Ah, gotcha. I don't think that Mucho's Trillium offers much to talk
about anyway. She's a barely mentioned character.

I do think that both are quite romantic visions of an idealised woman,
though, as least to Zoyd and Doc.

Doc gets weirdly infatuated with Trillium and one of the last things
he does in the novel is to hunt down her whereabouts on the net. I
found it strange that a relatively minor character who only appears
quite late assumes this sort of importance. Touch of the Cyprian
Latewood, mayhaps.
