And yeah, you're right about the Shera/Sierra thing. It's because... AGAIN, the katakana: シェラ = Shera, シエラ = Shiera. Or, since that wasn't clear, "she-ra" and "shi-e-ra." The smaller "e" indicates.. some... thing. I'm not an expert on Japanese, so I don't know exactly how to explain it, but suffice it to say that since they only have a "shi" sound instead of a "si" (pronounced like "see") sound, things get confusing.
