Trivia

• Presumably due to the development team neglecting to make more models with her body type, Candace is incapable of reclassing and wearing the Bath Towel accessory. If she is hacked into other classes, Candace reuses her Adventurer model for them.
• Candace possesses a critical cut-in portrait, a trait shared with Nichol, and lacked by bosses that could be considered much more significant, like Iago and Hans. Additionally, her name is located among the names of characters that can exclusively marry Corrin suggesting she had a more significant role before becoming a paralogue boss.
