Trivia

 * Dawson Casting:
 * By the time the first game was launched, in contrast with Kitrina, then voiced by a child actress, her best friend Gayle was voiced by a 32-year-old Kath Soucie while her other friend (later love interest) Tristan was voiced by a 33-year-old Charlie Schlatter.
 * Mae Whitman would fall on this as well in later installments.
 * In 2005's The Shark Prince, Isaiah, who is around the same age as Kitrina, is voiced by a then 34-year-old Yuri Lowenthal.
 * God Does Not Own This World: legally, all the characters and concepts of the series belong to Warner Bros. and not to its creators.
 * Playing Against Type: Jodi Benson, better known for voicing the kind and curious Ariel from The Little Mermaid, voices the evil Lilia, herself the series' big bad.
 * Rule 34 - Creator Reactions:
 * Both of the creators found the adult fanfiction and art of their characters to be "disturbing".
 * When they discovered that Stella McDonnell did some as well, they weren't too happy and talked to her about this and said "we all have different opinions and I just believe differently on this".
 * The worst reaction about it comes from Warner Bros. itself, since its lawyers already sent some Cease and Desist orders to some of those artists and writers for copyright infringement.
 * What Could Have Been: TBD

YMMV

 * Fans of the series are often divided if Gayle is a lovable friend or an annoying sidekick.
 * Ensemble Dark Horse:
 * Gayle quickly became a fan favorite thanks to both her looks and mix of stupidity and smartness.
 * Both Anna and Flora TBD.
 * After her design was revealed, Jewel quickly became TBD.
