Trivia

• Dana Terrace considers Waffle to be like Flapjack's little sister.^[4]
• She is the final named character to be introduced in the series.
• Although she is based on a blue jay, her possession of blue feathers is inaccurate to real-life blue jays, where the bright coloring is only typical in males. Female blue jays have a muted coat with only a trace of blue found on their crest feathers.
