AH!! THE SHIRT IS BACK!!! AND IT IS CLAD ON A WOMANS!!!

So now we meet the “Trailer Park Genius” as I sometimes call her. Her name is “Gnosha”, and her name was actually pretty clever in how it is derived from “Gnosis”, the Latin term for Knowledge, and is exotic and strange to boot! I think I can understand why people like using Japanese names in their comics, sometimes: It's because they don't carry the baggage that names they are more familiar with tend to have. Heck, the Japanese give their characters foreign names all the time, right?

However, as with her parents in canon and with me, the name “Gnosha” was found by flipping through a baby name book with my eyes closed and slamming my finger down.
