Additional Info of Cagalli:
1. Cagalli is named after Japanese word 'kagaribi' which means a 'bonfire' or a 'watch fire'.
i. It may also have come from a type of Orchid which is in deep red color, Slc Kagaribi Dawn 'Red star' Orchid.
2. There are several references to 'dawn' in groups/objects around her.
i. Her love interest, Athrun Zala's first name means 'dawn' or 'daybreak' in German.
ii. The last mobile suit she pilots, the 'Akatsuki' means 'dawn' in Japanese.
iii. The resistance group she joins is known as the 'Desert Dawn'.
iv. The disastrous counterattack after the ZAFT attack on Tassil took place at dawn.
v. The company that built the original 5 Gundams, Morgenroete, is based in Orb. 'Morgenroete' is German for 'daybreak'.
3. Although her favorite color is green, she has links to the colour red as well.
i. The 'Rouge' in the name of her first mobile suit means red in French.
ii. Her love interest, Athrun Zala, mostly pilots MSes which were all in shades of red.
iii. Her image song is 'Precious Rose'; roses are mostly known for the red colour.
4. Despite the fact that she and Kira Yamato are twin siblings, she insists that Kira is her "little" brother. This is most likely due to his meek nature in the first series. It should be noted that Kira was taken from his mother's womb early in his development and placed into an artificial womb while Cagalli was born as a Natural in her mother's womb, so the two could literally have been born at the same exact time. On another note, since Kira was taken out of their mother's womb first, he is definitely older.

Additional Info of Athrun:
1. Athrun's given name means 'dawn' or 'daybreak' in German. This is a nod to his love interest, Cagalli Yula Athha, who has several links with 'dawn'.
i. In Greek, the word 'Athrun' came from the word 'Al Athrun', it is a small village in Eastern Libya, located about 35 kilometres east of Apollonia. One of the main archaeological attractions of the town are two Byzantine basilicas, beautifully located by the sea and adorned with white marble from Proconnesus. The name Al Athrun is often spelled in various ways, like Athrun, Alathrun, L'athroun, Lathrun or Latrun. According to some sources, the town was established by the Byzantines, who originally named it 'Erythron', from the Greek ερυθρός (Erythron: 'red'), in reference to the red colour of the local earth. Another nod for Cagalli who has links to that color as well. 'Asuran' is actually just the Katakana version of Athrun.
2. He has the somewhat dubious honour of being the only character in the Cosmic Era who self destructed his mobile suits not once but twice. (He detonated the Aegis to destroy the Strike and self destructed the Justice to destroy GENESIS.) Coincidentally, in both detonations, the one who saved him was Cagalli.
