* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Emma. she's a demon from Hell, but she's too much of a lazy slacker to really care about actually doing evil things. She's stuck around with the gang because it means she can sit around streaming TV shows all day while eating chips and Twinkies. That's not to say that she doesn't understand how to be effective at being evil, because she does, but doing so takes work so she doesn't.
