Well, this explains a lot
ANet does their homework. Very thoroughly, I might add.
Even just the design of the sylvari proves that.
You realize those fortune-telling things are explicitly worded as such that anyone can read about themselves (or in this case, those of a fictional character) between the nondescript lines, right?
I just randomly selected another name from that site:
Nadyenka
People with this name tend to be creative and excellent at expressing themselves. They are drawn to the arts, and often enjoy life immensely. They are often the center of attention, and enjoy careers that put them in the limelight. They tend to become involved in many different activities, and are sometimes reckless with both their energies and with money.
Sounds pretty much exactly like Scarlet to me. Or this one:
Ragnilde
People with this name are excellent at analyzing, understanding, and learning. They tend to be mystics, philosophers, scholars, and teachers. Because they live so much in the mind, they tend to be quiet and introspective, and are usually introverts. When presented with issues, they will see the larger picture. Their solitary thoughtfulness and analysis of people and world events may make them seem aloof, and sometimes even melancholy.
Again extremely Scarlet-esque.
