Trivia[]
- In the 4Kids dub, it was stated that Faragonda and Griffin were in the same grade level when they attended Alfea and Cloud Tower respectively.
- It is also mentioned that Ediltrude attended the Cloud Tower around the same time as Griffin, so they are most likely the same age.
- She and her sister constantly quarrel but actually have a very deep bond with one another.[1]
- She could be inspired by Morticia from The Addams family, since both of them share a lot of physical traits. They both have long dark hair, pointy face, tall height, thin body, both are witches and they use costumes in purple or black shades, both having long flared sleeves. The only difference is that Morticia uses a dress and Ediltrude uses trousers.
