Terms Used to Address Characters in Word of Honor

A few introductory notes: this is based on a spreadsheet that I update more frequently, which is mostly a reference for myself as a fic writer. For this reason, the "Name/title" column reflects my own preferences for placing them in fanfiction: it favors transliteration of titles and honorifics, and is not romanized with diacritics. The hanzi is included both for reference and to help you make your own determination.
This list is by no means complete. It grows constantly as I rewatch bits of episodes for reference. Also: there's some notes in the spreadsheet I haven't yet transferred here, but I may work on implementing some footnotes in the future.
