## Trivia

* Whitney has portrayed the most amount of characters out of any actor/actress to appear in the series, at ten.
	+ For quite some time, Whitney had been the only recurring actor/actress of the series to portray more than one rapping character, until Alyssa Preston, who portrayed Mrs. Claus in *Mrs. Claus vs Mary Poppins*, returned to play the Queen of Hearts in *Queen of Hearts vs Wicked Witch*.
		- If cameos are considered, then Kevin Allen would have been between Avalon and Preston, as he portrayed Bert in *Mrs. Claus vs Mary Poppins* before returning to play a Tim Burton cameo in *Dorothy vs Alice*.
* Whitney has appeared in every installment of *Princess Rap Battles* to date.
* Whitney is the only actor/actress to portray multiple characters from the same ficitonal universe, as she portrayed both Dorothy Gale and the Wicked Witch of the West, both of which come from *The Wonderful Wizard of Oz* franchise.
	+ If one is to consider *Ralph Breaks the Internet*, in which all the officially recognized Disney Princesses exist together, then her portrayals of Snow White, Belle, and Anna would also count towards this.
	+ It could also be argued that her portrayals of Snow White and Freya count towards this, as Freya comes from *Snow White and the Huntsman*, though the portrayal of Snow White in that movie is radically different from the Disney version Avalon portrayed in her battle.
