Name Update
Yen Press has released Volume 4 as of yesterday (June 23). I don't have the physical release yet, but the digital release spells her name as...well... Izliz Swordflail. Her full name is written twice in Chapter 33 and the character summary in Vol 4's bonus content; the 'Episode 4' short story also spells her first name as Izliz.

Personally, I am more than exasperated with her name's constant spelling fluctuations. Chapter releases are one thing, but you'd expect the volume releases to have more consistency. Any speculation you might pose as to 'why' this happened, at this point, isn't going to reflect well on YP. Whether they simply forgot to update Izliz to Easlies in Chapter 33 (which doesn't account for why 'Izliz' is used in Episode 4], decided it's "Izliz Swordflail" after all, or just aren't keeping track of the spelling they're using...it's frustrating wiki-wise no matter what.

That is to say, we must once again decide whether to rename her page. If you refer to my previous comment, you'll see that I decided to rename her page from "Izliz Swordfail" to "Easlies Swordfrail" in direct deference to the Volume 3 release. Clearly I put too much faith in the volume releases' consistency. IF I am to rename the article in deference to Volume 4, what are the chances her name will change again in Volume 5?

I have the impression that 'Izliz Swordflail' has been used more than 'Easlies Swordf(r/l)ail' so far, so it might be best to go with the former...just think of the redirects.

For the moment, I think I'll hold off on the renaming decision until I can confirm what the spelling is in the physical release. (It's also possible YP might update the digital release retroactively re:name spellings; they've done so with other releases).

Is there someone with a Twitter account who could ping (@) the Yen Press Twitter account to ask what the 'right' spelling is? Twitter is the one place where fans seem to have a chance at 'hearing from' YP. Although I'd rather we didn't have to air the inconsistent spelling publicly, I'm at the point where I'm hesitating to rely on the actual release as it is now.

Just think of the casual reader's experience--what's with this character's name changing every volume, am I right?
