* ManofKryptonite: As a being empowered by the fear of being controlled, Makima is in many ways the exact worst opponent for the Simurgh, seeing as how the Simurgh has basically become synonymous with people being controlled or pupated against their will and most of it's plans involve controlling people and directing them, pretty much any action taken by the Simurgh only increases Makima's power.

* Outside-ContextProblem: Makima is this to the world of Earth Bet, as a supernatural being with powers and abilities completely disconnected from those stemming from the Entities. As further evidence of her outside-context status, she's shown to have a severely deleterious effect on Thinkers who try to analyze her, including the Simurgh. While not an outright blind spot like Scion, it's shown that she's something of a blur in the timeline, that while capable of being seen, cannot actually be understood.

Unfortunately for them, many people are able to recognize it for what it is, with many noting it's too little, too late.

Furthermore, she's shown to be exceedingly good with Bitch's dogs, with all three of them quickly coming to like her.
