As a result, the girls are never allowed to change in some drastic way, nor the plot develop into a major or lasting change - no matter how the events of each novel play out.

[[spoiler:Eventually, the Guardians advise her to switch places with an Astral Drop at her coronation. It turns out to be the right call since Phobos tries to assassinate the Astral Drop, but in the melee, the false king seemingly murders Caleb.

Despite her heartbreak, Cornelia resolves to [[spoiler:save Caleb when receiving a power boost]]. That should solve all the problems, after their mutual hardship? [[spoiler:No; Caleb finds out that Cornelia is a minor, and {{Squick}}s at the thought of dating a kid. He breaks up with her and while he has sparks for Elyon, [[ThisIsWrongOnSoManyLevels it's established as being a really bad thing]] especially when Cornelia finds out. To make matters worse, the Oracle points out that their relationship would have foundered regardless because they live in two different worlds; Cornelia would never forget her home, and Caleb would get arrested due to lacking papers and being a figure of interest in the Elyon case]].
