I don't believe that it was ever stated what type of paranormal Devyn is, but Devyn referred to Alexis as a nymph (" . . . the nymph voted most likely to fall down a flight of stairs in a one-story house!"), and I think there was something about Mallory being a nymph as well.

And both Devyn and Alexis referred to Hades and Poseidon as Devyn's uncles.

Which, given the proclivities of greek gods, could simply be the relationship Devyn prefers to think about . . .

Someone needs to fix the date.

The friggin date is fixed, the comic posted just after noon on the 16th.

Doesn't matter it' the comiic for Monday the seventeenth.

You will note that there is, by your logic, no comic for Monday.

This comic appears Monday to Friday. There are no regular-story Sunday pages.

================

Okay, that's weird - if you check the archive, this page isn't listed at all.

It goes straight from"NerdGirls Dancing" to "Best Friend"...

I think Paul needs to clear up some dates.

It certainly would for Zeus. Roughly half of Greek mythology can be summarized as "Zeus couldn't keep it in his toga; hijinks ensued."

Unless, as others have suggested, she's s late bloomer. Psychological and physiological puberty might hit her as suddenly as it did Atsali.

Or this could just be a case of 'exactly what it says on the tin'.

The comic already has homosexuals and bisexuals, so why not asexuals?

According to Paul, Devyn is a Heliad Nymph- or 'Fen' Nymph. Am I stereotyping Nymphs? Maybe, but we are treated to Atsali trying to reject her species' instincts, so I guess Devyn can too.

Not quite . . . Atsali is refusing to be a slave to her instincts/drives . . . Devyn says she doesn't even have the instincts/drives.

She needs to meet Becky.

THERE'S a relationship made in heaven.

It would be funny to see an Apprentice type relationship develop out of such a relationship; Becky & Devyn... "The (Pastry) Force is Strong in this one..."

Or rather, she doesn't want people to think she's ONLY insincts and drive. She doesn't want to come off as the stereotypical siren.

Either way, she has the instincts/drives, and is surpressing them.

Devyn doesn't have them.
