Historical Background

While not so much historical in manner, the character "She" was named after the protagionist in Henry Rider Haggard's "She" written in 1887.

It recounts the adventures of an expedition to an unexplored part of East Africa, where they find Ayesha, a beautiful and apparently immortal sorceress, who claims the expedition's leader as the reincarnation of her long-dead beloved. (Haggard gives a phonetic rendering of “Ayesha” as “assha”.) She had become ageless and perfectly beautiful more than 2 millennia earlier by immersing herself in a magic flame; she presses the expedition leader now to immerse himself as well.

Explination of the title is thus: it is short for "She Who Must Be Obeyed", which is a translation of the Arabic honorific used for Ayesha by an local tribe whom she has enslaved in the book.

The book's character was supposedly inspired by the Balobedu Rain Queen Masalanabo Modjadji. Carl Jung, who admired Haggard's myth-making powers, used "She" to illustrate his concept of the anima. (1)

Also she came up in the FFXI "Random Name Generator", and as seeing the name from one of the player's childhood stories, imediantly was chosen
