INTERESTING WORDS NEEDED
So I need words for a personal challenge that I'm writing on the YWP NaNoWriMo site, and all the characters are ghosts with words that described how they died, along with what they look like. I only have the two MCs figured out right now, so I guess that's all you have to go by. So it can't be a "traditional" noun, meaning an actual person, place, or thing. It shouyld be symbolic or an adjective. Here are my two characters so far:
Cycle
Valor
So yeah. HAVE AT THEE!!!

Erm, well, I want to help, but the only interesting word I can think up at the moment is 'valedictorian'? It's kinda a mouthful, though.

I really like the word 'Somnambulist'. It means someone who walks in their sleep. I guess someone could be sleep-walking and die accidentally? Idk
I was also going to suggest 'Coddiwomple', but I doubt someone could die from coddiwomple-ing.

Cockleburr, I drew your suggestions--they were just so evocative. Ooh, evocation! There's another one!

Obsequious. It means willing, or even eager to serve.
