Just a couple of notes about who the characters are and pronunciation. There's a few jokes about language that I don't thoroughly explain. Other than that, you can skip this.
Evie: Aoibh (pronounced EE-f), Irish descent, daughter of Old Red, last Welsh Red Dragon and half-witch/half goddess. Granddaughter of Apollo.
Diyiren: (pronounced Dee-yee-ren), Chinese descent, son of Satan and Black Dragon Clan princess. Has some gold dragon lineage. Formal name is King Ao Guang (pronounced Ow Gwahng).
Nianzang: Son of Diyiren and Aoibh. He calls Diyiren A-Die (pronounced Ah-Dee-ih). This is kind of a cutesy way of saying Daddy. Mostly, I can't stand writing Die every time Nianzang refers to his father. Nianzang calls him Fuqin (Foo-cheen; father) when he's mad at him.
Beelzebub: Son of Lucifer, half human. Often called BoBo (not Bobo the clown, Chinese for elder uncle--the oh is very round in pronunciation).
Satan: Son of Lucifer, half-brother of Beelzebub.
Madame Long: What Diyiren's mother is referred to at the Fortress.
Old Red: AKA Lao Honger (which means Old Red in Chinese, in a cutesy way).
Siofra: (pronounced Shee-fra), Irish half-witch, half-goddess, daughter of Apollo, mother of Aoibh.
Bronagh an Mhor: an Mhor: the great. Known as Gran. Demon slayer witch.
An Dorcha: Pronounced Ahn Dor-hah. The Dark. In Irish, An=The.
Translation of a few things Gran says: "Dúnmharfóirí, ollephists and munmharfoiri.": Murderers, monsters, killers. "Cailín craiceáilte." Crazy Girl
