This week has been designated "Superhero Week" on Twitter. I'm not sure by who but it seems to have originated from now RL ("real life" aka person I have met in person) friend samlawrence, the CMO of Jive Software.

For those who have yet to jump into the addiction that is Twitter, it'll be hard to explain why there are weekly themes such as Superhero Week. I'll save that for another post. In the meantime you can read @jkuramot's post on OracleApps or check out the hashtag page for #supers on Twitter.

This post is just something to link to so I can stop tweeting on who the green haired avatar is and why I chose her.

Who The Green Haired Avatar Is

The green haired avatar is an anime character from the Robotech cartoon series in the 80's that I totally worshipped as a little girl. Her name is Miriya and she was an original bad ass geek girl fighter pilot who was Ace of the Zentraedi Elite Forces, Captain of the Quadrano Squadron. As described from the Robotech site:

The ace of the Zentraedi Forces, Miriya is a fearsome warrior who piloted the Zentraedi Power Armor. Upon discovering the combat talents of Max Sterling, Miriya takes it upon herself to hunt him down, but finds herself frustrated by the "micronian" ace in combat. Miriya infiltrates the SDF-1 to challenge Max and regain her honor but finds herself humiliated in a video game duel against him tries to kill him in a knife fight. Beaten for a last time, she suddenly finds herself in love and marries him in a historic wedding that unites the humans and the Zentraedi. Miriya sticks by Max's side through the war and helps rebuild Earth from the ashes left by Dolza's fleet.

and here's how she used to kick butt on tv...

...and that is why I am a green haired avatar on Twitter this week. =)
