Relationships= 5/5pts

-The relationships are fine, but……….the names are a bit of a problem. Her mother and father have no names despite their importance, especially the mother. And there’s no explanation for what the names of each teammate of hers mean. With Alyssa, alright “jade=green(ish)”. But Brandon? Meri? Even though this doesn't change things for @Ahpolki's point percentage, I did some digging and found that Meri has Finnish roots which I believe means "the sea", according to this site.

As for Brandon, it means "gorse/broom covered hill". The flowers of these plants bloom in a bright yellow, so one could argue that. I know this because 1.) I have made a {self-insert} character with that name and used that argument to gain acceptance for it, and 2.) that's kinda my IRL name so I've kinda looked around for it previously [for various purposes].

Meri's last name Nurmi means "meadow" and Brandon's last name Harlow is a combination of the words for "rock" and "hill."
