It stops looking like a random selection of characters when you start looking at the background color of each portrait.

I thought Yamame was doing 'string play spider baby'

MIND = BLOWN

I get about half of them; I don't get Byakuren, Seiga, Sekibanki, Keine, or Yamame.

Every depicted character has a color as part of their name. SEIga, BYAKUren, SEKIbanki, KamiSHIRAsawa, KUROdani.

I'm confused now. What didn't you understand then?

Maybe he didn't get that the ones you pointed have the same kanji of the colors they have here:
聖 白蓮, Hijiri Byakuren > 白(White) Why would you question the Saint of the White Lotus being white?
霍 青娥, Kaku Seiga > 青(Blue)
赤蛮奇, Sekibanki > 赤(Red/Crimson)
上白沢　慧音, Kamishirasawa Keine > 白(White)
黒谷 ヤマメ, Kurodani Yamame > 黒(Black)

Yes, thank you. The others were easy to figure out, these I didn't know.

Because the other examples show how it's done (Letty WHITErock has a WHITE background, etc), I thought it was redundant to say that the parts I wrote in upper case were the colors, sorry.
