Devi D.

Devi D. in JTHM

Devi D. is a character originally from the JTHM comics, and later was the main character in her own spin-off I Feel Sick. Nicknamed "The One That Got Away", Devi befriended Johnny and became a potential love interest, though she is unaware of his antisocial behavior and homicidal tendencies until he attempts to murder her while under the control of the doughboys. A struggling artist, she worked in a bookstore for half the duration of JTHM; the other half is spent painting in her apartment. Devi was one of the few people who actually met Johnny in person and lived to tell about it. She's also the only person (besides Squee) Johnny has ever truly felt any positive feelings for. They met in the bookstore she once worked in before she became a professional artist, and went on a date that ended in almost being able to kiss, but instead, Johnny felt so happy that he wanted to 'immortalize the moment' and attacked Devi. Instead, she beat him up and fled. Ever since, he has been occasionally trying to contact her to apologize and try and explain his odd reasons for trying to kill her, in which she responds to by locking herself in her apartment and screaming at him over the phone. Johnny seems to show selflessness and great care toward her by trying to become cold so he has a lesser chance of killing her again.

Devi D. in I Feel Sick

In I Feel Sick, it is revealed that she was raised by her father, at least from her mid-teens, and has remained somewhat antisocial since then, stemming from her disastrous first date. Her later attempts at dating fared no better, and have in fact become worse (her last two attempts being a sufferer of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and the homicidal maniac himself). Presently, she has become even more of a shut-in and has been attempting to make money as a professional artist. However, she finds it monotonous and annoying, and can't seem to create practically anything for herself. Her latest creation was that of Sickness, a painting of a doll-like version of herself who is able to talk to her (much like the Doughboys in JTHM). Devi fears that Sickness is stealing her creativity, which is proven to be true when Sickness keeps telling her to ignore her/let her take over (and that there is no way to stop her), and when Devi recalls a conversation she had with Johnny about what happens when a person's most defining trait is taken away from them (it is implied that Johnny is the one that caused Devi's current mental state and that she will become like Johnny if she allows Sickness to continue taking from her). She quits her job at Nerve Publishing, and rushes home to try and beat Sickness. However, Sickness laid several traps for Devi along the way (her friend, Tenna, dead animals, a perverted man, a hyperactive child, and the Psychic Fat Lady. She attempts to squeeze through the Psychic Fat Lady's fat and learns that it is what makes the lady psychic. It tells Devi about a boy she used to know as a child named Spidgey Simmons. He was in love with her but she didn't seem to accept/grasp these feelings and rejected him. He later died of a chalk-induced asthma attack, caused by Devi breathing chalk dust into his face (accidentally). Because of this, Devi can never have a good relationship and she must keep her creativity or she will lose herself altogether. She makes it home only to find Sickness has escaped the painting (albeit prematurely). Sickness makes one last effort to convince Devi to give up, but Devi declines and states that her life sucks but she must keep it because it's all that she has (and that Sickness is now her tortured audience).
