Xenoblade Genesis Protagonist Name

BUR #60961 is pending approval.

create alias protagonist_(xenoblade_genesis) -> eleanor_(xenoblade_genesis)

Multiple translations of this tweet by the official Japanese Xenoblade Twitter Account: https://x.com/XenobladeJP/status/2064364104899494196 (several which can be found in the quotes replies) has revealed the protagonist's name to be Eleanor which can be narrowed down to be talking about her, the pink hair elf girl, by her being the only woman in the tweet's pictures (4 appearances) and taking context from the trailer.

While renaming would be preferred, I don't think this knowledge is well known enough yet to warrant the outright replacement of the generic protagonist tag.

names in Japan generally tend to be different in English when it comes to Xenoblade. take Poppi being Hana in Japanese.

it wouldn't be bad for a temporary thing, but it was almost be a fact that it be temporary until the English names come out.

also, whenever we do get the official English name, or we decide to change it to Eleanor, the qualifier is usually just *_(xenoblade) for Xenoblade characters.
