Nanako Amaranth/Behind the Scenes

During production of the comic, a lot goes on behind the scenes in regards to planning and design, which often go through multiple stages before resulting in the final version that is published in pages. Some concepts and ideas can have an effect on the show and characters, and unexpected occurrences during production can also lead to changes and additions to the plans for the comic.
== Character Basis ==
Nanako alludes to the historical figure Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, tying in to her older sister Akane's saintly theme. This allusion has had the following influences on the character and comic:
* Nanako prominently wears green, a colour commonly associated with Ireland.
* Her symbol contains two snakes, which Patrick allegedly banished from Ireland.
* Her symbol also contains a shamrock which has ties to both Saint Patrick and Ireland.
== Emblem ==
Nanako's symbol is a shamrock surrounded by two snakes eating each others' tails. Both sets of imagery have strong ties to Saint Patrick and Ireland, inspirations for her character.
== Production ==
* Nanako's eye colour was blue and her natural hair tone was brownish, but her eyes were changed to pink and her hair to a reddish tone so she would appear more in line with her sister Akane.
