According to the review, she's still a redhead and "goes locally by the name of Brigit." That's a dead giveaway for fans of the Firefly series, given that Brigit is the name she used when she "married" Mal's friend Monty (in the episode "Trash.") I have to assume that the writers expected a glimmer of recognition from players, especially once the PCs realize how many schemes Brigit the schoolmarm has going.

"YoSaffBridg" is the derisive nickname Mal uses for her later in the same episode, referring to her many aliases (Yolanda, Saffron, Bridget), and is frequently used by fans of the show since we don't know what her real name is.
