Listen up, DC. I'm a fan. That means I obsess about detail. So, you know, all that hand-waving you did about Lady Shiva Woosan's background? Yeah. I noticed.

Did you read the big barrel of WTF that was Dixon's 12 issue Richard Dragon run?

I ask because I'm suffering from a Shiva-related headache at the moment as a result.

Erm no. But you don't make it sound like I want to.

Sandra is her actual, legal name? That's --

DC, jeez, I know you tend to make up stuff as you go alone, but that's even dumber than making her handwave-Asian and calling her Shiva.

I could -- kind of -- go with "Sandra is her English name," so it was sort of an alias that she adopted as a child because English speakers have trouble with her real name.

You could make a case for "she tells anglos that her name is Sandra, because it's easier for them to say." But a) not so much, and b)Carolyn also has an English name and no other and c) DC occasionally in secret histories and origins type things actually refers to her as a Sandra.

I'll be over here making annoyed anime smileys now. Jeez, DC. Way to completely shoot the mysterious Asian woman thing in the knee.
