** Lord Royal Highness' orange hair, long eyelashes, and glossy red lips visibly take after the even more androgynous [[Music/TheRiseAndFallOfZiggyStardustAndTheSpidersFromMars Ziggy]] [[Music/AladdinSane Stardust]], the most famous of Music/DavidBowie's characters.

Lord Royal Highness' heterochromia additionally nods to a popular misconception that Bowie had the same condition (in reality, it was anisocoria, caused by an injury sustained during a high school fistfight).
