* SiblingYinYang: Blanche is a graceful ruler, wears white robes and is the purer of the two. Rouge is said to be evil, dresses like a fighter in black and red clothes and wields a bow.

* AscendedExtra: While he's always been one of the symbols of the fort, he used to be a mere trialmaster in earlier seasons, appearing two or three times an episode to ask a riddle. Later seasons turned him into the master of the fort and the closest thing the game has for an antagonist, giving him plenty more appearances, as he is the one giving each new trials and presiding the challenges with the Masters of Darkness.
