Nellie Bly

Nellie Bly (1867-1922), given name Elizabeth Cochrane, a journalist, muckracker and social activist of the late 19th century working for Mr. Pulitzer at the World.

She'd volunteered to be on Nikola Tesla's rescue mission to Mars in Martian Dreams. When the Avatar talked with her, she told the hero of her recent uncovering of the scandal at Blackwell's Island Asylum for Women, where she'd managed to get lots of intel by committing herself.

She also had her own opinion of the other expedition members. She thought of Tesla as a genius, Sigmund Freud reminded her disturbingly of the doctors in the asylum, was glad that Dr. C.L. Blood was on the expedition, and knew only little of Dallas Garrett.

During the adventure, she had her notebook, with which she took all the important notes, so that nothing of importance would be forgotten.
