Tagging Dragalia Lost characters

I just have a couple questions for consistency right now:

- Should we go with localized names or Japanese names? This post for example tags the main character, his sister, and the fairy as Euden (localized), Xethia (Japanese), and Nhaam (Japanese) respectively. Elphyllis, Clau, and Mumu seem to be popular as well, and all three are using their Japanese names. Should we use Euden's Japanese name, or switch the other characters to their localized names of Zethia, Notte, Elisanne, Cleo, and Mym?

- If we're using the original Japanese names, then where can we find the official romanizations of these names? Xethia and Nhaam in particular interest me since those would typically be romanized as Zeshia and Naamu. I can only assume there's an official romanization out there, which would be useful for tagging Euden (ユーディル) and Ranzal (ランザーヴ). If there isn't an official romanization, then I think it might be better to change the Xethia, Nhaam, Clau, and Elphyllis tags to Zeshia, Naamu, Kurau, and Erufirisu instead. Even if Erufirisu isn't elegant, it's following the romanization rules set by Danbooru. Most non-main characters shouldn't have this localization problem, and this shouldn't matter too much anyways because tag aliasing, but still.

- Lily, a character from Cygames's Rage of Bahamut, also appears in this game. She has a tag here as lily_(granblue_fantasy), but the question has been asked if she should be given the tag lily_(dragalia_lost) instead since they're arguably different characters. I think they're quite clearly the same character that's just being reused in a different setting, but I thought I should still ask.

- As an extreme opposite of the previous question, a number of character designs (and most if not all dragons) in Dragalia Lost are straight from one of Cygames's previous games, Knights of Glory. Thus, would it be necessary to tag knights_of_glory on these characters? While on this topic, will this be necessary for Granblue Fantasy's Kengou and Runeslayer (which might need to be renamed mahousenshi_(granblue_fantasy) for consistency) classes as well, just like how it seems to apply to The Glory and Kuronekodoushi? I'm against this idea because it'll be a pain to manage and it's neither obvious nor easy to research who's based on a KoG class (plus there are a number of Granblue Fantasy characters that should be tagged as Rage of Bahamut characters instead), but, once again, I thought I should ask.

I would personally use the localized names, mainly because the localization rolled out at the same time as the japanese version. People WILL have trouble tagging characters in my opinion. Plus they look much nicer even for the "unlocalized" characters (Xethia's name is the same as the japanese version, but romanized it would be "Zeshia"). I've noticed most characters' names aren't translated, and some of them with western names would look weird (ex. joe_(dragalia_lost)).

Apparently the next Dragon they're going to release is going to be a KoG character. I would tag them as *_(knights_of_glory), aliasing them to *_(dragalia_lost) and *_(granblue_fantasy), but i'm really unsure, since rose_(elsword) is technically female_gunner_(dungeon_and_fighter).

I agree with using localized names too. They're pretty easy to find out (the game lets you switch between English and Japanese text pretty easily), it raises less questions (Nhaam?), and it's more clear (I know I'm the one that mentioned it, but I don't really like Erufirisu...). I saw we use localized names, and then alias alternate spellings of their Japanese name to them (eg. elphyllis_(dragalia_lost) aliases to elisanne_(dragalia_lost)).

If there are no complaints i'll go ahead and tag the remaining characters with their localized names.

So we have a cerberus_(dragalia_lost) tag now... I'm of the opinion that we should just tag her with cerberus_(shingeki_no_bahamut) instead, much like how I'd prefer not to split Lily between lily_(granblue_fantasy) and lily_(dragalia_lost). The differences are insignificant and I think anyone searching up one wouldn't mind finding the other. In fact, I don't know how you could distinguish between the two Lilys without context. Cerberus has a bit of a different design here compared to her original RoB design, but I don't think that's significant enough of a distinction to warrant a separate tag. I can understand splitting jeanne_d'arc_(granblue_fantasy) and jeanne_d'arc_(dragalia_lost) a bit more since there are significant enough differences in lore and design between the two. I'd like to hear @Mysterious_Uploader 's thoughts on this, but I'd also appreciate any thoughts from anyone else as well.

Unfortunately, i haven't played Granblue Fantasy nor Knights of Glory, so i can't recognize characters. I would say that for Lily and Cerberus we should tag them with their *_(shingeki_no_habamut) counterparts since they seem to be the same characters. About Jeanne, the designs are different enough that we can differ between them imo. They don't seem to be the same character, either.
