Nickname

As Vexaǂprymmalʘyersevva is impossible for the uninitiated to pronounce and "Vexa" is a swear word in some languages, she goes by "Catscratch".

The weird symbols in her name are verbal clicks. To hear what they sound like, this video explains it well with examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXcnxNOeGjs&ab_channel=BenDuMonde

All that is relevant is that ǂ sounds a bit like the noise when you go, "tsk tsk tsk", and ʘ is similar to a kissing noise.
