More like the Conan chick ... she's a Marine, after all!

I have a set of stories where the women are all named for trees. In a related family, the women are all named for flowers; hence, Valerian, Rosetta, Rue, et al.

I dunno ... maybe I should change her name to Veronica --- that means "fidelity."

Oh, yeah ... it's Veronica Peppers now!

Thanks, G'nad!
