not pertinent information about the deck
==Etymology==
The archetype's name is an alteration of "labyrinth" whose Japanese pronunciation sounds similar to "love (you)". Additionally, it may be a portmanteau with [[wikipedia:labrys|labrys]], a term for double-bladed axes (such as the one wielded by "[[Lovely Labrynth of the Silver Castle]]"), which are an important religious symbol of the ancient Cretan religion usually associated with goddesses, with Crete being the purported location of the [[wikipedia:Labyrinth#Cretan labyrinth|Minoan Labyrinth]]. The labrys is also sometimes used as a symbol of the lesbian community, which may hint at the princess holding feelings for the unnamed feminine knight depicted in the Trap Cards' artworks (supported by the artwork of "[[Big Welcome Labrynth]]", where a flurry of cherry blossoms in the background forms a heart).
The retainers ("Arianna", "Ariane", and "Arias") derive their names from [[wikipedia:Ariadne|Ariadne]], the girl who helped [[wikipedia:Theseus|Theseus]] escape the Minoan Labyrinth.
