Getting back on the subject of Warriors of Light (yes, I know we said those were our final words, but hear me out), I must acquiesce.
Can we agree on this?
Warriors of Light must
A. Have the Echo, and
B. Must be fighting against the Darkness in some way, be it directly in combat, or indirectly through support of those in combat or philosophically or any other number of methods of 'war'.
Someone who merely possesses the Echo but otherwise lives a normal life (ala the aforementioned priest) would not be referred to as a Warrior of Light, but someone like Minfilia who directly opposes the forces of Darkness would qualify (by Hydaelyn's own standards), though she does not fight on the front lines and isn't referred to by this title directly.
As such, I would assume (dangerous word, I know) that most player characters with the Echo would be Warriors of Light by default. There are a few (emphasis on a few) players who would prefer to play NPC-type characters who may possess the Echo but otherwise live normal lives, but they are largely the exception that proves the rule.
I am now actually waffling on whether or not T'rahnu herself would actually qualify as a Warrior of Light, as she does not directly oppose the forces of Darkness, but rather happens upon them by mere circumstance. It may be that I would have to refer to her as a Warrior of Light* with an asterisk (same as I would for Minfilia).
Either way, I'll continue to use Warrior of Light as shorthand for someone with the Echo, as it's simply how I've been using it for quite some time now.
