The Devil Girls

The Devil Girls are a pair of bisexual succubi; like almost all female characters in the Sinfest universe, they are unnamed, but they are distinctive in that one has long magenta hair and the other has somewhat shorter blue hair. They are sometimes seen accompanying the Devil or working for him to corrupt his clients. They are not his only aides but these two are most prominent; unlike most of the Devil's girl servants, they have horns and pointed tails identical to his own. Slick called them androids, and the Devil did not disagree; in one strip, he repairs a separate girl.. Their role is usually to expose the lust of the characters, usually Slick, in an amusingly stereotypical way.

They first appeared to tempt Slick into abandoning a temporary abstention from vice by performing sexually in front of him; since their antics were deliberately staged, it is unclear whether or not their apparent lesbianism might be simply an act to promote prurient interest. However, in 2007-09-16's strip, little hearts float above their heads as they fondle each other while Slick is not even noticeably watching, suggesting genuine romantic feelings. 2008-05-05 and 2008-08-17's strips depicts them sharing a bed, and the former strip further depicts them responding to "the dyke signal" (part of a running gag where characters respond to a specific signal ala Batman), a somewhat clearer indication of their sexuality.

Expand My World Series

During the first week of strips in January 2009, one of the Devil Girls was the focus of the week. During this period, called Expand My World, she was spending her time teasing Criminy. During that time, it would appear that he endeared himself to her for calling her "a delightful devil-person". At the midpoint of the series, Seymour appeared to try and "save" Criminy from the Devil Girl. At the end of the series, Seymour and the Devil Girl faced off, she causing Seymour's halo to burst into flames. As she was going to toss fireballs at him, Criminy stopped her saying that she "wasn't always a Devil Girl". She did take pause at that and held her attack. In the next panel, the other Devil Girl appeared, and took her away from the situation with the comment, "You were teasing nerds weren't you?" The last panel showed the first Devil Girl with a confused expression waling away with the other, and Criminy asking Seymour if he was alright, to which Seymour looks towards his burnt halo with tears in his eyes and bemoans, "My Halo..."
