the character lives in medieval times and is like a feminist of that age. she is the mother of the main character and has flaming red hair and brilliant green eyes. she rides astride (not side-sadle) and refuses to remarry (a big deal back then). she weilds a sword and fights as well as a man. what is a name to use that is not at all girlie and as fierce as the character? made up names are best to fit with the time period. thanks for the help...
