#and her real name derives from someone who was so selfabsorbed that he drowned in his own mirror image

One of the funniest things about AK is still Rosmontis' codename.

You see, they really wanted to hammer home the rosemary motif, as rosemary stands for remembrance and can also strengthen brain connections, thus stimulating memory. The scientific name for the rosemary plant is Ros marinus, meaning "dew of the sea".

So why is she named Rosmontis, instead of Rosmarinus (or perhaps Rosmarina)?

Well, we all know what the sea stands for in Terra, don't we. Most bodies of water there are "fake seas" as the real seas are...well, the Seaborn are there and many people thus fear the sea. The sea bears negative connotations for most.

Which is likely why they instead opted to go for "mountains" instead of "sea". Which makes "Ros montis", aka..."Dew of the Mountains".

Rosmontis is literally named "Mountain Dew".
