I was looking at the descriptions and a couple of them seem out of date to me.

  1. The book - What Am I? The Quentin Story -

Quote
Quentin is known for being in charge of Graveyard Quests...but there has always been that lingering question...

If this is referring to species, we now know that Quentin is a Ji-Meneb. If it's supposed to be about gender it might strike people as a bit rude like using he or she to refer to them.

2: Figidget minion.

Quote
Figidgets were terribly sad minions before Quentin took residence at Shadowglen. They have such gentle and happy natures, but their odd appearance caused people to turn the other way if they approached. Quentin had no such distaste, and fed and petted the chubby little demon minions. Now they are always to be found close to Quentin, and some have speculated from their appearance they might even be distantly related in some way.

Are the Ji-Meneb supposed to be demons? If not, having a demon as a distant relative on the evolutionary tree doesn't really make sense.

I believe that is meant to be a reference to their gender, but honestly, Quentin has gone like 6 years without their androgyny being addressed as something to fight for or something to assign a name to other than simple uncertainty on everyone else's part. Just because a recent outbreak broke out of people complaining about how they felt I don't think it should be changed.

And the items says "SPECULATED from their APPEARANCE" aka. not saying that they are related and not saying that it is speculated through their DNA. It also says "in SOME way," meaning it does not have to be referring to Quentin's evolutionary tree or Quentin's genetic structure. Quentin is still a large mystery for the most part, we have no idea how everything works.

In the outdated Quentin article which is going to be changed (see Keith and Amber's posts in Sort Out Quentin's Background and Gender we're told -

Quote
There have been no explanations on from where Quentin has come or whether there are others like them with horns, pointed ears and claw-like fingernails. Some Subetans believe that Quentin may very well be a somewhat friendly demon, possibly a descendant of the clan described in one of the many legends surrounding the Krypts within the graveyard.

In later articles we're told that Quentin is a Ji-Meneb and this race originated in the Darkside. Unless they are demons there's no logic in speculating about a similarity of appearance between the Ji-Meneb and a little demon minion with horns because everyone would know they can't be related.

Keith said that Quentin isn't going to be assigned a gender while Amber said she and Jessi are working on updating Subetapedia articles for NPCs. It's really up to them to decide whether the description for the Figidgets needs to be changed.
