    AHHHH. That makes it a different ball game! And more logical seeing as Blue is the Mother Superior.

    And it’s not unusual for convents or other Catholic institutions be named on some variation of Lady of the Star or Star of the Sea or something. Fits in well with Blue Fairy/Rheul Ghorm/Blue Star and links to their curse-personas of nuns.

    Regarding the Nuns: I just found a second century St. Melitta of Preslav also known as Melissa. Her legend says that she smashed idols with the power of her prayers. The name comes from greek, meaning bee, which would be quite fitting for the fairies.
