Tips

culture
黛丽 is the back end of 奥黛丽·赫本 (Audrey Hepburn) and similar Western female names. The character choices are deliberately flattering: means 'dark blue-green eye paint' (the inkstone-colored makeup ancient Chinese women used for eyebrows - long associated with feminine beauty), and means 'beautiful'. So a Western 'Audrey' becomes 'eye-makeup-beauty' - about as poetic as transliteration gets.
