Maïa's name: addendum

I nearly forgot: Maïa has another, honorary name.

Ookpik is an Inuit name given to her when she was about 5 or 6 months old by an Inuit friend of Derek's. It means "snowy owl." I find it very fitting, given her seeming wisdom and her alabaster skin. Interestingly, it is the official bird of Québec.
