Dana Dearden
An intern in GBS.
- All for Nothing: Dana spent months gearing herself up to get revenge on OL for getting her fired, even spending the last of her money to get magic coins to give her powers.

- My Greatest Second Chance: The meeting with OL gave him just enough of an idea that he managed to capitalize on it and plans to spearhead the connection between Atlantis' magical research and North America.
- No Mere Windmill: Senator Henry Knight is dismissed by the public and made a laughingstock when he made an ill-informed bid to make a law banning magic after Orange Lantern mocks him in an interview informing the public on the events in Episode 19: Displaced. But Senator Knight was acting in response to an event caused by evil magicians that killed thousands of children when no politician dared to touch the topic.
- Senator Knight later redeems himself politically after accidentally meeting Orange Lantern in a very informative talk. Orange Lantern gave him the most recent information explaining magic to non-magic users and discuss ways to boost America's magical defenses.
