As properly written in English the name should read Aya-ko, I know several Japanese woman with names like Omi and Tomo but spelled their names as Omi-ko and Tomo-ko.

Actually it's more like Anne at the end of Jo-Anne, it feminizes the name

Ah well.


No, definitely not the only one. I get the feeling, but I don't thing RFC would telegraph something like that, so I don't count it as probable. :shrug:

She does give off a vibe, yes. As a competent, intelligent and highly dangerous woman.

However the thing that makes it unlikely for me is that we are talking DW as author.

The abused, mistreated and raped turning on their tormentors and turning out to be competent and highly dangerous - making the tormentors 'reap what they have sown' is one of his favourite themes.
That's why I think it more likely he is playing this game here again.

But I like your idea. It would be cool if she turned out to be an infiltrator.

Something worth noting.

This may not be RFC's style, but the question is, is it Eric Flints?
