Biography

Nomenclature
Following the pattern of Zora characters in, and  being named after musical concepts, Yona's name is derived from the yo-na-nuki Japanese. Prior to the western being taught in Japan, the seven-note scale was taught in the  using Japanese numeral names, as hi fu mi yo i mu na. Thus, yo-na-nuki onkai (ヨナ抜き音階) means "scale omitting the fourth and seventh tones" (in the do-re-mi solfège, fa and ti). The Japanese names of Yona's attendants, Chroma and Khira, also reference this way of counting notes: Chroma is named (also a female given name, 一二三), and Khira is named. Additionally, Yona's musical theme uses this scale in the same way that Mipha's Theme and Sidon's Theme use the notes they are respectively named after, mi-fa and ti-do.

Yona is also unique in that her name above dialogue boxes displays as "???" until she formally introduces herself. Most characters display their names as soon as Link speaks to them even if they have not yet introduced themselves (or more commonly do not at all), or in rare occasions lack a name tag entirely.
