Lira Echigo

Lira Echigo (リラ) is a side character in Call of the Night. She attends the night school Nico Hirata teaches at, and falls in love at first sight with Kou Yamori, who she meets there.

Etymology

 * Lira's surname Echigo means "surpass, cross over, move to, exceed, Vietnam" (越) (echi) and "rear, remainder" (後) (go).

Trivia

 * Lira hates her name as, when read out, it can sound like "ecchi gorilla" (えっちゴリラ), which is a name people used to bully her with during her childhood. They'd call her a gorilla due to her unusually tall height.
 * Lira's name may be in reference to the flower lilac, as it's written the same way in Japanese.
