For the longest time, I always thought that Riale's name was written as Rielle. This makes me wonder how we know any of like the spelling for any character names (outside of the main cast who already have their names written in EN too), especially since some letters (like the Ls and Rs) are usually written the same way in JP. Kinda like Falena or Farena, or if its ReBlanche or LeBlanche back when Ch5 was still new.
Sorry if this is long.
"Riale" surprised me too--it's a weird feeling to remember that many of the names/terms we've gotten comfortable with might be very different than what ends up being canon.
Falena/Farena is probably one or the other; that one shouldn't be a major shock. I'm most curious about Neige's last name. I've heard the claim that it must be LeBlanche to match "Blanche neige" (Snow White in French). But the romanization of his name is "Ryubanshe" — there is no L/R after the B.
My personal guess is that it's some kind of rearrangement, so the Blanche cameo is still 100% intended, but not so obvious? Like LeBanche / Lubanche, where they moved the L to the beginning. I've also seen a theory that the "ryuban" part might be "ruban" (French for ribbon).
In Chenya's last name, the 'A' at the end is extended which usually means it becomes -er in EN (Pinker). But the version accepted by the EN fandom seems to be Pinka? I want to know this one too.

R Ortho Shroud Scary Dress Personal Story
Requested by @girl-in-the-tower.
"I'll fully charge myself."
[The Other Dimension – Sparkling Chamber]
Ortho: Kalim Al-Asim-san, Happy Halloween!
Kalim: Oh, Ortho. Happy Halloween!
Kalim: Are you enjoying the party?
Ortho: Yeah, I am! It's fun to dance along with the music, and…
Ortho: It's also nice that the mirrored ball on the ceiling lights up the room every time it turns. Just watching it makes me happy!
Ortho: It really is true that mirrored balls and illuminations have a psychological effect that can lift people's moods, I see.
Kalim: A psychological effect that can lift people's moods…?
Ortho: To put it simply, the sparkling lights make people thrilled and excited.
Kalim: Got it. …Does that mean that if there's a mirrored ball, a normal party can become even more lively?
Ortho: That's highly probable.
Kalim: Awesome! Then I guess I'll have to add a super bright mirrored ball to the Scarabia lounge!
Ortho: Eehh? I think the interior of Scarabia is already flashy enough without a mirrored ball though…
Kalim: Of course, I do like the current lounge as is. But if it's always the same, the dorm students will get bored, don't you think?
Kalim: Ooh. Better idea, I should redecorate the whole lounge to match the mirrored ball!
Ortho: Eh, change the whole room? That's an audacious idea! What kind of ideas do you have to change it up?
Kalim: First, for the wall! What about covering it with a full-length mirror that can reflect the light beautifully?
Ortho: If you're hoping for light refraction or diffusion, then from the point of view of physical optics, I recommend setting up glass cubes instead of a mirror.
Kalim: Oooh~! You really know your stuff, Ortho. Alright, then let's make a wall out of glass cubes! Next isー
Jamil: Kalim, I've brought your food. I've already taste-tested it… What's going on? You seem to be pretty excited.
Ortho: Kalim Al-Asim-san says he's going to install a mirrored ball in the lounge of the Scarabia dorm and completely redecorate it.
Jamil: What!? How did this conversation even start!?
Kalim: We'll stack glass cubes all up against the walls, and cover the sofa and cushions completely in sequins!
Kalim: With this, the lounge will definitely be an sparkling and exciting place that'll be sure to make the parties super lively!
Jamil: Hey wait, calm down! Are you even thinking about how much time and money such a large-scale remodel like this will cost!?
Kalim: Yeah, that's true.
Kalim: Okay, we should make haste, then! Jamil, I need you to contact some vendors first thing tomorrow morning! I want to get this completed as soon as possible!
Ortho: Fufufu! Kalim-san is a pretty interesting person. But…
Ortho: Even without resorting to a large-scale remodeling project like that, if you just invite me over, then I can help you do what you want, Kalim-san.
Kalim/Jamil: Eh?
Jamil: Are you serious, Ortho!?
Ortho: Yep. I don't need such old-fashioned set-ups like a wall of glass cubes or sequined fabrics.
Ortho: That's because my brother installed many of the world's most advanced technological features in me!
Ortho: First, let's start with the illumination devices for the colorful lights…
Ortho: I can use LEDs and beams of light to illuminate the room in nine different colors.
Kalim: Nine colors! There's no doubt at all, that'll be so colorful and everyone'll be so hyped!
Jamil: That's amazing, Ortho! Please tell us more. I'm sure because it's you, you've got other great features, right?
Ortho: Of course! I can also use projection mapping to cast things onto the wall or ceiling.
Ortho: If you use this feature, you can not only change the wallpaper and fabric colors, but the whole landscape of the room.
Ortho: You can experience extraordinary locations like outer space and under the sea with the touch of a button. Isn't that amazing?
Kalim: Yeah, that's amazing, Ortho! I'm excited just hearing about it.
Ortho: I have many more features that'll be entertaining for everyone. Like…
[activates smoke]
Kalim: Wah, what's all this smoke!?
Ortho: I activated "Smoke Mode." This can cover about a large floor of 200 square meters. In addition I have…
[activates snow]
Jamil: Ohhh, is this snow? Pretty dramatic.
Ortho: "Weather Mode" can reproduce all kinds of weather indoors, from light rain to snowstorms.
Ortho: And finally… how about something like this?
[activates flower petals]
Kalim: Ah! This time it's flower petals… And there's some kind of nice aroma too. It feels like I'm in the middle of a flower field…
Ortho: This is "4-D Mode." You can give your audience a sense of immersion and a realism by not only appealing to sound and sights but also to their sense of smell.
Jamil: Each and every one of those are amazing functions! For one person to be able to do so many wonderful effects… I'm impressed!
Kalim: Wow! It's so rare to see Jamil this excited about something!
Kalim: Ortho, you're really great at getting people hyped up!
Kalim: If you were a Scarabia student, I'd appoint you Party Ambassador!
Ortho: Eh, me?
Kalim: Cause we've been so engrossed more with you than with the mirrored ball since we started talking!
Kalim: I bet we could hold a bright and exciting party without any remodeling if you were there!
Kalim: Hey, Ortho. Do you want to join us at our dorm for our next party? I want to be able to show the other dorm students your amazing techniques!
Ortho: Wah! You're going to invite me to one of your parties? I'm so happy! I'll fully charge myself before I come so that I don't run out of batteries during it.
Kalim: Then it's decided! Then, we have to also prepare something that Ortho can enjoy too, Jamil!
Jamil: Yeah. Definitely, since Ortho is our savior who was able to navigate Kalim's unreasonable… I mean, since he is an important guest to our dorm.
Jamil: The whole dorm will work to fully entertain him.
Ortho: Eheheh. I'm so glad that you all were pleased with the features that I had installed for Halloween.
Ortho: All right, once this party is over, I'll immediately get the preparations started!
Ortho: I'll try to think if there's any kind of idea that'll surprise everyone more than today did.
Ortho: I'm going to throw such a glitzy party that no one has ever seen before. Please look forward to it, you two!
Kalim/Jamil: Yeah! / Yeah.
