* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: Draconichero has called Nunnally the "Puppy Dog" of the Britannian family. By that he means that Nunnally is so much {{Moe}} and TheWoobie that any member of the Britannia Royal Family--[[{{Jerkass}} Excluding Charles]]--that doesn't want to scoop her up and take care of her has to have the blackest heart ever. Naturally this is used to give [[RichBitch Guinevere]] a PetTheDog moment. And, of course, the author himself has said that he would want to scoop up Nunnally in a blanket and feed her warm soup because of how ridiculously cute she is.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: In the series, Cornelia is portrayed as a [[PluckyGirl plucky]] [[WideEyedIdealist youth]] who [[BreakTheCutie suffers]] and [[HeroicBSOD suffers]] [[TookALevelInJerkass until]] she [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids sees the world for what it is]]. This is instead of her being [[PerpetualFrowner all iron]] from day one, Cornelia here is shown to have [[SheIsAllGrownUp grown into]] [[LadyOfWar how she's shown]] [[IronLady in canon]]. [[WordOfGod According to draconichero]] Cornelia's backstory was based from the simple facts that she [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee adored Marianne]] and actually [[RebelliousPrincess left the empire]] in the second season ''just'' to clear [[ApocalypseMaiden Euphemia's name]]. He said that before that Cornelia was nothing more to him than just another [[TheBaroness cool villain]]. And the rest is history.

** Chapter 152 was originally penned to have Cornelia in prison awaiting trial, but circumstances and [[ShownTheirWork research to]] [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism realistically represent]] the Britannian Empire had it altered and turned the whole charade into a big poltiical bout between Cornelia and her older half-sister Guinevere.

** In drafting an idea for Mashiro's shikai the author originally opted to give her a CoolBike and model her Shikai to make her something like an Expy of GhostRider or {{Lobo}} only to realize the time frame in which she would've had to have gotten said Shikai and realized how AwesomeButImpractical the idea was and therefore scrapped it.
