* From the sheer amount of fan-requested Omakes about her in ''FanFic/TheFifthAct'', Yuffie. She only appears in a small subplot and as the punchline to a BrickJoke but the readers lapped it up. Probably because her scenes are the few purely funny scenes and because her {{Noodle Incident}}s are ripe for extra stories.
