Creation and Usage Notes

There's really no story behind the creation of the word Heda. I saw that a season 2 script needed a word for "commander", and I thought for a moment about what English words might serve that didn't sound like "commander", and after a moment I thought of "head", and then added "-er" to fill it out. It seemed to work out okay. (Note: I didn't connect it to Hedda Gabler at the time, though I had seen the play years prior.) -David J. Peterson 23:27, 12 February 2020 (PST)
