## Etymology

Cara is the Latin and Italian word for “dear” as in “cherished, beloved” but it is also the Irish-Gaelic word for “friend”. With a name like Cara you get two lovely etymologies for the price of one! And if that’s not enough, “cara” is the Spanish word for “face”. Her name is a play of irony since Melody makes her the most hated person in the school. Though Cara says she was very much loved at her old school.
