AllYourPowersCombined: Miranda; as the inheritor of the Aurelian magic she possesses all kinds of elemental magic (most people only have one), has the ability to use sorcery in her own right (most people have to appeal to a god to help them) and her powers involve elements of spirit magic (otherwise very rare).

ChosenOne: Miranda certainly appears to be one, since she is the first person in five hundred years to be born with the Aurelian power, granting her unique control over all forms of magic. What she's been chosen to do, however (and by whom) is a little less clear. Miranda becomes convinced that she has been chosen to [[spoiler:destroy the Empire]] but Michael talks her out of it.

InsistentTerminology: Princess Romana never refers to Demodocus and Portia as Emperor and Empress, always as Prince Imperial and Princess Consort, due to her allegiance to the Faith of Aegea which holds that there is only one Empress, Aegea. Portia doesn't mind but it infuriates Demodocus.
