This may not be the right forum for this question, as it could be considered a fantasy linguistics question rather than a Pathfinder specific question.

I'm playing a summoner in Jade Regent and my eidolon is a minor aspect/avatar of Shizuru, Minkaian goddess of the sun, honor, ancestors, and swordplay. What Japanese-style honorific should be applied to the end of my eidolon's name given that she is an aspect/avatar of (essentially) a celestial kami?

I figure the answer will probably have to be invented, but I also figure that a helpful speaker and/or scholar of Japanese could come up with something better than what I could come up with in my ignorance. So, anyone around that could help me out, or at least point me to a better place to ask?


When a person in incarnated in Eastern culture, the caste in which they born into determines how they are treated and addressed.

Your eidolon may be an avatar of a god, but it's incarnation is still considered a non-person.


If it is known and believed -sama or -dono would be appropriate.

I would err on the side of -sama personally.
