Towa Herschel
| Origin: | Japanese/German, Nayuta no Kiseki |
|---|---|
| Japanese: | トワ・ハーシェル |
| Appears In: | Sen no Kiseki I-IV |
Origin
Towa is Japanese for 'Eternity'. Herschel is a German name and a diminutive of Hirsch which means 'Deer' or 'Hart'. The famous astronomers William and Caroline Herschel bore the name.
Appearances
- Towa Herschel is a major supporting character in all four Sen no Kiseki games and is directly playable in Sen no Kiseki II.
Trivia
- Towa's name is a double-reference. First, her family name is shared with Nayuta Herschel, the protagonist of Nayuta no Kiseki. Both characters have a great interest in stargazing, making the link to the real-life Herschels obvious. Towa's given name is like Nayuta an atypically Japanese name in a non-Japanese cast and it shares a thematic meaning, as Nayuta is a term for 'Infinity', or at least 'A number so large that infinity can be seen on a clear day'.
- Towa has an alternate universe counterpart in Tokyo Xanadu's Kokonoe Towa.
