His full name is Dillon Fitzroy Wallace. After the last name of "Baloney", Dillon's middle name has gotten the most complaints/laughs from readers who know about it.
Dillon means "Born from the Ocean".
Fitzroy means "Son of the King".
Wallace means "Foreigner, Stranger"
I searched for Dillon's name on the internet, scrolling through name options. When I came upon his name, the meaning stuck with me. Then I came up with the prophecy. Not surprisingly, Dillon has never had a name change, nor have I ever considered it an option because of that reason. His middle name and last name took the longest to find. I wanted one of his names to relate to his social position and something inconspicuous to relate what he and his family is and how they relate to other people in the world.
Another small tidbit: I prefer the spelling "Dylan", but it was too late. I saw it spelled the other way first. Another example of how my"imaginary" friends aren't in my complete control...
Dillon is the middle child of three. His older brother is Edmund ("Rich protector"). Edmund used to have the name of Philip, but I couldn't stand it. Lisa ("God is my oath") is their younger sister. Their mother is Queen Alora ("My Dream").
Like Cassie, Dillon's relationship with his father is very strained, but it's more because his family is a royal one. The king doesn't quite know how to balance a modern family with his royal duties.
Dillon is one of the few of his kind that is very interested in how humans live. Since he can't learn anything more about his own magic, he decided to go to a normal school and learn about the entirety of the world. Lisa thinks the same way; however, Edmund thinks that they are wasting their time associating with the normal world. If it weren't for his curiosity, Dillon and Cassie would never have met. I really feel like sharing a lot today. The picture above is an outtake picture from when my crew and I took pictures for the covers! Love the colors, but it is not a good angle for a cover.
So, that's all for this character tidbit post. Next month: Diana Jerkins!
