I think Icara should be the one. Its simple, its sexy and it has a mythological signifigance about it.

Well the book was orginally called the "Icarrus Imperative" because she was orginally named Ilsa Karras, but my editor helped me make changes there.

Sometime it would helps tell you to name your character after draw few rough sketches. I learn this most valuable advice from my wife. So I rough sketches of my character, stare at it for while and told me whats her name gone to be. I hope this advice help you in future.

This is normally my process. Often times I'll have the image long before I have the name (and sometimes even the story), but as this is a special case with it being a contest entry to be drawn by some one else, that process does not apply.

Ah I see.

I was going to say much the same thing Bluepencil did.

I hadn't named the main villain of my series until I had reached issue #14... of course that was a little extreme.

Thank you all for your help!
