Trivia

• Texas has the traits of the now-extinct Texas wolf, which had distinctly dark fur with red undertones, similar to Texas' hair in her Elite 2 artwork and outfits. The crystalline lupine figure in Texas' Elite 2 artwork may be modeled after her namesake.
  • This draws a dichotomy with Lappland, who has the traits of the now-extinct Newfoundland wolf.
  • This makes her one of the three (technically four) operators who are based on an extinct animal. The others are her alter Texas the Omertosa, Lappland, and Passenger.
• Texas's real name, Cellinia Texas, may be a reference to the city of Celina in the American state of Texas, USA.
• Texas is always seen with a Pocky chocolate stick in her mouth that she temporarily pulls away when attacking. According to her illustrator, Texas was originally intended to smoke cigarettes instead of eating Pocky sticks; her sprite's movements clearly animate her as if she is smoking. However, due to public smoking being banned in China around the same time that Arknights was released, the cigarette was replaced by a Pocky stick to comply with the resulting censorship laws.
  • In one of Texas' dialogue lines, she corrects the Doctor after they mistakenly assumed her Pocky was a cigarette; this could be an acknowledgement of how many players draw the same mistaken conclusion in real life due to the change in her character design.
  • Texas' Willpower outfit replaces the Pocky stick with an actual cigarette. The change from smoking cigarettes in her Willpower outfit to eating Pocky in her default outfit might suggest her change in personality as she went from being a mafioso to an ordinary person.
  • Ironically, the chocolate in a Pocky stick is a poisonous substance for canines (including wolves), just as cigarettes are poisonous to humans long-term.
• Even though Texas is seen holding a pair of swords in her Elite 2 artwork, she uses a single sword in her in-game sprite.
• Though she is an ethnic Siracusan, Texas' English dialogues are spoken in American accent since she would have spoken Columbian as her first language, similar to that of Italian Americans.
• With the release of Il Siracusano, Texas became the first ever operator to receive a voiceover in 5 different languages (Japanese, English, Mandarin, Korean, and Italian).
• According to Arknights' first CN anniversary livestream, Texas is the most common 5★ Operator to be promoted to Elite 2.
  • Texas is placed third in the Global server, according to Arknights Global's first anniversary livestream as of the end of Contingency Contract Pyrite.
• Due to their past as mafiosi and their intertwined storylines, Lappland and Texas are often shipped together in the Arknights community. However, Texas is also often shipped with Exusiai due to their close friendship and relationship as colleagues.
• Texas has become the subject of a meme in the Global server's community concerning her English skill activation dialogue "Shut up," which can interrupt another Operator's dialogue if Texas' skill is used while they are speaking. This results in Texas being unintentionally "rude" to other Operators, especially if they also happen to have English dialogues.
