My Elder Nightsaber is my first pet, and I intended it to be so, just so I could name her Bezekira. There's a bit of backstory to her...
I used to play EQ. Fun game, but too much downtime after fights, among other things. Back then I had a Vah'Shir Bard called Bezekira. The Vah'Shir are basically, humanoid, six-foot tall cats. They are awesome, and have great starting stats. They also just look freaking cool. So in homage to my old main, I named my pet after her. Not to mention, a Bezekira is a hellcat, out of the D&D monsters manual. :) Added fun? My hunter's name is Gamadryh, which is the name of my old Beastlord out of EQ, which was their version of a hunter, and also a Vah'Shir. :D (Even more fun: Gamadryh is "Kelethin," the Elven home city, translated through FFX's "Al Bhed" language. I'm SUCH a dork!)
Comments? Love to hear them! Oh, and I'm gonna tame me a wolf soon and call him "Perrin." Bonus points to those who get the joke!
