My question is about guidelines in a characters name, mostly when it comes to the priority of the translation for the name.

Asking because I noticed the character from Tearmoon Empire Liora Lulu got changed to Liora Lulus as it was shown on promotional material for upcoming anime. The official translation from J-Novel Club of the manga and LN of the series has it as Lulu and seeing the name got changed here made me curious. Obviously it's a minor thing but just got me all curious on which translation would take priority, between official JP romaji of the names or the official English translations.

From what i understand , the priority is Official Japanese > MAL's.
