The second character is dragon.
Red Demon
赤鬼 is the title of the red-horned demon or red ogre.

Baby
赤ん坊 is one way that Japanese people express “baby.”
The Red String
Thread of Lover's Destiny / Fate
This literally translates as “the red string” or “the red thread” in Japanese, but the real meaning is much deeper...
In Japanese culture, it's believed that fate, destiny, or karma joins lovers by an unseen string, tied around one little finger of each. 赤い糸 is how soul mates find and are drawn to each other.
The Japanese concept of the red thread of fate, by most estimations, comes from Chinese folklore, where it's known as 姻緣紅線. The only difference is that in China, the celestial red thread is tied around the ankles of the lovers (versus what is usually represented as the pinky finger in Japan).
Meritxell
梅莉赤爾 is the transliteration to Mandarin Chinese for the Latin / Spanish name Meritxell.
Equatorial Guinea
赤道幾內亞 is Equatorial Guinea in Chinese (Mandarin).
