Author's Commentary #9:
Time to talk about Chapter 9: Inez and the blueberry sea.
Inez just can't catch a break. Now she's blue and sticky along with Muazzez. Allura and Alina are is back too along with some new faces. Let's go over the bios.
アルパイン・パクラドゥーニ (Arpine Pakradouni) is how Arpine's name would be spelled in katakana. Արփինե Պակրադունյան (Arpine Pakradouni) is how it would be spelled in Armenian.
Her birthday is July 24th. I chose the date at random, so there's no greater significance behind why this date is her birthday.
Her favorite piece is the queen.
ローザ・リベロ (Rosa Rivero) is how Rosa's name would be spelled in katakana.
Her birthday is July 14th, which is the day Argentina won their 16th Copa América title.

ザジラ・イスマグロヴァ (Zhazira Ismagulova) is how Zhazira's name would be spelled in katakana. Жазира Исмағұлова (Zhazira Ismagulova) is how it would be spelled in Kazakh.
Her birthday is August 3rd, which she shares with Kazakhstani international master, Meruert Kamalidenova.

Zhazira is another character I meant to introduce earlier, mainly due to her relationship with Allura. Like Alina, I jut wasn't able to find the proper time to do so until now.
ジリヤ・アゾフスカヤ (Zylija Azovskaya) is how Zylija's name would be spelled in katakana. Зылиджа Азовская (Zylija Azovskaya) is how it would be spelled in Kazakh.

マリアス・ニヤジミベトワ (Marias Niyazimibetova) is how Marias' name would be spelled in katakana. Марияс Ниязимибетова (Marias Niyazimibetova) is how it would be spelled in Kazakh.
(If I made any mistakes with the translations, feel free to correct me).
Her birthday is February 26th, which she shares with Kazakhstani grandmaster, Bibisara Assaubayeva.
Her favorite piece is the queen.
And with that, the bios are done, but there will be more in the coming chapters. As for the game, I just wanted Inez and Muazzez to end up sticky and blue, so I threw them on a team together and had Muazzez throw the match, or at the very least, not play efficiently.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
