - older brother
Otoosan - father
[*the -san here can be replaced by the suffixes above. It works the same way.
Trivia: the Japanese make nicknames commonly by using the first few syllables of the name, and attach the -chan.
Example: Midori->Mi-chan as Samantha->Sam.
Also, if two people are just acquaintances (and not really friends), they use the surname only.]
