Talk:Gloriosa

Query
Has anyone seen any other name for this character? Since the others are all flowers, I'm guessing the name is slightly wrong or this is a Japanese name for one of the flowers. --One-Winged Hawk 08:30, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Colour lesson
Okay boys and girls, I don't suppose anyone remembers the lesson I once wrote up on black shading but its somewhere on Zoro's discussion page (I think). Well heres the reverse on white.

Basically, white is white the same as black is black and so when you lighten black or darken white you get various grey shades. Trouble with grey? It kills colours just as both white and black can in equal amounts.. It dulls it and makes it look bland. Therefore cream, light blue, light purple and pink are also used to avoid the flat grey shading. Even the slightest tint of any of those will stop that dull grey ruining the white.

And thats todays colour art lesson.

Stay tuned for the next one! Which byt my calcutions on the last will be in 2 years time. :-? One-Winged Hawk 16:49, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

Don't forget when hair is colored in darkly it isn't always black/brown. It could be bright red too. Drunk Samurai 17:27, September 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hmm... Well we aren't in the midst of a green/brown/whatever Zoro bandana argument at least like the last colour shading thing that cropped up. lol.  That was silly.  One-Winged Hawk 21:30, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

Gloriosa or Nyon
I've noticed there has been a bit of transistion from using a character's nickname (or codename in the three Admiral's cases) to their real name (i.e. the article on Kuzan orginially titled Aokiji before it was changed to his real name). I was wondering if we should do the same to this article, as the Blue Deep databook refers to her as Gloriosa (with Nyon) in captions the same way the Admirals are refered to by their real names with their codenames in captions.

The problem is we don't know if Nyon is a petname, or if she abandoned the name Gloriosa. Right now it seems like she chose to abandon Gloriosa, similar to how Ace decided to be Portgas D. Ace instead of Gol D. Ace. Though, with the databook, that might change now. You said that it was written exactly as "Gloriosa (Nyon)"? 02:51, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

Yes it is written in Blue Deep as "グロリオーサ (ニヨン婆)". Jigsaw Billy 03:13, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

So? I don't remember her using "Nyon" to refer to herself, nor anything that tells us she abandoned "gloriosa". It seems to me that everybody simply call her "Nyon".

Page name
It should be her real name, Gloriosa. --Klobis (talk) 06:31, January 24, 2015 (UTC)

You sure she's not like Franky, who abandoned the name Cutty Flam? 06:38, January 24, 2015 (UTC)

She did not call herself Nyon and there is no reason for her to do like Franky. --Klobis (talk) 10:35, January 24, 2015 (UTC)

I'm torn on this, since Klobis makes a good point. According to the references, her birthday is confirmed in the Blue databook. Can we find out if she's called Nyon or Gloriosa in that databook? Because I can't think of anything else to settle this.
