Details are always very helpful when answering -- since the answers can vary
depending on where in the process she is, exactly... What is the name?

If it has not yet been ruled on by Kingdom, then it can still be withdrawn.
Have her send an email to Asterisk and Bordure both with the request.
If it has not yet been ruled on by Laurel (not kingdom), then it can
probably still be withdrawn. She'll need to send an email to Bordure with
the request, so I can get the withdrawal notice put on the next Letter of
Intent.

Yes, as long as she does so within 2 years.

Look on the name form, and you'll see checkboxes for "Name change", and then
more (yay!) for what to do with the currently name (keep it as an alternate
name, or release it entirely). It'll be another $9 since otherwise this is a
'new' action.

It's always nice to send stuff up at exactly the same time, or spaced three
months apart, due to filing issues on the back end. Trust me. :)
