Trivia:
- Araminta’s mother tongue is Latin and she always uses some Latin words or proverbs when she speaks.
- During the earthquake at the beginning of book one, Amelia worries the most about Araminta, as at that time, her other best friend Tony was absent from the palace.
- Araminta likes grapefruits a lot. The reason for that is, grapefruit seems sweet like other citruses, however, when you try to eat it, it turns out to be bitter. Samantha feels that the grapefruit resembles her personality – seemingly sweet, but actually bitter.
