Hello, my friends. And my total strangers.

[ Those are the only two options. Enemies are for other people. Unless someone considers anyone with an Orlesian accent—and not even a particularly noble one, from the vowels—to be an enemy. Or maybe anyone who sounds too pleasant on a Sunday morning. In that case: swords at dawn. ]

I was thinking about how many popular heroes have a sobriquet. The Black Fox, now the Black Hart. The Nightingale.

Now that I am saying them aloud, they are mostly animals.

Setting aside how arrogant it would be to give one to yourself. If you could choose a pretentious epithet for the history books, or one for your friends—

It does not have to be an animal.

[ Yes it does. ]

Someone should be The Feisty Toad. It's simply too good to not be used.

[rathercommon]

What on earth's a - so-bee-kett?

[shri]

My enemies liked to call me 'that wretched bitch', if that counts.

[ She's got a few, the playwrites, they got creative. ]

[swordproof]

A friend of mine enjoyed ravens. I'm not sure that he would have chosen to be named for them, however.

[bouchonne]

For you, I think - 'the fuzzy caterpillar.'

[writteninblood]

There's a few old stories about ravens and twins. I wouldn't mind something like that.

[triamour]

Always with black, it is so dreary!

[coquettish_trees]

I shall be... [ with proper gravity: ] the Crystal Merlin.

[ You know. Hunts in a ladylike fashion, murderous, temperamental, scintillates in the light, makes a nice sound when you run a wet finger over it.

...eminently shatterable if one knows where to hit it. ]

[thorndergod]

You have not said what you would give yourself. But I would choose the Golden Hammer.

[chainlightning]

A friend of mine calls me 'Daisy'. Does that count?
