23	* '''Averted''':
24	** No uncles or aunts in the work are evil.
25	** Uncles and aunts are not present in the work at all.
26	* '''Enforced''': "We want Alice's nemesis to have a personal connection to her, and since having the main villain be her dad could be a touch predictable, I think we should have him be her uncle."
