* CompleteMonster: Liang Qi is one really, really psycho DarkActionGirl. What puts her here is neither her abuse of Yunyun or Cummings nor her horrible NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on Maria, though both episodes are effing bad...but [[spoiler: tricking Hakko into killing her beloved Santana with her lethal voice, and then mocking her over the monitor.]]

* GeniusBonus:
** Alphard is the name of a star in the middle of the Hydra constellation. It is also known as the "Heart of the Snake" because of that (thus, no wonder Alphard commands the "Snakes"). "Al-Phard" also means "the lonely one" in Arabic because it's the brightest star in the whole sky sector.
** Canaan is the name of the land that eventually became Israel in [[Literature/TheBible the Old Testament.]]
** Before even that, "Canaan" referred to Phoenicians (you can even hear the phonetic similarity) in their own language. Phoenicians were the supreme mariners and traders of their time and founded Carthage, TheRival and WorthyOpponent to AncientRome. They also invented the alphabet.
