As an aside, my supervisor for my summer job decided to go in a unique direction after her divorce. Rather than reclaim her maiden name, she chose a last name that, when combined with her first name, is pronounced the same as a well-known mountain range in the US (though her first name is spelled differently, it's pronounced the same as the first part of the range).

Can't decide if Sarah Nevada or Katherine Skill.

Because we do not see the contributions from others in the group, this storyline is all about Arthur. The others are just fillers. Now, who is Arthur? He looks open and supportive, but that could just be his professional appearance. In private, he could be a creep. Of course, it would be deeply unprofessional for Arthur to take advantage of Jane in her vulnerable state, but you never know what Jeph is planning.
I am disliking Arthur already :grumpypuss:

It depends on exactly what's going on in Jeph's twisty brain right now. Personally, I would consider it unethical to approach one of the group members romantically. So, Arthur + 'Jane' is unlikely unless Jeph wants to write Arthur struggling with his professional ethics vs. his attraction.
My favourite idea is that, as 'Abyssinia' isn't a group member, per se and he admires the loyal friendship she is showing with 'Jane', Arthur tries to start a romantic relationship with her. This idea is the origin of my comments yesterday about Hannelore having an identity crisis or starting to live a lie to the point she has a difficulty finding her way back to the truth. I'm thinking that she's interested in turn and manages to suppress her anxieties by telling herself that those are Hannelore's fears, not Abyssinia's.
I'm not saying that she'd go MPD but I think it would be interesting if she starts liking Abby's life more than she likes Hanners' life.
Anyway, back to topic, I'd say that Jeph would be stretching credibility a bit if he tries to have Arthur be anything but a supporter, counsellor and friend to 'Jane'.
TinPenguin:
For a moment, in panel four, I thought she meant Marten and she was starting this story a looong way back. But that notion was rapidly dispelled.
It is true to say, though, that she could start this story further back. She has had a bad relationship with alcohol for a while. But I suppose that's like starting to explain a car crash by describing your first driving lesson.

Re: Alternate/new identities. I am on thin ice here, but I imagine it might help to distance yourself from the problems you have in your life. Has there been any research on this? Do some people change their name just for this reason?
