[Fictionary] Second try at a new word

[Jim Moskowitz]

Several people knew hoyden (n.  A high-spirited, boisterous, or saucy 
girl. / adj. High-spirited; boisterous.), so that's out. I'm glad to 
learn there's a positive-connotation word for a protagonisty female, 
even if it apparently also gets used to mean 'hussy'.  Use it widely, 
and emphasize its positive aspects!

Let's try HYETAL.  Does anyone already know that one?

(Can you tell which section of the dictionary I was browsing through?)
