#2: Initial revision
In my current story, a kind of spy girl has name A, but at various times goes by B, C, D, and E. I always refer to her as A in prose, and other characters call her by whatever alias she is using at the time. > "Nice to meet you, Betty," Joe said, extending a hand. > > Alice took his hand and gave it firm single shake. "Likewise, Joe. Shall we get to work?" I prefer this to reinforce for the reader that A is constantly aware she is playing a role and always deceiving everyone around her, even if she winds up in some intimate situation with one of them.
