I could be wrong though, but I'll give a shot.
Water Wolf : 水狼（すいろう）, Suirou
Note: 水の狼（みずのおおかみ）, Mizu no Ookami is also possible, 'though this one sounds a bit weird.
Mysterious Tiger : 謎の虎（トラ）, Nazo no Tora
Sensitive Artist : 敏感（びんがん）な美術家（びじゅつか）, Binkan na Bijutsuka
Water Heart : 水の心（みずのこころ）, Mizu no Kokoro
Note: 水心 (Suishin) means something else (middle of a body of water.) instead. It can also be read as Mizugokoro, in which case it means "ability to swim". The "Mizugokoro" reading also occurs in the proverb "魚心あれば水心" (Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours.)
Summer Star : 夏星（きらり、かせい、なつぼし）, Kirari/Kasei/Natsuboshi
Note: Kirari and Kasei are both actual female names with the kanji meaning "Summer Star", while Natsuboshi would refer to an actual star(s) instead.
Wild Spirit
自生の魂（じせいのたましい）, Jisei no Tamashii
野生の気力（やせいのきりょく）, Yasei no Kiryoku
自生 means "wild" as in "natural", like "wild roses", while 野生 means "wild" as in "animalistic", like "wild tiger", or "crazy wild men".

Hey just a couple of questions, how common would it be to use rou for wolf when in a compound such as suiroi, and am I right in thinking that ookami isn't used half as much as the fans who spam the word seem to think and that katakana ウルフ is much more commonly accepted now?
Also is ther any reason you wouldn't use な in place of の for the above, I guess it is like tiger of mystery right?
