Constance "Sheila" Walker, Consul from Australia to Fenspace. Mid 40s, looks like either a 23-year-old bikini model or surfing instructor, she was in fact one of the first 'Dane patients to be treated by emergency biomod, gaining a minor youthening and the metabolism to let her eat what she wants and not gain an ounce. Was originally a minor functionary for Brisbane's chamber of commerce, and was one of the early voices of reason in regards to "AIEEE! WAVE TECH = TERRORISTS!" She picked up her nickname when some rambunctious ex-pat American Fen were joking around at a dinner after a council meeting with Paul Hogan and Steve Irwin impressions interspersed with Monty Python quotes. Essentially, when she walked into a room, everyone went "G'day, Sheila!" simultaneously. It became a running gag at the various meetings, and when her fellow Aussies joined in, she was stuck with it.
Vulpine Fury will attend in person, dressed relatively soberly in a black suit with a "death of Superman" armband, as he is still mourning the loss of Karen Sorrell in some of the last fighting of OGJ. He is accompanied by his first and only successful android, R. Lime El-Zhe [Think Saber Marionette J's Lime], who is concerned because "Daddy's been sad since Mommy died."
The gift VF and Lime give will be tasteful, appropriate, and have SOME humor to it. [I'm drawing a blank, as VF knows the couple WAY better than I do
