I think its origin is Hebrew, but I found it on a list of Russian names! I looked through a LOT of name lists while developing the main characters for YWN and tried to get a colorful mix of different origins, since the comic is set in a complete fantasy world with a lot of different cultures and creatures and it would be strange to only have German names or English Names, at least that's what I thought. But I didn't want to make all the names up, so I just chose to pick names of different origin that I liked! 

When I first drew Mischa, her name was actually Umbra, which is latin for shadow. But I felt like latin was a bit overused in fictional works, so I decided to look for a new name. Before I found Mischa, I actually gave her a place-holder name, which was Mary, because I thought of a stupid pun involving nightmare -> nightMary, so yeah...xD

Haha nightMaryXD But that's so cool! I really like her name and I agree that it does seem like latin is pretty overused these days. I really do love the diversity behind that- can't wait to know more about the characters through the story!
