The Artist Greatest of all time. Purest in Perfection and Eternally Above the globes. That collection of the worlds uniformly mere in emotionality, wee capabilities. The Idealism's King became free.

I'm working on a WIP writing piece and I had the idea to have a group of characters whose names were derived either from musical terminology, operatic terminology or roles, theatrical terminology or roles, or archetypal performance roles (think The Harlequin). I primarily need three names: Firstly is the young Ingénue, the passionate starlet who sings beautifully and seeks her fortune in life. Something which speaks to passion, beauty, but perhaps a lack of wisdom or structure. Perhaps too eager and fast tempo, charging ahead without forethought. Obviously a name like Aria comes to mind as it's a beautiful solo melody performed by a leading lady, but I fear that's too obvious. It is a pretty name, though. Then there's her father. A character who tries to hold her back and keep her from exploring this lifestyle, to keep her safe from the world. He would rather keep her at home and tries to discourage her dreams. I want to express in musical terms something that holds the melody back, or suppresses its ability to change. Or perhaps a performance role whose job it is to interfere in the heroine's journey in some way or keep her somewhere she doesn't want to be, much like the Lotus Eaters try to entrap the sailors in the Odyssey. Finally, I need a female sounding name for the woman who offers the Ingénue a way forward into the life she's always dreamt of. A musical term for drastic, sudden change, or allowing for passionate freedom of exploration, especially if it can cause the music to become overwhelming or disorienting. She can have a slightly more dangerous or mysterious tint to her, as she opens the door to the sleazy underbelly the father wanted to shield his daughter from. Not quite a hero, not quite a villain. Just an enabler that opened the door and allowed the Ingénue to explore a new life she's never experienced before.
