Here we finally find out the name of this goth-lite girl we’ve been following for the last few pages; Tasi Diangelo. FYI: for the record, Tasi is pronounced this way; sounds like TOSS-SEE. The name Tasi is of Chamoru origin (the Chamoru people are the indigenous peoples of the Mariana Islands). The meaning of Tasi is “sea or ocean.” In Italian the meaning of the name DiAngelo is ” from the angel”. So, very loosely translated, her name means “from the angel ocean” or “from the sea of angels” Notice the type of door knocker? In it, Tasi sees her reflection. A visual foreshadowing of her hidden character that she cannot begin to even contemplate here. And there are other visual clues to her current state of mind. Can you find them?
