Plus, while this a very tiny similarity, both of their names start with the letter W.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Mynet/AkkeyJin were partially inspired by Wilma and translated that into the passion UR you see right now. I'm sure if it was up to Mynet, they would have even named "Wayland" Wilma but since Wilma is a trademarked character and Mynet hasn't really asked for permission from any major companies of popular characters such as DC, Marvel, Nintendo, etc, I guess they had no choice but to name her Wayland. This is just my opinion so I could be wrong.

Plus, this isn't the first character in this game to have similarities to a well-known/trademarked fictional character. Just look at:

Christine-Very similar to Mario (IMO)

Lonsday-Extremely similar in appearance to Kirika Himeno (I looked her up)

These are the only VC maidens I can think of that bear striking similarities to trademarked/popular fictional characters. If anyone knows others, you should share them for fun
