Editor Name Poll - The Haven Herald

Added 2023-03-09 18:00:04 +0000 UTC

Hi guys, up until now I've just been thinking of the writer of Haven's newspaper, the Haven Herald, as "the Editor," but I realized I've actually given her a name before: Kortela Coronus! However, I'm not entirely convinced of this name, so I thought I'd open it up to your guys' feedback. If you've read the newspaper on your days off at all, you know that she's a bit... "prejudiced" is a nice way of putting it, "abrasive, inflammatory muckraker" might be a harsher one. She's a vocal critic of the Shepherds and is your typical pretentious, nosy middle-class citizen who has a not-so-subtle condescension towards Diminished people, though she does a decent job of reporting non-Shepherds-related news with a good amount of coverage and accuracy. So she's not totally corrupt, just opinionated and small-minded in her views (but also incredibly hardworking). I think of her as sort of self-righteous, like a hypocritical churchgoer who seems holier-than-thou in public but who also spreads malicious gossip and judgment about others (particularly "non-believers" or "heathens") without even realizing the contradiction between her beliefs and her own behavior. I think of her as having dark hair put back in a bun, a stark, bony, bird-like face with a large nose and narrow, beady eyes and a defiant jut to her chin. Any ideas on a good name for her?

(Also, if you think of any good titles for your neighborhood gossip column [Rumor Has It? Pearls Before Swine? The Social Sleuth? The Gilded Cage? The Secret Songbird?], please leave them in the comments below!)
