Character Naming.
I am writing/drawing a comic book or graphic novel. Depends on how many pages it turns out as hahaha...
Anyway, the main character is a 20 year old woman, and she's a superhero. Not with actual super powers, per se, but she's got superhuman strength, pain capacity, stamina, healing, those kinda things. Imagine Buffy from Buffy the vampire slayer, but dumb. (that's her shortcoming. her brother has all the smarts and none of the hench. haha.)
anyway, i started off with the name StickGirl, being a psuedonym of mine, which no one would associate with me (except one person, but she doesn't count) because the character was 16. the only problem is, shes 20 now, a woman not a girl, and superheroes being called -man and -girl is kinda sexist and i dont wanna do that.
so i thought about it, and the character wears black and stuff, i could call her shadow, which would make it more interesting...
but im torn between the two; neither feels right yet.
