** The quote for the Kid of the Swan Legendary avatar also alludes to this, with Jack stating that Night Swan thinks "we aren't trying hard enough" to be perfect. Considering that in "Treasure" we see Jack create his clones by pulling the reflections out of the mirrors around him, it makes sense to think of "we" as referring to said clones; if the original Jack isn't "trying hard enough" to be perfect, then neither are his clones.
** The specific phrasing used seems to imply neither Night Swan nor Jack are of royal blood (otherwise he would've been straight-up called a prince), but that his other parent is royalty through marriage. WordOfGod has confirmed the Traveler is, in fact, not a deity, so it's possible to think of him as "marrying into royalty", so to speak.

* The Traveler, Wanderlust and Jack all seem to possess some kind of [[ThePowerOfGlass mirror manipulation power]]. With the former two, this makes itself apparent through Discoball, while Jack showcases this through the full-length mirrors that surround him in his solo maps. Both Discoball and Jack's mirrors appear to function in similar ways, acting more as screens rather than actual mirrors, and both have been confirmed to be susceptible to being hijacked by Night Swan's Dark Flow. Also notable is Jack of all characters singing the line "dancing like a discoball" in "If You Wanna Party", which is otherwise an odd creative choice considering Jack never even interacts with Discoball.
* In general, Wanderlust and Jack appear to have been conceived by the creative team as {{foil}}s to each other, with vastly opposite parental relationships and personalites, as well as contrasting designs and elements of FashionableAsymmetry that mirror each other (Wanderlust's capelet vs. Jack's FluffyFashionFeathers). This was possibly done to establish them as "light and shadow" half-brothers who start out at odds but find common ground, in a subversion of CainAndAbel.

For non-meta reasons: she seems to be able to manipulate the settings around her, suggesting she might have dimensional powers as well. As for why she's not involved in the story, she's very independent and prefers honing her dance skills on her own as opposed to wandering the Danceverses like her brother.
