... the question should become whether EB would be Lestrade or Gregson. After all, he was a Town Inspector for some time there ...
"Sonuna" Taranimak ("Sonuna" Sharkquill) has been content lately. She admired own very fine Bed recently. She talked with a parent recently. She talked with a friend recently. She had a good meal recently. She admired a fine tastefully-arranged Desk recently. She is a citizen of The United States of America. She is a member of The State of Minnesota. She is a member of The Town of Odyssey. "Sonuna" Taranimak likes Bauxite, Copper, Green jade, the color navy, cloaks, ballistas, cats for their aloofness and hydras for their seven heads. When possible, she prefers to consume Dr Pepper and ramen.
She lives at a relaxed pace. She tends to avoid crowds. She has a fertile imagination. She is completely disorganized. She is very distant and reserved. She tends not to openly express emotions. She needs caffeine to get through the working day.

Or is this all a joke. Given the name, I would have assumed the male gender.
I got scolded many times over for having "Continental Admiral" as my name, and yet, here, people get away with even worse.
"Admiral" is gender neutral.
(Though, granted, most would initially assume it to be a male association).
I must embarrassingly admit that, during my early days at the Th, I assumed both Catspaw and the Continental Admiral were guys.
Catspaw, being a guy, obviously has full reason to adore Han Solo/Harrison Ford fullheartedly.
I mean, it just makes sense...
Well, her TH avatar of Han Solo game me the impression that she was a guy. Same goes for CA too hehe.
I used to think that CA was a guy, too, and I saw somebody refer to her as Jessica and I thought they were kidding. But I was never confused about Catspaw. To be honest, I never even considered the way that my name was potentially confusing, and since I see Han Solo as the figure of awesomeness in that "man, does Harrison Ford ever look good! " kind of way, I didn't realize how my avatar might reinforce somebody's misconceptions.

Lestrson.
Or Gregade. Which is like a grenade, but more 'Greg' ish.
Okay, let's try to get a gregade in the church, guys.

But if that still doesn't serve to clear up the conundrum, perhaps I might offer this as an alternative?

That can be easily solved. Said individuals are some of the more notable characters in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes" mysteries. Professor Moriary was Holme's archnemisis and, as Holmes put it, "The Napoleon of Crime". Inspector Lestrade was a local constible (who, I believe was later promoted). He worked with Holmes in many of his adventures - the latter often commenting on Lestrade's lack of deductive capacity.
Finally, Irene Adler shows up in "A Scandal In Bohemia" and is known and referred to by Holmes simply as "The Woman". She is one of the very few characters in the series to have successfully outsmarted the Great Detective.
And that, I'm afraid, was the annotated version. But you get the idea.

I know more about that second link that then the first one. Though that is a unique way of offering hints to your true identity, and the picture is all wrong.

I see - I should have guessed that was where the names were from! Thanks for the explanation - I am now enlightened!
See, what gave it away was the avatar. I found the similar styles kind of unnervingly deja vu-esque. And of course, the location of our own Sherlock Holmes allowed me to connect two and two together.
they may be copper,
annoying little coins! but,
they might be giants.
I've known who Sherlock Holmes is since she joined.
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance. ♡

Unfortunately, I can't provide you with any more witty palindromes, but I can lurk around and act mysterious which, I suppose, will have to suffice.
As for the avatar, I'm not sure what you mean, as, to the best of my knowledge, this is the only one I have thus far had at the ToO.

I think Sarai believes that the one you have here is of a similar style to the other board where I had met you previous to this.

Me too. For some of the same reasons as Sarai. And... looking at an old post that gave it away.
