Food Logic

This is about Ume. All the human characters of Ume have Japanese names, specifically they are all Japanese food word names.

A brief reasoning:

Ume: "Japanese Apricot", an Asian plum. Really Ume's name comes from the variety of things that are created from the ume fruit. Most things lean towards being sweet, but also can be sour, salty or tangy. This mostly reflects in Ume's personality, which will be seen in the upcoming Ume comics. Generally liked, a bit odd.

Tamago: (Tamagoyaki) "Grilled egg", Japanese omelette. Tamago was made to be the slightly more reasonable counterpart to Ume. She is fairly simple, though has many layers, can be sweet or savory. Well liked, easy going.

Senbei: Japanese rice cracker. Senbei hasn't come into the Ume comic yet, but he's currently the only male character. Sometimes sweet, more often savory with a little saltiness. He's sociable, small and a bit snappy. Well liked, casual.

(It's very bizarre to talk about these foods and then apply them to characters, actually it's a little creepy. Ergh. It made sense at the time.)

Opposed to the human characters of Ume, there are the animals.
Pop: Ume's cat
Skid: Pop's cat friend, scruffy
Fizz: The small turtle

I'm not sure why all the animals have short little names like that. Their names relate too but less logically than the weirdo food names...

Hope you enjoyed the brief dip into crazytown. :D
