Jasika Cole is all sorts of awesome. She's so beautiful, and, well, internally well-lit. I love her tumblr. It's the only celeb-run tumblr I follow.
Slay-er? Chosen One. She who hangs out a lot in cemeteries? You're kidding. Ask around. Look it up: Slayer comma The.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Jasika
I hope this is a non-English variant spelling, rather than simply a creative one.
(And before anyone calls me a hypocrite, my daughter has a perfectly normal Sebacean name, thankyouverymuch. It's not her fault she wasn't born into a sci-fi universe.)

Ha, Jessica!
Is Jasika pronounced Jessica?

You're assuming her name isn't pronounced like it's spelt? That never occurred to me.

Yeah, the purists are not going to give you any slack on that.

Well, to me it looks like it would rhyme with "lass" or "jazz" in the first syllable, instead of "less." And the "i" could sound like a long "e." I've never heard it pronounced, but my first attempt at that would probably be Jazzicka. Does everyone else really see "Jessica" there?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I always assumed it was pronounced like it looks. Jas-i-ka. Like "classical" with a J and without an L.

I'm reading it phonetically and hearing my name. How is it supposed to be said?

When I read it phonetically, I get ja-sica, not je-sica. But in absence of actual information, I default to how it looks.

In my extensive two-minute research on the internet, which is never wrong, I found three whole random sources that tell me her name is pronounced Jah-SEE-ka, emphasis on the i as a long e sound.
In short, all of our guesses were wrong. She remains awesome, though. As do we.
