Current Staff
Daiyu came from the UK where she studied at a prestigious university before ending up at Columtreal. Majoring in journalism she interned with the Hathian Observer before being asked by the owner to assume the editor role over content in the City; interns are cheap, even if they’re the editor. Still studying she hopes to improve the paper, Hathian and herself through honest journalism with an investigative streak to it.

Jordyn is the Observer’s newest food critic and culinary writer (A rarity in Hathian!).
Former professional chef with over a decade in the kitchen, now turning a seasoned palate and insider’s perspective toward food criticism. I bring a behind-the-line understanding of technique, sourcing, and flavour balance.

Rating Philosophy:
Combines taste, presentation, service, and atmosphere, but always centered on the authenticity and emotional impact of the meal. Believes that food should tell a story—and good stories deserve to be shared.
Fresh off the graduation stage at Missouri State University, Aithne holds a degree in journalism, but found it not much of a shield against the ‘Great AI Purge’ sweeping the media landscape. Her familiar Missouri world offered little refuge for a new journalist hungry for real stories. The relentless search led her far from home, transplanting her into the heart of Hathian, Louisiana and onto the staff of the Observer – one of the few places, it seemed, where human investigation still mattered.
Truth is Aithne’s guiding principle; her anchor in this new city. She pursues it with a tenacity that belies her suburban roots, a world deliberately sheltered from the grit and decay now navigated daily.
You’ll spot her frequently at the Observer, naturally. But just as often, she’s deep in thought or conversation at The Pie Hole or The Grind, her tablet aglow, coffee perpetually within reach. She’s the one leaning in, listening, always ready for the next story.
