Back in elementary school I had a friend living in another city, and we used a ‘secret language’ to send each other letters (written with a dip pen and ink, because that was way cooler than ballpoint pens). The secret language is essentially a pretty common cipher with a personal twist, with the personal twist being that the words should be pronouncable, although that goal has only partly been reached. In this cipher, my real name translates to Vsotvep.
My profile picture has the character 鳥, which means bird. In Japanese it is pronounced トリ (tori). Many of the friends I made in Japan, including my girlfriend, call me Tori, so I’ve started to get quite fond of it. Also, 鳥 is a fun character to write.
