Gah, they called Caldina Gardina in the manga translations! D: I'm sure they had their reasons... I think, but it totally sent me on a rampage of horror.

Beware the maddened otaku! D8

O.O Yikes!

They did? Even in the right-to-left ones? I know that in the original left-to-right series, she had two or three different spellings across the six books (the translation for those is pretty spotty in a lot of places; the rereleased r-to-l ones fixed most of that).

Yes, in the right-to-left ones DX It's "Gardina" the whole time.

Gardina? That's terrible. D: You should've burned the manga the first time you read that name.

If you listen to them speak her name in Japanese it is really, really hard to distinguish between "Caldina" and "Gardina" so I don't really know which one is correct. "Caldina" is much more widely accepted though.
