If the player accepts the deal, she and her father will congratulate on their scam as the player looks shocked; if the player refuses to buy, she and the father will be disappointed. She is one of the victims of the Dark Lord's attack of the Neksdor Town, eventually having her face placed on the "Shady Merchant Daughter" Blade located in the Great Pyramid.

## Trivia

* In the EU version of the game, the Prickly Couple is known as the “Prickly Pair”. This may be a play on "prickly pear", which is a common name given to cacti of the genus *Opuntia*.
* Excluding the Genie, the people of the Neksdor Town are mostly gender-bent parallels to the people of the Greenhorne Town.
	+ The Dancing Guide mirrors the Carefree Guide, being much more active instead of lax.
	+ The Rambling Old Man mirrors the Cheery Granny, being much more cranky and stuck in the past.
	+ The Shady Merchant Family mirrors the Worried Mother and Sassy Child, as the Shady Father encourages crime while the Worried Mother aims to keep her child out of trouble.
	+ The Prickly Couple mirrors the Lovey-Dovey Couple, with the obvious distinction being their dysfunctional relationship as opposed to an overly sweet one.
	+ The Worried Explorer mirrors the Sarcastic Guy, being much more frightened about the looming threat while the latter largely ignores it.
	+ The Desert Celebrity mirrors the Dubious Mayor, being much more glamorous and do-gooder.
	+ If counting the Prince from a Nearby Land, he mirrors the Princess, being selfish and vain while the latter is caring and selfless.
	+ If counting the Genie, he mirrors the King, being greedy and a liar while the latter is honest and generous.
* The default Mii characters used for the Shady Merchant Family in the Switch version (Cyn for the Daughter and Suss for the Father) have similar designs as the Mii characters used for the Imp’s (for the daughter) and the Thief‘s (for the father) artwork for the 3DS version, albeit the daughter has a darker skin tone and different colored eyes. Also, Suss was used as a Chef in some of the Switch trailers (with the favorite color red).
* The European Switch version gives different default names for the roles:
	+ The default name for the Dancing Guide in the European region of the Switch version is Trotter.
	+ The default name for the Rambling Old Man in the European region of the Switch version is Harpo.
	+ The default name for the Shady Merchant Daughter in the European region of the Switch version is Delia.
	+ The default name for the Shady Merchant Father in the European region of the Switch version is Junkie.
	+ The default names for the Prickly Couple in the European region of the Switch version are Chalky (Prickly Husband) and Bree (Prickly Wife).
		- This may be a play on the idiom "like chalk and cheese", which describes two people who are very different from each other. Bree may be a play on "Brie", a type of cheese.
	+ The default name for the Worried Explorer in the European region of the Switch version is Ant.
	+ The default name for the Desert Celebrity in the European region of the Switch version is Pursilla.
* The Rambling Old Man is the only character coded to have the Aging status to achieve the effect for his appearance.
* The Worried Explorer, like some recurring NPCs, use one of the Personality voices. In Neksdor Town and the Traveler's Hub, he uses the Cool voice, while in other areas such as the Sky Scraper and Karkaton Peak, he uses the Kind voice.
