*FanPreferredCouple: In Latin-America, the Candy X Terry couple seems to be the most poular one, with lots of fanart and fanfiction (And lot of backlash towards their separation, leading to the creation of several FixFic stories where they became a couple again and get married)

* WhatAnIdiot: Candy is rather naive, yet rarely displays ''active'' stupidity. However, she ''and'' Terry display this trope when [[spoiler: they sneak outside the dorms to meet up with each other ''on the grounds of having supposedly received letters from one another'', without actually checking on any sources AND despite clearly knowing the school's incredibly strict rules]] completely reeks of this trope.
