Trillian is a young lady and brilliant astrophysicist whom Arthur Dent completely
failed to chat up at a party at a flat (possibly above an Estate Agent's) in Islington. Arthur was fairly certain she was
a young lady, but at the time was totally unaware of her academic qualifications. The trilogy later reveals that Trillian
eventually left the party with an alien by the name of Zaphod Beeblebrox, who (according to the Quintessential Phase) is directly
responsible for her nickname. The next time she and Arthur meet is on a spaceship in deep space, six months after the aforementioned
party and shortly after the Earth has been destroyed to make way for a hyperspace bypass.
