It had already been solved but nice to know that someone else is thinking up these things on their own. As for Pyrrha, she seems to be based off of Achilles to be precise.

Achilles was disguised as a woman by his mother in an attempt to avoid having to fight in the Trojan War, more accurately he disguised himself as a redheaded woman and assumed the name Pyrrha. Also interestingly Pyrrha's name is in itself her reference to a colour since Pyrrha is Greek for "flame coloured" so coined after the red hair of Pyrrha, the survivor of the bronze age end in Greek mythology. Also I kind of wonder if her name may at all allude to the term Pyrrhic Victory. It may just be a coincidence since Pyrrhic Victory actually comes from Pyrrhus of Epirus, the emperor and NOT anyone actually named Pyrrha (though Achilles' son's name can be translated to Pyrrhus for what little it's worth) but it's possible, and would be a very scary thing to have knowledge of considering the potential foreshadowing that would be implied.
