I guess I would just be a female Crotalus. If my user name had to reflect the feminine gender, I would probably choose Vipera. ---

Is this what we would choose now, or what we would have chosen at the time we chose our current-gendered username? Because there are several literary characters that I know and appreciate now but whom I hadn’t read, or in some cases hadn’t even been written, back then. ---
