~Ness' full name is Nestor Franklin. He insists people call him 'Ness', though, because he likes the reference to the SNES, the console his game came out on

~Poo grew up with the legend of the Dark Dragon, of its legacy and prophecy to someday destroy the Earth, but he also knew it would not awaken until long after his lifetime. His people are descended from the people who once lived alongside the Dragon until it was put to sleep

~When around characters from games that came after his, Ness tries to sound cool by saying things like 'hashbrown yoyo' (because he has no idea what a hashtag is) but when corrected, he refuses to back down because 'my version is better' (but in actuality, he just thinks it sounds funnier)

~Paula's father's surname is Polestar and her mother's surname is Jones. This is why their home-based preschool is called Polestar Preschool but some versions of game canon claim Paula's surname is Jones. In truth, Paula goes by both because she can't decide which one she likes better. (She used to go by 'Jones' but Ness liked the alliteration of 'Paula Polestar' so she leans more towards that in current day.)
