91	One of the many servants of the Fairy Kingdom, and a massive ladies' man with a particular fondness for Load Ran.

110	* {{Expy}}: A painfully obvious one of [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Tinker Bell]], right down to the dress design.

211	** Her ending in the Saturn is slightly changed so that her voice-acted recitation of TheLongList of foods she wants to wish for engages in a FastForwardGag for further exaggeration, and even then it lasts ''33 seconds.''

220	* SNKBoss: This ''is'' an SNK game, after all. She's a prime example of Main/TheComputerIsACheatingBastard. She is able to dodge everything you throw at her, can easily make chains to cancel out your boss attacks, and constantly spams her annoying EX attacks.
