Origin
Though Lilligant's flower is similar in appearance to the rafflesia, its relaxing smell makes it more likely to be based on either an orange, pomelo, mandarin orange, or carnation's flowers, all of which are used in essential oils for aromatherapy. Because of this, the leaves of its body may also have been based on other essential oil ingredients, such as spearmint and/or peppermint. Her crown and regal attire may be a reference to high class or royal women's fashion in the late 1700's. She could also be based on a dancer, since she learns only moves with the word Dance in them via level up, excluding moves she knows from the start.
Name origin
Lilligant likely combines lily and elegant. Dredear may come from ドレス dress, ディア dear, レディ lady and possibly the flower genus Dianthus.
