Name that line!

[ffutures]

I just realised that I don't have any named female characters in The Original Flatland Role Playing Game. Not entirely surprising, given their rather limited status in the setting, but I might as well give a name to the big cutout figure. Here's her picture:



Lovely, isn't she...

My first thought was Linda Linear, and make her a relative of another character I have with that surname, but I think I'd prefer something else. Any suggestions?

Linnea Strang (Or String, I suppose).

Not mad keen on either, I'm afraid.

Vectoria?

Oh, I like that one - many thanks! Any thoughts on a surname?

Vectoria Norm? I see the topic goes on to discuss families of semi-norms...

I googled Victoria and brainstormed off the results, but nothing compelling came to mind.

I've just remembered that the heroine of Ian Stewart's "Flatterland" is Victoria Line (her great-grandad, needless to say, is Albert Square), which makes me a little reluctant to use Vectoria after all. Any other suggestions?

Bah, and I spent the commute home thinking up Vectoria Value! :)

How about Lotte Linear then?

It's not bad - the best I've come up with so far is Linear Lang, which doesn't have quite the same ring. Lotte Linear it is then.

Okay, I've given her the new name and mentioned her as an adopted daughter in the adventure in which the plutocrat Hex Linear (owner of Hexcorp) appears.

Flatland Illustrations

Hi! We are doing an annotated version of Flatland. I Liked Linda Linear and wonder if you'd like to do 5 - 10 other illustations. We are self-publishing and cannot pay unless there's demand for a second printing. But I can prominently place your name and contact information as "illustrator".
