Trivia[]
- She is the first woman to be seeded with the No. 1 seed in the ToC, and she is the winner of the most prize money among ToC participants after S25 Larissa Kelly.
- For the first time among 10-win champions, the regular game first appearance date and last appearance date are the same day of the week.
- She is the oldest among the 10 champions at the time of appearance.
- Like David Madden (12th game), he is the champion with the lowest Coyrat Score ever ($8,000, First game) among the champions with 10 consecutive wins.
- The last 5-time+ champion before the Co-champions system was abolished[1]. After that, the next five consecutive champions came out in 96 games until Vaughn Winchell, and six or more wins in 156 games (Kerry Greene) came out, so the period of the Spring and Autumn Warring States period was long.
- She is the champion who sat in the middle when he was a contender out of the champions with 10 wins so far[2].
