Elhaym.
The name her mother called her in private.
Her mother wanted her to have a foreign name. Her father didn’t, but in the end gave into his wife’s wish. Her full name was Elhaym Hinako Ninomiya. When her father noticed that her hair wasn’t turning darker he began to get suspicious, then outright hostile. He used her mother’s desire for a foreign name as part of his accusations at her mother.
She had changed that though. As soon as she was old enough she legally had her name changed, so that Elhaym was no longer part of her name. It hurt her greatly to do that. She loved her name. The name Elhaym felt like it was specially given to her, but she had to change for the happiness of her entire family.
“What did you call me,” she asked of Ranma, trying desperately not to show surprise or anything over him mentioning that name. He continued to walk towards her, almost as if he was not really looking at her, but at something only he could see. His eyes suddenly seemed to shift again, and he looked like normal again.
“Hinako? Wha-?” Before she a chance to say anything Ranma turned around and ran away. She heard the door to her home open and close and knew that he was gone. She had many questions, namely about him calling her Elhaym, but bringing it up anytime soon would make him run away again if it disturbed him that much.
Ranma's little outburst brought something to the forefront of her mind however, both of her parents had passed on. Maybe it would be alright to change her name back to Elhaym?
