Name That Judge #13 (Last One)

This judge has been correctly named! See the comments for the answer. Thanks for playing everyone!

It should be getting easier as more names are crossed off. This judge has not been put forth as a guess in any post yet.

Ready for another of our little game of Name that Judge? Let's see if this one goes as quickly. There are 34 Query Kombat judges and all are agented or published writers with experience in this business.

Some have agreed to join me and give away a prize to whoever guesses their nickname. You can find their bios at Mike's blog, SC's blog, and my blog. (No, I'm not providing the links. Where's the fun in that? But look in the May archive.) I will provide the list of judge names. Guessed judges are marked off.

Writes MG fantasy
First year QK judge
Used "just" 138 times in recent WIP before revising
Twitter homepage contains a relative

First one to correctly name this judge wins a first chapter critique. I'll put a time limit of five days on this, but hopefully we won't need to worry about such things.

Other rules. Let's see...

You may enter more than one Name That Judge post. You may only guess once on each post. You must leave a way to reach you--twitter handle or email address.

This judge's nickname was Romida Vane. And they have provided a few hints:

Romilda Vane is, clearly, obsessed with Harry Potter. She comes by magical tendencies the old-fashioned way, having grown up near Salem on the land of an accused witch. She writes very quirky YA and NA and won one of the categories in last year's Query Kombat contest.

This judge's nickname was Princess Buttercup. And they have provided a few hints:

1. I have a deep and abiding love for the word "y'all."

3. I have an excellent ear for the MG voice because I spend nine months out of the year with, you guessed it, middle graders.
