* DarkIsNotEvil: Her sisters mock her as "the plain one", because whereas they are the mouse equivalent of the pale-skinned, blonde-haired, blue-eyed PrincessClassic, she is a darkly hued siren with glossy black fur and big moon-like eyes. In addition, whereas they are associated with various beautiful, clear, warm seas, Zenna is associated with the cold, dark regions of the oceans. Despite this, she is the only one of the sirens who is not presented as spiteful, vain and cruel, and she is even directly helpful to Woodget on several occasions in her gratitude to him for his standing up for her.
