Line 1,305:
* [[Expy]]: Whimsical, brightly-colored God-queen who loves practical jokes and is simultaneously worshipped yet seen as mostly harmless by her subjects, who is actually a terrifyingly ancient and wise being who maintains this facade because she doesn't want to frighten the mortals around her? Are we talking about Albia of England or [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Princess Celestia]]?
** Ever since the [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200501 candy hair incident], some fans have been calling her "Trollbia". As in 'Trollestia'.
* [[God-Emperor]]: One of the last
** Albia and those trying to "ascend" like her consider this ''sufficiently godlike'' state the next stage beyond Spark, even calling the process of attaining it the "''second'' breakthrough".
* [[Hidden Depths]]: We've already known that Albia was powerful, whimsical, charismatic, and even serious when it came time to really throw down, but during the grand ball sequence Albia suddenly started being ''devious'' as well... to the point that she had three of the most devious members of the most devious family in Europa (the Valois, of course) all hopelessly split up, distracted, and chasing shiny diversions instead of spotting the intrigue in progress in ''five minutes''.
Line 1,317:
{{quote|'''Klaus''' (personality overlay): It is ''not'' magic — and, for Heaven's sake, don't ''call'' it that in front of Albia. Everything she does is subject to the laws of nature. Hers is a science ''so advanced'' it merely ''seems'' like —}}
* [[Telepathy]]: Occasionally uses it to communicate and cancel mind control.
* [[Teleportation]]: Or some equivalent. She certainly has advanced understanding of space (as seen in the Queen's Henge), and does something to vanish and appear where she wants to. So far, used it only to give some guests (Gil and Tarvek, and later Martellus and Seffie) brief panic attacks.
* [[Time Abyss]]: "Her Undying Majesty" is not just a honorific. She got too many memories to carry them all. As to the changes, she was around back when Britain was connected to the continent...
** Albia is noticeably nostalgic for her circle of "sister Queens" (''that'' fun time ended about five millennia ago). She occasionally sends explorers, but "tries not to get her hopes up", and it was above-average news that at least Skifander is still around, if not Luheia herself.
** ...and [[Lonely at the Top]]: That could be ''only'' nostalgia, but Albia was also disappointed that Luheia wasn't replaced by another Immortal God-Queen, and quite excited to discover Agatha already have tasted and survived "god mode".
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: When she was already Sufficiently Godlike, at that. She was barely saved by Sianna's [[Heroic Sacrifice]] when the enemy came for the Queens. Now ''[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20180718 unlike other surviving God-Queens]'' Albia sends her representatives and explorers everywhere and doesn't hide who and what she is. Which delivers an implicit yet obvious challenge: "I'm right here — go on, come at me ''now''". And when she met {{spoiler|Lucrezia ([[Grand Theft Me|sort of]])}} the next time, Albia specifically made a point that she was preparing for their eventual rematch:
{{quote|(deflects lightning) We have ''learned'', demon. You will not kill ''Us'' that easily!}}
* [[You Kill It, You Bought It]]: Albia started with spying upon and deposing the neighbour "Witch Queen" Lozz who was raiding her people. Then she walked to the mirror... The rest seem to have decided Albia is easy to deal with (she sort of is, and back then was really chatty), so they just brought her up to speed and eventually helped to achieve "second break-through", making her what she is now.
