* BodyguardCrush: Averted, and later Defied. Carl was hired to be Miranda's bodyguard after a bad high-school relationship with a fox.

In fact, when she began officially dating Edgar, [[https://kevinandkell.com/2016/kk0908.html he outsourced his bodyguard duty to Rudy.]] A likely presumed understanding was that Edgar was good enough to protect her, with Rudy as backup just in case.
