FYI, it's pronounced 'kwunt' and yes, that's my real name. I believe that
it's Arabic in origin.

It always causes raised eyebrows and snickers whenever anyone sees my
surname written down - until I explain to them that I'm not winding them up.
I used to really hate it when I was younger (especially when the kids at
school realised that my first name could be shortened to 'Dick'). :)

I took Misato's purple hair to just be a bit of artistic lisence with the
standard Japanese dark brown/black colour.
