Marika's family name literally means "flower field". When asked, she says the meaning of her given name is "true reason of the fragrance".
I didn't want to make pink Marika's image color because it felt overdone for cutesy feminine characters. Blue seemed like a unique but still good choice - especially after seeing how it's the color of what would end up being her associated flower. If her color was pink, her flower would probably be sakura.
