I have to admit that when I first saw the image of Monica flanked by her two watch dogs I was thinking that the one in her right pocket is demon and the one in her left a representative of the dead since she communicates with the Demon Realm and the Realm of the Dead. But I am gravitating to the skull demon as her aspect of mortality as she is finally admitting to herself that she has immortality now so she has no fear of it anymore. If she respects an aspect instead of fearing it it might just empower it as it looks here.

Could always go with Bruce:

I dunno. If I saw Monica walking down the street, looking like that, I'd stay out of her way even if there were no demons visible. I would guess you'd have to be a pretty high powered threat to have Monica need them, nowadays. Though I suppose her powers don't really lend themselves to self-defense, so they are necessary.

Maybe, but as far as Monica not having a self defense power, I think poiting an enemy into the Sun is quite a self defense power. :twisted:

That is how I was raised to see it. :( (only way for a nerd to make it through the school system in the 70's and 80's)

Re: What can the Demons Do?

From what I understand the only one of Monica's demons who can physically affect their host - or the real world at all - is the one with the 'nose flick' - the others are limited to what they can talk her into.
If she's not paying attention to her inner peanut gallery, they might slip in some 'lethal advice' - something that could result in another's harm, or death. Tina's demons can speak to people directly, and are thus very dangerous - she can tell someone's heart to stop, and it will, before they can react.
We still don't know if Mon's demons can or cannot directly affect the vampires - the demons may be limited to giving irresistable orders ("Go f@<k yourselves" seems to be on Doubts mind) or may be able to affect supernaturals directly.

Gonna have to wait and see.....

BTW, just noticed how - pleased Doubt seems to be after the brush-off....and she got her lips back for that little smile....
