PUGGY'S HILL

I am back at the Undisclosed Location (housesitting for friends in Western Mass.) where I so happily wrote large chunks of The Privilege of the Sword. I am blissfully happy - and doing as little Social Networking (or even email) as possible, while I work on New Novel. I am a Creature of Extremes.

However, I need your help:

A teenage girl in my Riverside city. She is very tall, thin, and has reddish hair. Spending her "sub-Deb[utante]" year with the other noble girls, learning to be a young lady. They give her an unflattering nickname (eta) mostly referring to her height - (though, as you know, mean girls will seize on anything to augment that). I can only think of "Beanpole" - do you have anything better, either from personal experience or a cleverer mind? (I know that Delia, who was the tallest girl in her class, was called "String" - but that was partly from her name, Cordelia = Cordie = String. My girl's name is Jessica.)

ETA: Also, taunts for tall people (like the one Kat Langrish added in Comments: "How's the weather up there?")

Thanks!

And if you were so taunted, I hope you've lived to laugh in all their faces!
