All There in the Manual: Nancy is never referred to by name in the short, although Vivian's Dartboard of Hate has her name written on two newspaper articles about her. Her name is given in the credits. |

comment |
Minimalist Cast: The three characters in the short are Vivian the goth girl, Nancy the Alpha Bitch, and Belphagor the adorable demon. Justified as this short is a student-made animation project, which usually have simple storylines and small casts of characters so they can be completed by a certain deadline. |

Paper Destruction of Anger: To demonstrate to Belphagor what she wants him to do to Nancy, Vivian takes a photo of her and tears it into tiny pieces, then hands him an identical photo. He puts it in his mouth, chews for a few seconds, and spits out an origami crane. |

Hate Sink: Nancy's introduction is her pushing Vivian out of the bus and then stepping on her while talking on the phone all while directly insulting her. It makes Belphagor enforcing Cuteness Overload on her extremely satifying, especially when he steps on her afterward as well. |

Origami Gag: After Vivian summons the demon Belphagor, she tears apart a photo of Nancy to demonstrate what she wants Belphagor to do, then hands him an identical photo. He swishes it around in his mouth for a few seconds before spitting out an origami crane, which makes Vivian pound her head against the desk. |
