Anyway, if Zimmy is a demon, she's not a very harmful kind. What's she done since we've known her? Acted obnoxious, stopped Reynardine from sabotaging the science fair, got rained on and planned to chase spiders. What's Reynardine done? Killed a nice Rogat Orjak (and probably a lot of other people/creatures we haven't heard of), attempted to do the same to our heroine, tried to sabotage the science fair, and been generally irritating.

If Zimmy is a demon, she's not as bad as Rey. The only really malicious thing I've seen her do is stomp spiders, and considering how many of them have tried to stomp her, that's sort of understandable.

Yes, very true. I don't imagine all demons are created equal, but the bottom line is I don't know what else to call her, so I was using the demon label more out of humor than anything else. She's certainly not an ordinary girl. I doubt she's even fully human - most likely a hybrid herself. But that's just speculation.

I guess it's too soon to label her, even just for fun.

Edit: Also, Zimmy is a creation of the dark recesses of Tom's mind. It's highly unlikely she matches anything already in existence. She's going to be unique, I'm certain of that.

So what is Zimmy? Well, she's ...Zimmy.

2nd edit: Removed part of the quote unrelated to my response.

I doubt the reason Reynardine dislikes Zimmy is because she's some kind of opposite of his (an angel or something). It seems much more likely that she's more in the demonic corner, but simply something so bad it disgusts even Reynardine.

That's pretty much the impression I got.
