Zenobia is mentioned twice (in conversation and on pdf). Zenobia is an actual consulting firm, specializing in industrial/organizational psychology, neurolinguistics programming, personal coaching, and intuitive development, all things for which the fictional Wendy Rhoades is qualified to do. The term itself is based on the 3rd century queen of Palmyra whose reign was exemplified by an intellectually and philosophically multicultural and multi-ethnic society.
