The "nun" is commonly called the unicorn in 3d games, and I think it's reasonable to extend that name into 4d games.  (Do you have a good reference for the name "balloon"?  I've only ever seen it called that in one place.)

The initial setup is interesting; all the pawns are protected--many of them by the army of balloons--and they smother many of the initial lines.

I don't completely understand the pawn movements.
