Editor Name Poll - The Haven Herald
🕑 Added 2023-03-09 18:00:04 +0000 UTCHi 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!)

Cornelia is great too! There's always been something about that name that seemed great for an antagonist, imo!

What about the Candid Canard? Or maybe the Sibylline Circulator...
