How would this be different from The Activist? The latter is currently
described as:

     The Activist would like to comment anonymously on the Internet and
     not link her personal accounts to her activism work. She would like
     to use Tor to achieve this.

“User” is way to generic to be useful as a persona. I am a Tor user.
Yet, most folks would not understand the technical language I am able to
grasp.

We might be missing “The Stalking Victim”, though. How would different
would she be The Student or The Dissident?
