- Daisy from the TV series also has these.

Playing Against Type: Mark Hamill as Fluke (the hero), even if Luke Skywalker is his most iconic role aside from the Joker.
Rule 34 - Creator Reactions: Diane has admitted to have seen "icky stuff" across the internet featuring her characters, mainly Anna. She limited to reply "nothing against it, but it sorta weirds me out. But hey, it's the Internet after all and I've seen worse than that".
- When she discovered that Stella McDonnell did some, she drew a short comic with Charlotte doing "secret stuff". She also added a comment saying "Stella, I know it's your stuff, but couldn't you keep them private?".
What Could Have Been:
- While Fluke was in production, Diane tweeted that she originally planned Anna to be either a regular college student or a fry cook at a fast food restaurant.
