Space Princess

News From Inside My Head:

I have, finally, after a couple of years, named the character I have been referring to as “the Princess.”

Her name is now Zubeda.

I realize this means nothing to you people, and probably won’t until I, y’know, write her book, but after a whole bunch of character development and finding a place where she fit in the story universe, the name Princess Zoob is so perfect that I swear the Legend of Zelda Patented Dopamine Surge Fanfare rang when I came up with it. I love it when that happens.

Ah! That explains it. Swahili has a lot of Arabic influence--same root, different spelling.

And I honestly am glad you pointed it out. :)
