Secret Roadways The SP gave us yellowbrickroad and lookingglass.
These are both pathways, if you will, to adventures in children's literature, where the protagonist is a girl...and we know that SP likes that.
The yellow brick road from "The Wizard of Oz"...with Dorothy as the main character. Looking glass from "Alice Through the Looking Glass".... with Alice.
(I suspect the above is already posted somewhere, but this next part probably isn't.)
Taking the first letter of the characters names, gives D-A.
Maybe the beginning of DAna.
Maybe the beginning of DAncing robots.

so what's next? are there any other CLASSIC stories about little girls getting whisked away to imaginary lands? (there was Labyrinth in the 80's, but if the SP references an 80's movie, i'll eat my keyboard (TMNT not withstanding, that was sent to her))
Peter Pan? (more than just one little girl, her brothers went too, but still) should we look for secondstartotheright.html next?
edit: clarification... that's what i meant, but i can see where the confusion would come from

Actually, no - Wendy was the only girl. Brothers Peter and Michael. Peter. The rest were the Lost Boys. And the pirates. Of course there were some other girls on the island (the Indian girl for sure).
But if you're looking for a properly brought-up girl tossed into dangerous waters, that's certainly a good choice....

Most of Disney's fare. Cinderella, Mulan, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast....
...yes, I'll be sending SP some more anime fanfiction. There's only so much of Eisner's empire I can take, and most of it is taken up by ESPN.

Or the second A could be A riel from the Little Mermaid, mentioned above. Can't think of any for N though.

This website list the meaning of names:
http://www.behindthename.com/
It lists the meaning of Perdita as:
PERDITA f
Usage: English
Derived from Latin perditus meaning "lost". Shakespeare created this name for the daughter of Hermione in his play 'The Winter's Tale'.
Just thought it might be interesting to note as it fits with your previous 'lost girl' concept.
Could it be that she was left behind a long time ago? Perhaps she was left on Earth before humans existed. She would exist in our time as well as in the future. Buried maybe?

the pattern still seems to be way/roads athough eaten way is a bit of a stretch even for a pun ... beaten path ... beaten==eaten ... path == way ... and the gretel pretty solidly puts down the spelling of dana... so it's back to specking

humm... Path to Earth i like it since durga/melissa is from a space craft that crashed from a "slipstream" (ST:Voyager?) inside lunar orbit... any way i doubt the hidden pages are put up before the clues are placed. Since someone using firefox found the page quickly after but not before the clues were avalible.
