I think, assuming that Birdwell Island is a Chancel (which is clearly is, otherwise all the mortals would have gone insane by now), Emily Elizabeth must be the Imperator.
I’ve tried to work it with her as a Noble and Clifford as her anchor, but it just doesn’t work, since he’s got like… three anchors himself.
So she’s the Imperator. Obviously aligned with the Light — no one else could be that positive.

  2. Obviously it’s Clifford et al. who are the Nobles. Noble of Big-Heartedness, Noble of Vanity (Cleo), Noble of Goofiness (T-Bone) … they’re all there.
    And just think about the song.

    Clifford needed Emily, so she chose him for her own,
    And her love made Clifford grow so big that the Howards had to leave their home.
    Clifford’s the best friend anyone could know
    He’s the greatest dog ever – I really think so!
    Clifford’s so loyal (“Clifford!”) he’s there when you call
    I love Clifford the big red dog.
    So they packed up the family car and the Howards left the city.
    They moved to Birdwell Island and their many new friends
    There to greet Clifford and Emily
    Clifford’s so much fun – He’s a friend to us all
    I love Clifford the big red dog. (“Woof!”)

    “Clifford needed Emily, so she chose him for her own. Her love made Clifford grow so big …” — sounds pretty enNobling to me. And, of course, he’s Emily’s favorite, utterly loyal — “he’s there when you call.”
    Yeah … it all makes sense now. More sense that it made before, at least.

  3. “Her love made Clifford grow so big that the Howard’s had to leave there home…”
    That lyric creeps me out, every time.
