I was wondering similar questions about our strange protagonist. Obviously you will be explaining what rebirther means later...

Is the picture a good likeness of what she looks like?

a. I try to avoid exposition dumps. Patience is a virtue, etc.

b. That's meant to be Bosun. I now definitely think it's best that readers conjure up their own idea of what the main characters look like! But I might stick up one or two of the mood boards I used when the story eventually draws to a close.

Thanks for the clarification on the pic - I would've been somewhat bemused tbh if you'd said that was her. She doesn't look anything like that in my mind.

Yeah, exposition dumps are never a good idea. Drip-feed, that's the thing. Get them addicted. First fix for free etc.

You have spotted my Baldrick-level cunning plan... 😋

Obviously this is isn't season one era Baldrick, in which he was the intelligent one and Blackadder was the epsilon semi-moron...

No. Please refrain from any Hong Kong Phooey + Spot the Cat analogies.
