Note: You may remember GrimGrimoire from my previous Amoretta Virgine post, and while I noted that it was made by Vanillaware, what I didn’t mention is all of the character are named after spirits. 

 
The main character from the game, Lillet Blan takes her name from the aperitif Lillet Blanc, a fortified white wine most known for being featured in the Vesper, otherwise known as the James Bond Martini.
