* CreatorsPet: Kendra by the [[WordOfGod author’s own word]] that she’s his favorite OC of the bunch and yet she’s subject to TheWorfEffect a lot and has no romance subplot with any of the major characters besides her brief, failed one with [[SupportingProtagonist Ichigo]]. The only time she ever got favoritism from him is when she was just thrown along with [[TheQuietOne Vera]] into an arc even though only [[EnsembleDarkhorse Vera]] won the fan favoritism to be in it.

In a CrapsackWorld she makes [[IronLady Cor]][[TheStoic nel]][[SpoiledSweet ia]] such the lesser of two evils (if you don’t find her to be the IronWoobie) that, for some, it goes right to making a case of BlackAndWhiteMorality between the two sisters.
